                      development within and near to the centre.
                (D)   Development of the Noosa Business Centre is to be consistent with the Noosa­style village character incorporating
                      subtropical design with low­scale pavilion­style buildings at human scale with high amenity landscaping breaking up
                      built form and linking to a village green and an open space corridor. Large box­like buildings are avoided.
                (E)   Noosa Junction – provides for a high level of services for the Coastal Commuities and Noosa Heads areas of the
                      Shire. It is a unique high amenity centre that takes advantage of the adjoining open space at Pinnaroo Park and
                      further builds upon the high amenity landscaping and green leafy feel and character of the centre. Increased diversity
                      of activities and mixed uses within the centre is encouraged, including integrated medium to high density residential
                      development in the form of small dwellings for local workers above the ground floor retail and office uses. Housing
                      could include student and visitor accommodation to reinforce links with existing education providers in the centre and
                      the close proximity to the Hastings Street Visitor Centre.
                (F)   The Noosa Junction major centre is characterised by fine grained built form which lends itself to catering for smaller
                      independent local and boutique retail offerings as well as smaller office spaces that provide for clusters of health,
                      wellbeing and lifestyle sectors. Focus is also on creative industries and entertainment. Noosa Junction functions as
                      a hospitality precinct for dining, late night activity and music (shown on the Noosa Heads Local Plan Zone Map in
                      Schedule 2). Retail activities with active street fronts are consolidated on the ground floor of premises fronting
                      Sunshine Beach Road, the northern side of Lanyana Way and Arcadia Street. There is only limited higher order retail
                      present in this centre compared to the full line discount department store located at the Noosa Business Centre.

        (ii)    District Centres ­ Noosaville, Tewantin and Cooroy
                (A)   District centres provide a mix of activities and services that cater for the weekly and fortnightly needs of surrounding
                      communities. Generally, they do not attract people from beyond the district. They contain a diversity of commercial,
                      community and entertainment​related uses, with supermarket based retailing. They may also include medium density
                      housing above or behind businesses. Any new development should not be of a type, scale or form that would detract
                      or reduce the viability of either of the two major centres in the Shire.
                (B)   The Noosaville District Centre services the surrounding community of Noosaville as well as providing services and
                      facilitates for visitors to Noosaville. Its primary focus is in traditional and bulky goods retailing, including supermarket
                      shopping. The centre includes a health and wellbeing precinct located along Mary Street and the southern end of
                      Thomas Street with a collection of allied health and natural wellness business uses. The Mary Street /Thomas Street
                      precinct is shown on the Noosaville Local Plan Zone Map in Schedule 2.
                (C)   The Noosaville District Centre is to become a more consolidated centre with a focus on developing an activated main
                      street environment located between Noosa Village Shopping Centre and the hotel/tavern, connecting Mary Street with
                      Gibson Road. The centre will also be developed to improve pedestrian connectivity and reduce the visual dominance
                      of car parking.
                (D)   Tewantin District Centre provides a mix of uses including retail, commercial offices, administrative and health
                      services, community, small​ scale entertainment via dining tenancies and cafes, and recreational facilities capable of
                      servicing a district. Residential development in a walk up mixed use format is encouraged in this district centre.
                (E)   The centre of Tewantin has a traditional riverside town identity with the main street located at Poinciana Ave. The
                      centre should continue to develop opportunities to provide food and essential needs and services for local residents
                      and workers as well as the communities of Noosa North Shore, Boreen Point, Cooroibah and visitors travelling to
                      Noosa North Shore and further afield.
                (F)   Cooroy District Centre serves as the main activity centre for the communities of Cooroy and other outlying hinterland
                      villages. Cooroy has a strong historic country town identity with a number of local and state listed heritage buildings.
                      The centre provides services to rural enterprises in the surrounding hinterland area. Shop​top housing in the centre of
                      town and townhouse residential development on the edge of the centre are provided for.
                (G)   Cooroy is divided by the railway line with the concentration of the centre activities located on the western side. The
                      eastern side retains its service role to support the district centre by providing small­scale, local convenience goods
                      and services for nearby residents, which may include a small­scale supermarket provided the need can be
                      economically justified.

        (iii)   Local centres
                (A)   Local Centres are convenience­​oriented centres and may include a supermarket and complementary and ancillary
                      activities servicing the needs of surrounding local communities. Local centres include the coastal village of Peregian
                      Beach, and the hinterland villages of Pomona, Kin Kin, Boreen Point and Cooran. The Peregian Beach local centre
                      adjoins the Rufus Street Precinct and digital hub.

        (iv)    Neighbourhood centres
