Planning Report - Moonstruck Noosa

         (b)     Visitor accommodation in the urban areas is supported by a mix of business
         activities which create a vibrant atmosphere and complement and enhance the function
         and attractiveness of the area as a visitor destination. Cafes, restaurants, entertainment,
         function facilities and complementary shopping and personal services cater to the needs of
         visitors as well as Noosa Shire residents enjoying these areas.

Comment: The proposed Food and Drink Outlet us is consistent with the purpose and overall
outcomes prescribed for the Tourist Accommodation Zone Code. The use provides for small scale
dining use attached to the Maison Noosa Resort. Outdoor dining is proposed and creates a vibrant
and lively streetscape.

Where consistency is not achieved, sufficient planning grounds to justify the conflicts with the
outcome are provided. Where a Performance Outcome is not shown it is not relevant to the
development proposal.
