        Major Centre Zone Code
Under the Noosa Plan 2020 the site is in the Major Centre Zone. Pursuant to Part 6.4.1.2 of the Scheme, the
purpose and overall outcomes of the Zone that specifically relate to the site are listed as follows:

    •   The major centres of Noosa Business Centre and Noosa Junction are the most significant centres for the Noosa
        Shire. These major centres service subregional catchments with complementary, not competing roles and
        functions thereby not compromising the viability of each centre.

    •   Development complements the higher order services at the principal regional activity centre at Maroochydore;
        which is the focal point for employment and services on the Sunshine Coast, with provision of high-order retail
        and hospitality functions and cultural and entertainment facilities catering to local and more distant communities,
        including the Noosa community.


    •   Major centres contain the highest order of community, retail and commercial functions including entertainment
        and business activities, as well as transport services in Noosa Shire.


    •   Major centres contribute to a diversified local economy and provide key employment opportunities through a
        range of higher order commercial and enterprise activities in addition to core retail outlets that are founded on
        the needs of Noosa Shire

    •   Development is located and designed to maximise activity along a primary street frontage and maintain a
        human scale and pedestrian focus at street level. Development located in:
                       1. Noosa Business Centre, incorporates a contemporary main street character and
                            pedestrian scale of development with activated street frontages as a key feature of the
                            Village mixed use precinct; and
                       2. Noosa Junction maintains and enhances the existing traditional main street character by
                            contributing to the established development form throughout the centre;

Comment

Code. The proposal is to establish a gym within an existing building which is currently occupied by a similar
niche health and wellbeing tenant. The use of the building for this purpose is in line with the Noosa Junction
