     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”.
•    Section 6.4.1.2(2)(b) – “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”.
•    Section 6.4.1.2(2)(c) – “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”.
•    Section 6.4.1.2(2)(d) – “Development does not compromise the hierarchy of centres
     across the Noosa Shire, whether as a result of the impacts from individual
     developments or the potential cumulative impacts of multiple developments”.

     shopping centres, full-line supermarkets, specialty retail shops, food and drink
     outlets such as cafes and restaurants, personal services, local offices and a range

     retail than Noosa Junction with a shopping centre anchored by a single full­size
     discount department store and a full line supermarket. Complementary retail uses
     include large format retail showrooms and a separate small format supermarket.
