                  a) Medium density residential neighbourhoods are predominantly home to permanent residents.
                  b) The character of medium density residential neighbourhoods varies due to factors such as proximity
                     to beaches, the Noosa River, recreation spaces, centres, topography, availability of views, the
                     established vegetated character, the presence of visitor accommodation and the age of development.
                  c) Development makes a positive contribution to the look and feel of residential neighbourhoods by
                     maintaining a low scale character with well designed buildings and landscaping that enhance the
                     streetscape.
                  d) New uses are located, designed and managed to be compatible with surrounding uses.
                  e) The intrusion of incompatible uses, or uses which are more appropriately accommodated in other
                     zones is avoided to protect land for dual occupancies, community residences, rooming
                     accommodation, multiple dwellings, retirement and relocatable home park facilities.
                  f) Development caters for both the current and projected demographic and socio-economic profile of
                     the area, including one and two-person households, households on low to moderate incomes and
                     residents with reduced mobility.
                  g) Small dwellings and co-housing models are integrated within the medium density residential built
                     form to increase housing choice.

Performance outcome PO1, within Table 6.3.2.3 - Criteria for assessment of the Medium Density Residential code,
provides:

          PO1 Development provides for medium density dual occupancy and multiple dwellings in a range of dwelling sizes
          and styles, which meet the needs of current and future resident populations including small households, older
          persons, people on low incomes and people with special mobility needs.

Performance outcome PO7 of the Medium Density Residential code provides a more fine-grained local planning intent for
Peregian Beach. It states:

          Peregian Beach
          PO7
          Offices and health care services are allowed for in conjunction with small dwellings in a mixed use format on
          premises located on the western side of David Low Way (street numbers 233-245), Peregian Beach, on land
          described as Lots 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 22 P9315 and all lots on BUP9496.

(Author’s emphasis added in bold-type).

Notwithstanding the general planning intent, which supports medium density residential uses within the Medium Density
Residential zone, it is clear that the detailed local planning intent expressed in Performance Outcome (PO7), and which
specifically applies to 7 small lots on the western side of David Low Way including the subject site, allows for Offices and
Health care services, where provided in a mixed use format. See Figure 1 below.
