planning report

The relevant Purposes and Overall Outcomes seek for development in Noosa Junction to retain its
traditional main street focus with a strong core of independently operated businesses fronting
Sunshine Beach Road, Lanyana Way and Arcadia Street. Residential and commercial uses are
preferred facing Bottlebrush Ave to interface with the existing residential uses to the north.

New development and high quality design is encouraged by Council to maximise activity along a
primary street frontage of Sunshine Beach Rd and Noosa Drive with mixed use developments, which
include housing diversity (small dwelling units).

Noosa Heads Local Plan Code

        (j) Noosa Junction functions as a major activity centre providing a range of goods and
        services for residents and visitors in a predominantly multi-tenancy ‘main street’ form with a
        strong relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces...

Major Centre Zone Code

        (i) Higher density living in mixed- use developments provide for diversity in housing choice,
        reduced commuting pressures and create activated streets in a safe environment with
        opportunities for both day and night time casual surveillance.

        (l) Development creates vibrant and safe activity centres, with attractive and functional
        buildings and streets with integrated high amenity landscaping, open space and public
        places.

        (p) Development is well designed reflecting a subtropical; 'Noosa' style with emphasis on
        indoor and outdoor connections, variety in façade treatment through articulation and
        materials, creation of shade on public spaces and landscaping around sites and on
        buildings…

The site is also designated as
‘Key Corner’ as per the Noosa
Junction Framework and
Character Plan. Key Corners
are defined as sites that make
(or have the potential to
make)        a       significant
contribution to the built form
character and experience of
Noosa Junction. Any new
built form should positively
address the corners, be
active and inviting (be
‘friendly’), with roof forms,
windows and door openings
to reflect the character and
orientation.
