                        compromise the viability of each centre.
                  (B)   Noosa Business Centre – is onea ofkey the highesthigher order centrescentre in the Noosa Shire andas it is
                        designated as a major centre in the South East Queensland Regional Plan. It caters for the broader Noosaville,
                        Tewantin and hinterland areas of the shire. Its role and function are to provide for a mixed­use Shire­wide
                        Business Centre, focusingwith 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 floodfloor 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
