7.2.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes

Noosa Heads

(1) The purpose of the Noosa Heads local plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions
for the assessment of development within the Noosa Heads local plan area.

(2) The following overall outcomes apply to the Noosa Heads local plan area:

         (m)    Development in the Hastings Street Mixed use precinct and the Noosa Junction
         Hospitality precinct provides a range of well-designed business and entertainment
         activities including live music and other artistic performances which creates a vibrant
         atmosphere. High design quality, incorporating low rise contemporary sub-tropical building
         and landscape design incorporates appropriate acoustic containment to facilitate late
         night operation.

         (w)    A variety of high-end visitor accommodation, retailing and dining uses incorporate
         indoor/outdoor spaces creating active frontages from early morning to late evening.



Comment: The proposed Food and Drink Outlet is a reuse of an existing building in a retail and unit
accommodation complex (Maison La Plage). The proposed development is compatible with the
existing nature and character of Hastings Street. The proposed reconfiguration of the approved
indoor and outdoor use areas results in an activated streetscape, creating a lively atmosphere and
promoting incidental social interaction between diners and pedestrians. The proposed use is
consistent with the Purpose and desire Overall Outcomes for the locality.

     •   Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation - Subsidiary on Premises #213917,
