        The adaptive reuse of local heritage buildings is encouraged.
 (c)    Noosa Shire has an inclusive community of older people, families, children, young adults and other households.
 (d)    Local employment, housing, entertainment, services and facilities are provided to meet the needs of all generations.

        changing needs.
 (i)    Community services and recreational facilities are spread throughout the Shire in accordance with the needs of the resident

 3.3.3              Housing Choice

 The strategic outcomes for housing choice by 2041 are:
 (a)    Residential development occurs on land that is suited and designated for the intended form of housing and avoids any
        unnecessary removal of significant vegetation.
 (b)    Residential development occurs where it is not in the vicinity of land uses that would adversely impact the amenity of residents.
 (c)    Residential development only occurs where it will not prevent or inhibit the conduct of existing land uses that are legitimately
        located or planned for in that location.
 (d)    Residential development is designed within the planned capacity of infrastructure including roads, water and sewerage.
 (e)    A wide range of housing is spread throughout the existing urban areas of Noosa Shire and responds to housing needs
        associated with factors such as changing demographics, changing composition of households, and lifestyle choices.
 (f)    Additional smaller dwellings on traditional house sites and small dwelling units in centres are provided so that the housing mix
        and choice better reflect community needs.
 (g)    Council will support the Federal and State Government and community based not­for­profit entities in delivering a diverse and
        comprehensive range of social and affordable housing options.
 (h)    Major residential developments will be encouraged to incorporate a range of housing types including more affordable housing
        products for the entry buyer and low­income housing markets.
 (i)    Noosa Shire's exceptional residential character and amenity i s derived from the subtropical climate, relatively low scale/low rise
        built environment, quality building designs and the presence of landscaped open space around buildings. This amenity and
        character i s maintained owing to its significance in protecting the lifestyle valued by residents.
 (j)    Car parking associated with residential buildings is not the dominant built form element when viewed from the street front.
 (k)    Outside of the urban footprint limited areas for additional rural residential lifestyles provide residents with a semi​rural living option.
        These areas are well defined and do not extend beyond existing rural residential zoned land. Development in these areas is
        located and designed to avoid conflicts with rural land uses or environmental values.
 (l)    The planning scheme protects sites for specific housing styles such as residential care, retirement villages and relocatable home
        parks.
 (m)    The planning scheme protects areas for visitor accommodation where a range of accommodation styles support the local tourism
        industry.
 (n)    Neighbourhoods of permanent housing are protected from short term visitor accommodation that would impact on the amenity
        enjoyed by residents, however residents may share their home with guests in a well managed fashion to limit potential impacts.
