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

    (i)   Development protects vegetated views from David Low Way and the beach by restricting the extent of clearing for structures,
          services and access, limiting the vertical and horizontal scale of development and incorporating existing and new vegetation
          that frames or filters views.
    (j)   Activity centres at Sunshine Beach, Sunrise Beach and Peregian Beach provide for the convenience needs of residents and
          visitors within the local community.
    (k)   Whilst opportunities exist for the expansion or enhancement of business functions in both Sunrise Beach Neighbourhood
          Centre and Peregian Beach Local Centre, residents continue to rely on larger centres in Noosa Heads and Noosaville
          and/or centres outside Noosa Shire to fulfil their higher order business, community and industry needs.
    (l)   Development in the Local centre zone at Peregian Beach retains and enhances the built form and streetscape character of
          the centre and promotes activity and vitality through the provision of active street frontages and strong pedestrian
          connections between private development and adjacent public spaces.
    (m)   Sites identified for tourist accommodation are retained and developed for that use to maintain a diversity and choice of
          visitor accommodation and affordability in the local plan area. .
    (n)   Development in the Low Density Housing zone primarily accommodates permanent residents in detached houses.
    (o)   Development in the Medium Density Housing zones accommodates a greater diversity in housing types including dual
          occupancies, multiple dwellings, retirement facilities and residential care facilities.
    (p)   Development for home based businesses including bed and breakfast accommodation may locate in residential zones.
    (q)   Development in the local plan area is supported by an extensive network of open space and passive recreation
          opportunities offered by the foreshore parks, reserves and Noosa National Parks. A buffer between urban development and
          Noosa National Park facilitates regular fire fuel reduction burning.
    (r)   Girraween Estate in the north west of the local plan area provides a range of regional recreational and community facilities
          including sporting ovals, schools, aquatic centre, churches and indoor sports and recreation for the local plan area. These
          facilities serve much of the Noosa coastal urban area.
    (s)   Surf club facilities located at Sunshine Beach and Peregian Beach are retained and continue to provide organised sporting,
          recreational, patrolled beach/life­saving, entertainment and community support to the local plan area. Redevelopment or
          additional development at either site does not extend further seaward, is consistent with the respective primary patrolled
          beach/life­saving function of the club, and does not compromise its respective landscape and ecological setting nor its
          future resilience to the impacts of coastal erosion and long term beach recession.
    (t)   The local plan area enjoys moderate to high levels of accessibility to Coolum in the South and Noosa Heads in the north.
          Eenie Creek Road provides high accessibility for the northern part of the local plan area to Noosaville and Tewantin. These
          accessibility levels are to be maintained and traffic generation of any individual development, or cumulative generation, and
          impacts, do not compromise these levels of accessibility.
    (u)   Development facilitates safe and convenient pedestrian and cycle connections between and around key destinations within
          the local plan area. Access to the foredune and beachfront area is provided via formalised communal access points
          designed to protect dune systems and not individual private accesses.
    (v)   Development in Sunshine Beach –
          (i)     provides housing, multi­unit accommodation and small scale retail, commercial and dining uses in a secluded
                  vegetated, beachside setting.
          (ii)    has a comparatively high proportion of multi­unit accommodation for both visitors and residents;
          (iii)   for visitor accommodation is managed appropriately so as not to reduce the amenity of the surrounding permanent
                  residents and to retain and adequate supply of permanent housing in the local plan area;
          (iv)    in the Tourist accommodation zone provides well­designed entertainment and dining activities which may operate
                  after hours and include controlled live acoustic and amplified music and entertainment, to create a vibrant
                  atmosphere.
          (v)     adjacent to beach areas does not visually compromise the setting of the public beach, nor adversely affect views for
                  the beach.

    (w)   Development in Sunrise Beach –
          (i)     provides a high proportion of detached houses and some multi­unit accommodation for permanent residents
                  including families.
          (ii)    provides a mix of commercial and community uses including convenience shopping, schools, other community
                  facilities located in Ben Lexcen Drive serving the convenience needs of residents;
          (iii)   ensures higher order services locate in the local centre of Peregian Beach, or the district centres of Noosa Junction
