The constraints that have influenced the

considerations made in Map 2.2 have included:
* Flooding;

e Presence of acid sulphate soils;

e Ecological corridors;

e Proximity of potential development areas to
Fenie Creek;

e Environmental drainage corridors;
« Potential elf skink habitat; and
e The jocation of the Noosa Airport.

For those areas that suffer significant constraint,
there are major influences for the development of the
site. Desirably, these areas should be left in their
natural state. For those other areas suffering
constraint, their influences are not as significant,
however there may be restrictions on the type or

 

scale of activity that can be supported in these areas.

As part of the review of the Montbar application,
Noosa Council obtained advice from various
consultants. This Master Plan draws from that advice
and particularly that contained in:

* Survey of Noosa Shire Retailers (Urban
Economics, 2000a); and

e {ndependent Review of the Strategic Plan
Provisions relating to the Noosa Shire Business
Centre (Urban Economics, 2000b).

CONSULTANT ADVICE

A HAShire Business Centre\WSC MasterPlan\Master Plan.doc

Section 19.3.1.6 of the Strategic Pian requires that
the master plan will be prepared in consultation with
relevant stakeholders including the developer, Noosa
Council, State Government agencies and the local
design community and the key stakeholders. It will
also include consultation with the general
community.

in early 1999, Montbar Pty Ltd approached Noosa
Counci} for advice on Section 19.3.1.6. Noosa
Council gave consideration to the process for
consultation that should be followed and protocols
and guiding principles were established (Council
Decision 15/04/1999). Consultation was to be
managed via a series of reference groups”:

e Design Reference Group;
e« Business Reference Group;
« Community Reference Group; and

« State Agency Reference Group.

This process commenced and continued until Spring
4999, when representatives of Montbar advised that
an application would be lodged. Up until lodgement
of the application, the reference groups (including
Noosa Council representatives} had access fo most,
but not all of that material accompanying the Montbar
application referenced as Baseline Reports.

From the Montbar application itself, the reference
groups had not had access to:

a. The various impact assessment reports;

b. The Noosa Shire Business Centre MasterPlan;
and

c. The Material Change of Use Planning Report.

The process of consultation in the development of a
master pian initiated via Council’s decision of
15/04/1999 remains incomplete. Therefore the
master plan accompanying the Monibar development
application does not fulfil the requirements of Section
19.3.1.6 of the Strategic Plan.

4 The appendix at Section 6 on page 26 identifies
membership of the various reference groups.
