2.3.7    Residential Development Strategy for Noosa Shire, 2007
The 2007 Residential Development Strategy for Noosa Shire Council area examines population
and household characteristics, and investigates options for the future.

The Strategy notes that the SEQ Regional Plan 2005 sought an additional 4,200 dwellings (2,500
infill dwellings and 1,700 greenfield dwellings) in Noosa Shire by 2026. Population projections for
Noosa Shire Council area at the time suggested a 2026 population of approximately 58,230
residents.

Desired residential outcomes included that residential development:

       Occurs on land which is suited for the intended form of subdivision, the development of
        residential buildings and the occupation and use of the building and site by the residents;
       Occurs on land which is not located in the vicinity of land uses which would adversely
        impact the occupation and use of buildings and the site by the residents; or which would
        result in the residential development preventing or inhibiting the conduct of existing land
        uses;
       Is designed within the planned capacities of roads, community services and infrastructure;
       Is consistent with the developed character of its particular neighbourhood;
       Is conveniently located in relation to urban services;
       Is energy efficient, with siting and design consistent with climatic conditions;
       Is water efficient, with rainwater captured and reused on site;
       Adopts water sensitive urban design measures in new subdivisions and large
        developments;
       Is accessible and comfortable for residents of all ages and with various physical needs;
       Has appropriate levels of safety and security for the occupants;
       Is adequately serviced in a timely, cost effective, coordinated and efficient manner;
       Incorporates a design and density which integrates with the urban and landscape fabric of
        its particular locality;
