            and B2. The proposed development seeks to locate the majority of the
            development in Precinct E1 and E6 (employment precincts for Technology
            based Business Offices, Civic, and Educative uses); and

      •     The proposed expansion is contrary to provisions of the Noosa Plan
            including the Noosaville Locality Plan and Code, including the Noosa
            Plan Open Space and Conservation Designation and the Noosaville Plan
            Locality Plan (Precinct Floor Area Provisions and Noosaville Locality
            Code site cover, plot ratio and building heights).

In summary, the proposal is in conflict with the planning intent for the site
contained in the Noosa Plan and the SEQRP. The application compromises the
achievement of the overall planning intent of the SEQRP and the Noosa Plan for
the site and would exceed the retail use envisaged in the Noosa Plan and the
Regional Plan. The amount of retail development proposed for the subject site is
excessive for that required of a Major Activity Centre and is at the expense of
higher order knowledge based industries, commercial uses and other
employment generating activities that are the intended purpose of the land. Such
uses, which are intended for development on the site under the Noosa Plan,
would improve the economic viability and the social wellbeing of residents of the
Noosa Shire.
There are not sufficient planning grounds to justify the approval of the
development given its conflict with the Planning Scheme and the application
should be refused.
In determining the proposed development it is requested that Council consider
the representations made within this submission and uphold its planning
scheme.          Should you have any queries in relation to the submission, please
contact Sandy Vigar on 3007 8412.
