        support housing choice and affordability. In higher order centres and visitor centres, building height and form reinforce higher
        levels of activity and intensity. The highest intensity of built form occurs in the highest order centres. In neighbourhood centres,
        building form is more modest and provides a sensitive transition to nearby residential areas. Building height complements the
        surrounding neighbourhood.
 (q)    Noosa Shire’s hierarchy of activity centres is indicated on Strategic Framework Map SFM­2 ­ Economy and Employment.
 (r)    Noosa is also serviced by the Maroochydore Regional Activity Centre, located outside the Noosa Shire. The Maroochydore Centre
        provides for higher level retail, business and community services for the broader region. It is expected that higher order retailing
        and facilities that service the Noosa community will continue to be located outside Noosa Shire. The hierarchy for centres in
        Noosa Shire is shown below.

 (s)    The identified role and function of centres within Noosa Shire is as follows:
        (i)   Major Centres ­ Noosa Business Centre and Noosa Junction
              (A)    The major centres of the Noosa Business Centre and Noosa Junction are the highest level of centre in the Shire
                     offering diverse business, employment and residential opportunities. These activity centres are accessible to broad
                     catchment areas across the Shire, offering higher order shopping and commerce, entertainment, health, education
                     and community facilities, as well as higher density housing choices. They are well serviced by public and active
                     transport networks and increasingly offer active, pedestrian focussed street­level environments. The role and function
                     of these major centres are such that they are complementary and do not compromise the viability of each centre.
              (B)    Noosa Business Centre – is a key higher order centre in the Noosa Shire as it is designated as a major centre in the
                     South East Queensland Regional Plan. It caters for the broader Noosaville, Tewantin and hinterland areas of the
                     shire. Its role and function are to provide for a mixed­use Shire­wide Business Centre, with a focus on employment
                     growth and economic diversification being a key employment hub for Noosa now and into the future. Innovation and
                     knowledge­based industries, health, research and education are present as well as higher order sub­​regional retail
                     including a discount department store and full line supermarket. There is a very limited increase in retail floor space,
                     recognising the role of the regional activity centre at Maroochydore in providing high order retail needs.
              (C)    The Noosa Business Centre also includes a transit hub and offers a broad range of commercial, community, cultural
                     and entertainment services in addition to high density housing, which is encouraged as an integrated component of
