Noosa Design Principles
The Noosa Design Principles are used to guide good design that befits Noosa’s character, style
and climate. These principles emphasise the importance of protecting Noosa’s environment and
biodiversity by minimising the visual and environmental impact and dominance of the built
environment on the natural environment. They seek to enhance Noosa’s natural ‘look and feel’ and
sense of community by integrating the natural and built environment, viewing natural elements as
opportunities rather than obstacles, and involving the community. The design principles inform the
development and updates to design standards for beach infrastructure, including viewing points.
