                         The eastern side retains its service role to support the district centre by providing small­scale, local convenience
                         goods and services for nearby residents, which may include a small­scale supermarket provided the need can
                         be economically justified.

           (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

           (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.

           that may threaten the function, viability and expansion of these uses.

           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,
