            or residential uses.

(2)   The purpose of the Local centre zone will be achieved by the following overall outcomes:

            the Noosa Shire Centres Hierarchy.

            Centre zone;

            needs including local grocery shopping, local employment, offices, cafes and dining, a limited range of entertainment,
            community services and residential use in conjunction with a non​residential use.
      (e)   Local centres provide a single supermarket and a small range of specialty shops, cafes and restaurants (other than where
            incorporating a high volume convenience restaurant and/or a drive­through facility), personal services, local offices servicing
            the day to day needs of the local community and a local employment.

            business function of the zone;
      (g)   Entertainment uses contribute to the economic activity and vibrancy of the business centre both day and night;
      (h)   Local centres are developed as vibrant, mixed­use places incorporating good architecture.

            village environments.
      (j)   Development facilitates the creation of vibrant and safe neighbourhood centres, with attractive and functional buildings and
            streets with integrated high amenity public places;

            pleasant traditional coastal or hinterland community feel.
      (n)   Local centres are a focal point for the surrounding community and where possible are co​located with or include other local
            facilities such as churches, halls, schools, parks or community uses.
      (o)   Buildings are designed and operated to avoid adverse impacts on the amenity of surrounding residential development
            such as noise, lighting, waste, fumes, odours, overlooking, public health and safety.

            use of existing infrastructure;
