7.3 DESIRED ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES

The Desired Environmental Outcomes (“DEOs”) are statements of broad policy at a shire-wide
level, and form the foundation from which other provisions of the Noosa Plan are developed.
Part 3 of the Noosa Plan contains 12 DEOs, each relating to a specific policy.

The Commercial & Retail Uses DEO is considered to be of most relevance to the proposed
development. This DEO is set out as follows:

         A hierarchy of centres with a range of Commercial and Retail business uses provide
         suitable levels of amenity, service and access to the community, consistent with the
         community’s location and needs and is based on—

         i.   a proportion of Noosa’s higher order needs fulfilled by centres in other areas,
              particularly the key regional centre of Maroochydore;

         ii. the Shire Business Centre, a Major Activity Centre for the purposes of the SEQ
             Regional Plan and the highest order centre within the former Noosa Shire, developed
             in stages consistent with the needs of the population of the former Noosa Shire and
             areas to the immediate south;
