     Appplication
     This code applies to assessable development:­
     (a)   within the District centre zone as identified on the zoning maps contained within Schedule 2 (Mapping); and
     (b)   identified as requiring assessment against the District centre zone code by the tables of assessment in Part 5
           (Tables of assessment).

     Purpose and overall outcomes
     (1)   The purpose of the District centre zone is to provide for a large variety of uses and activities to serve a district of the Noosa
           Shire, including, for example, administrative, business, community, cultural, entertainment, professional, residential or retail
           uses or activities.
     (2)   The purpose of the District centre zone will be achieved by the following overall outcomes:
           (a)    Development supports the Noosa Shire Centres Hierarchy by providing a mix and range of goods and services and
                  employment appropriate to the centre role and function and district catchment.
           (b)    Development complements and does not undermine, the role and function of the major centres of Noosa Junction and
                  the Noosa Business Centre.
           (c)    Development services the needs of the community and visitors and includes shopping centres and full­line
                  supermarkets (where there is a demonstrated need), specialty retail, commercial, residential, office, personal
                  services, health, community and small­scale entertainment and recreation uses compatible with the centre’s role and
                  function.
           (d)    Development contributes to the economic activity and vibrancy of the business centre.
           (e)    Residential uses occur in conjunction with a non­residential use in a mixed­use format and support the predominant
                  business function of the zone.
           (f)    Development integrates with the low rise landscaped character, built form and layout of the centre and creates a
                  pleasant community feel.
           (g)    Development has a high level of architectural merit and contributes positively to the activation of the street and the
                  character of the centre.
           (h)    Development reinforces the traditional ‘main street’ character and scale of development in the centre.
           (i)    Development facilitates the creation of vibrant and safe business centres, with attractive and functional buildings and
                  streets with integrated high amenity public spaces.
           (j)    Residential uses provide housing choice, reduced commuting pressures, creates a mixed­use environment and
                  provides casual surveillance.
           (k)    Entertainment activities contribute to the economic activity and vibrancy of the business centre both day and night.
           (l)    Development gives priority to improved accessibility for walking and cycling.
           (m)    Buildings are designed and operated to avoid adverse impacts on the amenity of surrounding residential development
                  associated with noise, lighting, waste, fumes, odours, overlooking public health and safety.
           (n)    Buildings are designed and sited to sensitively respond to the physical characteristics and constraints of land,
                  including coastal inundation, flooding, steep land, landslide hazard and bushfire hazard, where applicable.
           (o)    Development is supported by appropriate infrastructure and essential services, is consolidated, and maximises the
                  efficient use of existing infrastructure.
           (p)    Development does not compromise the future provision of planned infrastructure.
           (q)    Development provides high levels of sub­tropical and sustainable design including excellence in energy efficiency and
                  water conservation and is resilient to the impacts of climate change.
