6.5.2.2              Purpose and overall outcome

Purpose and overall outcomes
(1)     The purpose of the Medium impact industry zone is to provide for—
      (a)    medium impact industry; and
      (b)    other uses and activities that—
             (i)     support industry activities; and
             (ii)    do not compromise the future use of premises for industry activities.

(2)   The overall outcomes sought for the Medium impact industry zone are as follows: ­
      (a)    development facilitates the efficient use of land for medium impact industries and supporting ancillary uses;
      (b)    incompatible uses, or uses which are more appropriately accommodated in other zones are avoided to protect land for
             medium impact industry activities and to ensure the continued efficient operation and viability of existing and future industry
             uses;
      (c)    development avoids impacts such as noise, odour, dust and other waste on the surrounding area and adverse impacts on
             the natural environment;
      (d)    development does not compromise the function and viability of business centres or the Noosa Shire centres hierarchy;
      (e)    new uses are located, designed and managed to be compatible with surrounding uses and development;
      (f)    retail sales more appropriately located in business centres, such as shops, showrooms and retail­based hardware
             supplies are avoided, except on land fronting Eumundi Noosa Road or Eenie Creek Service Road Noosaville where
             showrooms may locate;
      (g)    small scale retail sales and administrative uses are ancillary to, and have a direct relationship with, the industry activity on
             site;
      (h)    food and drink outlets occur where directly ancillary to and associated with a bonafide industry use on­site and are limited in
             scale and extent;
      (i)    warehouses for self­storage facilities are avoided to protect industrial land from underutilisation;
      (j)    caretaker's accommodation:
             (i)     occurs only where directly associated with an industry activity on site and there is a demonstrated operational need
                     for full­time caretaking;
             (ii)    is ancillary to the primary non­residential use on the site and a small­scale component of the building or premises,
                     subsidiary in size, form and function to the principal non­residential use of the premises; and
             (iii)   is occupied by direct employees of the principal non­residential use of the premises, and other family or children are
                     only accommodated where their safety, health and wellbeing in relation to potential impacts from the primary use/s
                     envisaged in the zone in which the site is located and adjoining, can be assured.

      (k)    buildings are well designed, safe and visually attractive;
      (l)    development is low rise building and does not present bulky to the street frontages;
      (m)    energy and water efficiency through built form are maximised;
      (n)    building setbacks incorporate attractive landscaped areas to road frontages with greater landscape setbacks provided to
             Eumundi Noosa Road;
