          (iii)   Local centres
                  (A)   Local Centres are convenience­​oriented centres and may include a supermarket and complementary and ancillary
                        activities servicing the needs of surrounding local communities. Local centres include the coastal village of Peregian
                        Beach, and the hinterland villages of Pomona, Kin Kin, Boreen Point and Cooran. The Peregian Beach local centre
                        adjoins the Rufus Street Precinct and digital hub.

          (iv)    Neighbourhood centres
                  (A)   Neighbourhood centres are small­scale centres that provide a limited array of basic, lower order needs including
                        convenience retail, local professional and community services. Existing centres are located in established suburbs
                        and are not anticipated to significantly expand. Neighbourhood centres are located at Swanbourne Way and Weyba
                        Road in Noosaville, Hilton Terrace and Noosa Outlook in Tewantin, Quamby Place in Noosa Heads, and Grasstree
                        Court in Sunrise Beach.

          (v)     Visitor Centres ­ Hastings Street, Gympie Terrace, Noosa North Shore, Sunshine Beach
                  and Noosa Marina
                  (A)   Visitor Centres are located at significant key tourist locations in Noosa Shire and include a mix of uses such as
                        accommodation, dining in the form of cafes and restaurants as well as complementary retail and leisure services to
                        meet the needs of tourists.
                  (B)   Hastings Street, Noosa Heads, functions as the major visitor centre for Noosa Shire. It is predominantly mixed use
                        and caters for national and international tourists as well as the Noosa community and is the location of a number of
                        significant festivals and events for Noosa Shire. The extent of business premises in Hastings Street remains limited.
                        It includes a concentration of entertainment and dining uses such as cafes, bars and restaurants. These offer a
                        diversity of entertainment for visitors and locals, as well as provide evening and night activation to the area. The
                        expansion of, or increase in, the number of retail tenancies is not encouraged. Small intimate destination shops that
                        offer unique goods including locally made or designed products are desirable.
                  (C)   Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, is also a major visitor centre for Noosa providing a more family­focused environment
                        adjacent to the Noosa River foreshore for visitors as well as the Noosa community. The centre has a mix of uses
                        including accommodation as well as local cafes, restaurants, leisure and recreation services focused on the river.
                  (D)   Noosa North Shore is the gateway to the Great Sandy National Park and the World Heritage­listed Fraser Island.
                        Much of the area of Noosa North Shore is dedicated to conservation and access is by a ferry across the Noosa River
                        as it is not intended for a bridge to be constructed. Development is secondary to and dominated by the open space
                        setting with a very low intensity and scale. Accommodation and services for visitors are available in the Tourist
                        Accommodation zone and the Recreation and Open Space zone. There is no permanent residential living occurring
                        in these zones.
                  (E)   Duke Street, Sunshine Beach and Noosa Marina offer a local level of visitor services with Sunshine Beach providing
                        some accommodation, restaurants and convenience shops servicing visitors and the Sunshine Beach community.
                        Noosa Marina has a river transport focus with some associated retail and restaurants and cafes with no
                        accommodation uses.

(t)       Health and wellbeing uses are located, designed and operated to support community needs and to grow already established
          health and wellbeing clusters. This includes the growth of research and development within this sector.
(u)       Industrial land is retained for industrial uses which generate employment and is protected from encroachment and impacts that
          may threaten the function, viability and expansion of these uses.
(v)       Important agricultural areas, shown on the Agricultural Land Map in Schedule 2, are recognised for their contribution to a diverse
          economy, food security and good stewardship of the land for future generations. Agricultural lands are protected from
          encroachment and fragmentation from incompatible land uses.
(w)       Rural enterprises provide a variety of services and employment opportunities and growth in traditional and emerging sectors are
          encouraged. These may include primary production, agribusiness, value adding, farm gate sales, cottage industries, artisans
          workshops and rural tourism.
(x)       Tourism continues to be recognised as an important sector for the economy. Sustainable, low impact, nature­based tourism and
          rural tourism are supported. Key visitor areas include Hastings Street, Gympie Terrace, Noosa River, Tewantin Marina, Noosa
          National Park, Sunshine Beach, Peregian Beach, Noosa North Shore and the Hinterland.
(y)       Key resource areas KRA 56 Ringtail Creek and KRA 57 Wahpunga Range Kin Kin and their respective haul routes are protected.
          Emphasis is on protecting these extractive resource areas from encroachment by sensitive land uses and from development
