Foresight

parthers:

The intent of the Business Centres is to accommodate some commercial and retail infill
within the Business Zone to service the surrounding population but not to the extent that
they, individually or cumulatively, would adversely affect the viability, vitality or Shire
Business Centre roles of the Noosa Business Centre .

Noosa’s network of Neighbourhood and Village Centres consists of smaller centres
catering to the convenience retail needs of neighbourhoods and local areas.

The scheme also includes Visitor Mixed Use Zones at Hastings Street, Noosa Heads;
Gympie Terrace, Noosaville; Duke Street at Sunshine Beach; and Heron Street at
Peregian Beach. These centres also contribute significantly to retail and hospitality
employment.

Peregian Beach sits at the southern end of the Eastern Beaches zone of The Noosa Plan,
(see Zone Map ZM4 in Appendix B) and is identified as a Neighbourhood Centre.
Peregian Beach provides the local shopping functions for Peregian Beach, Marcus Beach
and Castaways Beach. These areas are less convenient to facilities at Peregian Springs,
Noosa Junction, Noosa Heads and Coolum Beach. A wide range of local retail,
commercial and entertainment and dining uses within the neighbourhood centre serve the
immediate needs of residents and visitors of the locality.

The proposed shopping centre, with a lettable area of 1,844m*, (1,900m? gross floor
area), would be classified as a small neighbourhood centre.

2.2 Existing Centres

This section sets out a brief description of the centres and retail areas most relevant to the
market prospects and potential impacts of the proposed development in Peregian Beach.
The relevant areas include the localities within the Eastern Beaches Zone (Peregian
Beach, Peregian Springs, and the small beachside localities of Sunrise and Sunshine
Beach), Coolum Beach and the Noosa area.

There are a number of small neighbourhood retail centres and nodes servicing the
Eastern Beaches area. Figure 3.1 shows the locations of the large and small centres in
and near the proposed shopping centre’s trade area. Although Noosa Civic and other
larger centres further afield are shown, these would have little bearing on the retail
prospects and tenancy options for the proposed development.

Table 2.1 summarises existing and proposed supermarkets and grocery stores within
approximately 20 kilometers of Peregian Beach.
