         c)        Business Uses contribute positively to the Shire’s economy and
                   employment;
         d)        Business Uses are located where there is an appropriate level of
                   infrastructure and a wide range of functions to support those uses;
         e)        Business development has high levels of accessibility and
                   functionality;
         f)        Business development recognises and protects Noosa’s natural
                   resources and environmental values and seeks to provide sustainable
                   economic and employment growth across a range of industry sectors;

63. The proposed development is required to meet the needs and expectations of the
    local community. The design of the development is compatible with the existing
    character and amenity of the streetscape and surrounding area. Further, it is
    intended to provide a low key and informal atmosphere consistent with the
    existing coastal village character.

64. The proposed development will contribute positively to the local economy and
    employment and is located where there is an appropriate level of accessibility and
    functionality. Importantly, the proposed development will not adversely impact
    upon the hierarchy of centres for the Noosa area and in particular on the existing
    neighbourhood centre.

       designed to be safe and functional and meet the reasonable requirements of
       the particular land use;
