3.2 SURROUNDING LAND USES

The subject site is currently used and has historically been used, for commercial purposes. The site‘s
primary frontage to Gibson Road is part of the major road network for Noosa. The site adjoins the
business and tourist centre core of Noosaville. The character along Gibson Road fronting the site and
to the north-east is commercial in nature.

Opposite the site to the north, along Thomas Street are office/medical uses which progress into the
more tourist oriented retail and food uses toward the Noosa River. Diagonally opposite the site to the
north-east is the Noosa Homemaker Centre, which adjoins the Villa Noosa Hotel and Noosa Village
Shopping Centre. Adjoining the site to the south and west are medium density residential uses, with
low density residential on the opposite side of Skipper Place to the east and south-east.

The commercial uses in the adjacent Business Centre precinct are considered higher-order
commercial and service a wide catchment. It is noted that the proposed commercial use is intended
for a local scale.
