          efficient settlement pattern. This allows for a prosperous, effective and viable network of centres to service the needs of the
          community and the provision of employment opportunities.
(o)       Under the centre's hierarchy, each centre is characterised by its scale and function and performs a defined role within the
          hierarchy. The viability of the centres hierarchy is maximised by preventing out­​of­​centre development and avoiding incompatible
          uses within centres.
(p)       Varied building heights and form throughout the centres reinforce urban legibility and centre identity, create a sense of place and
          support housing choice and affordability. In higher order centres and visitor centres, building height and form reinforce higher
          levels of activity and intensity. The highest intensity of built form occurs in the highest order centres. In neighbourhood centres,
          building form is more modest and provides a sensitive transition to nearby residential areas. Building height complements the
          surrounding neighbourhood.
(q)       Noosa Shire’s hierarchy of activity centres is indicated on Strategic Framework Map SFM­2 ­ Economy and Employment.
(r)       Noosa is also serviced by the Maroochydore Regional Activity Centre, located outside the Noosa Shire. The Maroochydore Centre
          provides for higher level retail, business and community services for the broader region. It is expected that higher order retailing
          and facilities that service the Noosa community will continue to be located outside Noosa Shire. The hierarchy for centres in
          Noosa Shire is shown below.

(s)       The identified role and function of centres within Noosa Shire is as follows:
          (i)   Major Centres ­ Noosa Business Centre and Noosa Junction
                (A)    The major centres of the Noosa Business Centre and Noosa Junction are the highest level of centre in the Shire
                       offering diverse business, employment and residential opportunities. These activity centres are accessible to broad
                       catchment areas across the Shire, offering higher order shopping and commerce, entertainment, health, education
                       and community facilities, as well as higher density housing choices. They are well serviced by public and active
                       transport networks and increasingly offer active, pedestrian focussed street­level environments. The role and function
                       of these major centres are such that they are complementary and do not compromise the viability of each centre.
