2019-12-11 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 5 - Final New Noosa Plan - Part 1-6 - Clean version

                 shire. Its role and function are to provide for a mixed­use Shire­wide Business Centre, with a focus on employment
                 growth and economic diversification being a key employment hub for Noosa now and into the future. Innovation and
                 knowledge­based industries, health, research and education are present as well as higher order sub­​regional retail
                 including a discount department store and full line supermarket. There is a very limited increase in retail floor space,
                 recognising the role of the regional activity centre at Maroochydore in providing high order retail needs.
           (C)   The Noosa Business Centre also includes a transit hub and offers a broad range of commercial, community, cultural
                 and entertainment services in addition to high density housing, which is encouraged as an integrated component of
                 development within and near to the centre.
           (D)   Development of the Noosa Business Centre is to be consistent with the Noosa­style village character incorporating
                 subtropical design with low­scale pavilion­style buildings at human scale with high amenity landscaping breaking up
                 built form and linking to a village green and an open space corridor. Large box­like buildings are avoided.
           (E)   Noosa Junction – provides for a high level of services for the Coastal Commuities and Noosa Heads areas of the
                 Shire. It is a unique high amenity centre that takes advantage of the adjoining open space at Pinnaroo Park and
                 further builds upon the high amenity landscaping and green leafy feel and character of the centre. Increased diversity
                 of activities and mixed uses within the centre is encouraged, including integrated medium to high density residential
                 development in the form of small dwellings for local workers above the ground floor retail and office uses. Housing
                 could include student and visitor accommodation to reinforce links with existing education providers in the centre and
                 the close proximity to the Hastings Street Visitor Centre.
           (F)   The Noosa Junction major centre is characterised by fine grained built form which lends itself to catering for smaller
                 independent local and boutique retail offerings as well as smaller office spaces that provide for clusters of health,
                 wellbeing and lifestyle sectors. Focus is also on creative industries and entertainment. Noosa Junction functions as
                 a hospitality precinct for dining, late night activity and music (shown on the Noosa Heads Local Plan Zone Map in
                 Schedule 2). Retail activities with active street fronts are consolidated on the ground floor of premises fronting
                 Sunshine Beach Road, the northern side of Lanyana Way and Arcadia Street. There is only limited higher order retail
                 present in this centre compared to the full line discount department store located at the Noosa Business Centre.

    (ii)   District Centres ­ Noosaville, Tewantin and Cooroy
           (A)   District centres provide a mix of activities and services that cater for the weekly and fortnightly needs of surrounding
                 communities. Generally, they do not attract people from beyond the district. They contain a diversity of commercial,
                 community and entertainment​related uses, with supermarket based retailing. They may also include medium density
                 housing above or behind businesses. Any new development should not be of a type, scale or form that would detract
                 or reduce the viability of either of the two major centres in the Shire.
           (B)   The Noosaville District Centre services the surrounding community of Noosaville as well as providing services and
                 facilitates for visitors to Noosaville. Its primary focus is in traditional and bulky goods retailing, including supermarket
                 shopping. The centre includes a health and wellbeing precinct located along Mary Street and the southern end of
                 Thomas Street with a collection of allied health and natural wellness business uses. The Mary Street /Thomas Street
                 precinct is shown on the Noosaville Local Plan Zone Map in Schedule 2.
           (C)   The Noosaville District Centre is to become a more consolidated centre with a focus on developing an activated main
                 street environment located between Noosa Village Shopping Centre and the hotel/tavern, connecting Mary Street with
                 Gibson Road. The centre will also be developed to improve pedestrian connectivity and reduce the visual dominance
                 of car parking.
           (D)   Tewantin District Centre provides a mix of uses including retail, commercial offices, administrative and health
                 services, community, small​ scale entertainment via dining tenancies and cafes, and recreational facilities capable of
                 servicing a district. Residential development in a walk up mixed use format is encouraged in this district centre.
           (E)   The centre of Tewantin has a traditional riverside town identity with the main street located at Poinciana Ave. The
                 centre should continue to develop opportunities to provide food and essential needs and services for local residents
                 and workers as well as the communities of Noosa North Shore, Boreen Point, Cooroibah and visitors travelling to
                 Noosa North Shore and further afield.
           (F)   Cooroy District Centre serves as the main activity centre for the communities of Cooroy and other outlying hinterland
                 villages. Cooroy has a strong historic country town identity with a number of local and state listed heritage buildings.
                 The centre provides services to rural enterprises in the surrounding hinterland area. Shop​top housing in the centre of
                 town and townhouse residential development on the edge of the centre are provided for.
           (G)   Cooroy is divided by the railway line with the concentration of the centre activities located on the western side. The
                 eastern side retains its service role to support the district centre by providing small­scale, local convenience goods
                 and services for nearby residents, which may include a small­scale supermarket provided the need can be
                 economically justified.
