2019-12-11 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 6 - Section B - Final New Noosa Plan - Part 7 - Clean version

    (h)    The Noosa Business Centre is the major focus for major employment generating development and growth in Noosa Shire,
           particularly in the sectors of education, health and wellness, digital economy, environmental industries and professional
           services. Development at the Noosa Business Centre occurs in a staged manner following the construction of the internal
           circulation road system, creation of an open aired activated village green space for significant community gatherings and
           the provision of land for a sub­regional transit centre that has the potential to function as an integrated public transport
           node, with pedestrian and bicycle paths linking with nearby urban areas. The further development of the transit facility will
           be subject to further investigation and planning with the State Government;
    (i)    In the vicinity of Gibson Road and Mary Street, the District centre zone provides a range of business, entertainment and
           community activities to service the needs of residents and visitors in a form and scale that does not detract from the role
           and function of the Noosa Business Centre.
    (j)    Development in the District centre zone provides improved streetscape and landscape treatments, active street frontages
           and improved public spaces and residential development above street level.
    (k)    Development at the edges of the District centre zone is less intensive with a lifestyle or health and wellbeing focus,
           providing a transition to adjoining residential areas. These transitional uses also include offices which do not generate
           large volumes of traffic or early morning / late evening noise.
    (l)    Residential development in the District Centre zone occurs in the form of small dwellings in conjunction with a non­
           residential use.
    (m)    Development in the Neighbourhood centre zone is a focal point for surrounding residential neighbourhoods and provides
           lower order goods and services to support the day­to­day needs of residents and visitors.
    (n)    Health and medical facilities develop in the Noosa Business Centre, the Community Facilities zone in Goodchap Street and
           the Mary – Thomas Street Health and Wellbeing Precinct.
    (o)    Development in the Low impact industry zone and the Medium impact industry zone accommodates a broad range of
           industry and business uses, avoiding negative impacts on the amenity of nearby residential areas.
    (p)    Activities in industry zones provide important services and products to the community and provide a range of employment
           types.
    (q)    Development fronting Eumundi­Noosa Road, Eenie Creek Road and Walter Hay Drive provides high quality buildings,
           landscaping and integrated signage that improves the visual appearance of these roads as entrances to Noosaville.
    (r)    Development in the Low Density Housing zone primarily accommodates permanent residents in detached dwelling
           houses.
    (s)    Development in the Medium Density and High Density Housing zones accommodates a greater diversity in housing types
           including dual occupancies, multiple dwellings, retirement facilities and residential care facilities.
    (t)    Development ensures permanent residents of Noosaville enjoy high levels of residential amenity and accessibility to urban
           services and recreational opportunities.
    (u)    Retirement living is established in Lake Weyba Drive and Walter Hay Drive (north).
    (v)    Development for home based businesses including bed and breakfast accommodation may locate in residential zones.
    (w)    New residential development in or adjacent to activity centres includes a high proportion of small dwellings.
    (x)    Development in the Community facilities zone provides facilities and services that support the Noosaville community as
           well as the broader Shire, including Noosa Hospital, educational facilities, library, airport and other local services.
    (y)    Development in the Tourist accommodation zone is for visitor accommodation and associated uses that serve visitors to
           preserve and support the role of Noosaville as a tourism focus area.
    (z)    Development in the Tourist Accommodation zone reinforces Gympie Terrace as the primary tourism focus for Noosaville
           with vibrant and pedestrian friendly active street frontages providing a range of small­scale boutique retail and outdoor
           dining experiences amongst visitor accommodation.
    (aa)   Development in the Tourist Accommodation zone on Gympie Terrace provides a range of well­designed entertainment and
           catering activities which may operate late at night and include live music which creates a vibrant atmosphere.
    (ab)   Strong visual and pedestrian linkages to the Noosa River foreshore and surrounding areas are protected.
    (ac)   Noosa River foreshore adjacent to Gympie Terrace is retained as an important recreational space for the local community
           and visitors. Development or operational works maintains it as an idyllic place for passive recreation, walking, dog exercise
           and access to the Noosa River including ferry stops.
    (ad)   Existing businesses on Noosa River foreshore operate only from commercial jetty lease areas providing watercraft for hire,
           tour services and limited ancillary offerings to the community. Slipway services are maintained within the life of any current
           lease.
