     (m)   A supportive hierarchy of activity centres (shown in Strategic Framework Map SFM­2 ­ Economy and Employment is
           maintained to ensure each centre has a defined role and positively contributes to the local and regional network of centres.
     (n)   The hierarchy of centres avoids duplication of business and community facilities and supports an orderly and economically
           efficient settlement pattern. This allows for a prosperous, effective and viable network of centres to service the needs of the
           community and the provision of employment opportunities.
     (o)   Under the centre's hierarchy, each centre is characterised by its scale and function and performs a defined role within the
           hierarchy. The viability of the centres hierarchy is maximised by preventing out­​of­​centre development and avoiding
           incompatible uses within centres.
     (p)   Varied building heights and form throughout the centres reinforce urban legibility and centre identity, create a sense of place
           and support housing choice and affordability. In higher order centres and visitor centres, building height and form reinforce
           higher levels of activity and intensity. The highest intensity of built form occurs in the highest order centres. In neighbourhood
           centres, building form is more modest and provides a sensitive transition to nearby residential areas. Building height
           complements the surrounding neighbourhood.
     (q)   Noosa Shire’s hierarchy of activity centres is indicated on Strategic Framework Map SFM­2 ­ Economy and Employment.
     (r)   Noosa is also serviced by the Maroochydore Regional Activity Centre, located outside the Noosa Shire. The Maroochydore
           Centre provides for higher level retail, business and community services for the broader region. It is expected that higher
           order retailing and facilities that service the Noosa community will continue to be located outside Noosa Shire. The hierarchy
           for centres in Noosa Shire is shown below.

     (s)   The identified role and function of centres within Noosa Shire is as follows:
           (i)    Major Centres ­ Noosa Business Centre and Noosa Junction
                  (A)   The major centres of the Noosa Business Centre and Noosa Junction are the highest level of centre in the Shire
                        offering diverse business, employment and residential opportunities. These activity centres are accessible to
                        broad catchment areas across the Shire, offering higher order shopping and commerce, entertainment, health,
                        education and community facilities, as well as higher density housing choices. They are well serviced by public
                        and active transport networks and increasingly offer active, pedestrian focussed street­level environments. The
                        role and function of these major centres are such that they are complementary and do not compete or
