(a)   within the Noosaville local plan area as shown on Map ZM­12 ­ Noosaville contained within Schedule 2 (Mapping); and

7.2.4.2           Purpose and Overall Outcomes

Noosaville
(1)   The purpose of the Noosaville local plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions for the assessment of
      development within the Noosaville local plan area.
(2)   The following overall outcomes apply to the Noosaville local plan area:
      (a)   The Noosaville local plan area is a vibrant urban setting defined by watercourses and bushland edges including the Noosa
            River, Eenie Creek, Lake Weyba, Noosa National Park and Tewantin National Park.
      (b)   Development within the Noosaville local plan area is limited to land within the urban boundary so as to protect and reinforce
            the character and identity of Noosaville, provide for the efficient provision of infrastructure and services, avoid constrained
            land and protect the surrounding significant environmental areas.
      (c)   Development in the local plan area is sited and designed to retain the key natural environment, landscape and built form
            elements, including significant views and vistas to external elements that contribute to the setting, character and identity of
            the Noosaville local plan area including:
                    (i)      the Noosa River, its foreshore parkland and riparian qualities;
                    (ii)     native vegetation, particularly adjoining watercourses;
                    (iii)    Keyser Island and Weyba Creek Conservation Parks;
                    (iv)     Lake Doonella;
                    (v)      Weyba Creek;
                    (vi)     Wallace Park;
                    (vii)    Lake Doonella Bushland Reserve;
                    (viii)   Noosa National Park, Noosa Headlands, the secondary dune system, Lake Weyba and Noosa North Shore.

      (d)   Development recognises and reinforces the waterfront location and character of the local plan area by providing high
            quality, low rise, sub­tropical buildings and landscape design that promote the casual, outdoor lifestyle. Buildings have a
            strong relationship with the outdoors through the incorporation of natural materials, verandahs and glazing.
      (e)   Development design and siting responds to the relatively flat topography of Noosaville by creating visual interest and
            differentiation in built form through design and the application of:
                    (i)      a range of textures, colours, styles and finishes;
                    (ii)     a range of architectural elements within the context of a sub­tropical architectural theme;
                    (iii)    varied roof heights, that cumulatively make a positive contribution to an interesting skyline;
                    (iv)     varied setbacks which create opportunities for both landscaping and design variety; and
                    (v)      retention of mature trees and the provision of new landscaping which create attractive spaces between
                             buildings.

      (f)   The Noosaville local plan area maintains its roles for both the provision of much of the commercial, retail, administrative,
            industrial and social needs of the coastal urban portion of Noosa Shire and as a major focus area for visitor
            accommodation and services.
      (g)   The Noosa Business Centre off Eenie Creek Road is a Major regional activity centre identified in the South East
            Queensland Regional Plan 2017 providing a wide range of centre activities to meet the local needs of communities across
            Noosa Shire, acknowledging that the Principal regional activity centre at Maroochydore provides the highest order and a
            greater range of goods and services.
