vii.     the town of Pomona and the village centres of Kin Kin, Boreen Point and Cooran;
viii.    Uses that comprise a large component of Commercial and Retail business uses or other
         non-industrial uses are not located on land that is otherwise intended for Industrial
         business uses;
 ix.     Home-based business uses that contribute to the economy of Noosa, but do not reduce
         surrounding residential amenity or environmental values; and
  x.     energy efficiency and water conservation principles.

Comment: The Desired Environmental Outcomes (DEO‘s) nominated for Commercial and Retail Uses
broadly nominate the importance of protecting the continued function of the existing established
centres in the former Noosa Shire area.

The proposal represents the redevelopment of an existing commercial site on the periphery of an
established commercial centre. This established centre generally supports higher level uses that
appeal to the wider Noosa catchment, while the proposed commercial tenancies support local scale
uses to be accessible predominantly to the immediate locality. A lot of these small scale uses will
compliment the existing and continued function of the Business Centre as a higher order commercial
provider.

The Economic Impact and Need Assessment prepared by Foresight and included in Attachment 4
concludes that there is a community and planning need for the development; that the proposal will
create a benefit to the community; that the proposal will ensure the provision of appropriate facilities
to meet community needs for basic requirements; and that the convenience centre is not expected to
jeopardise the vitality or viability, or threaten the functional roles and levels of service, competitive
centres provide to the community.

The proposed development is compliant with the applicable desired environmental outcomes for
commercial and retail uses.
