2020-07-16 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 4 - Final Noosa Plan 2020 Part 7

        (q)   Development in the local plan area is supported by an extensive network of open space and passive recreation
              opportunities offered by the foreshore parks, reserves and Noosa National Parks. A buffer between urban development and
              Noosa National Park facilitates regular fire fuel reduction burning.
        (r)   Girraween Estate in the north west of the local plan area provides a range of regional recreational and community facilities
              including sporting ovals, schools, aquatic centre, churches and indoor sports and recreation for the local plan area. These
              facilities serve much of the Noosa coastal urban area.
        (s)   Surf club facilities located at Sunshine Beach and Peregian Beach are retained and continue to provide organised sporting,
              recreational, patrolled beach/life­saving, entertainment and community support to the local plan area. Redevelopment or
              additional development at either site does not extend further seaward, is consistent with the respective primary patrolled
              beach/life­saving function of the club, and does not compromise its respective landscape and ecological setting nor its
              future resilience to the impacts of coastal erosion and long term beach recession.
        (t)   The local plan area enjoys moderate to high levels of accessibility to Coolum in the South and Noosa Heads in the north.
              Eenie Creek Road provides high accessibility for the northern part of the local plan area to Noosaville and Tewantin. These
              accessibility levels are to be maintained and traffic generation of any individual development, or cumulative generation, and
              impacts, do not compromise these levels of accessibility.
        (u)   Development facilitates safe and convenient pedestrian and cycle connections between and around key destinations within
              the local plan area. Access to the foredune and beachfront area is provided via formalised communal access points
              designed to protect dune systems and not individual private accesses.
        (v)   Development in Sunshine Beach –
              (i)     provides housing, multi­unit accommodation and small scale retail, commercial and dining uses in a secluded
                      vegetated, beachside setting.
              (ii)    has a comparatively high proportion of multi­unit accommodation for both visitors and residents;
              (iii)   for visitor accommodation is managed appropriately so as not to reduce the amenity of the surrounding permanent
                      residents and to retain and adequate supply of permanent housing in the local plan area;
              (iv)    in the Tourist accommodation zone provides well­designed entertainment and dining activities which may operate
                      after hours and include controlled live acoustic and amplified music and entertainment, to create a vibrant
                      atmosphere.
              (v)     adjacent to beach areas does not visually compromise the setting of the public beach, nor adversely affect views for
                      the beach.

        (w)   Development in Sunrise Beach –
              (i)     provides a high proportion of detached houses and some multi­unit accommodation for permanent residents
                      including families.
              (ii)    provides a mix of commercial and community uses including convenience shopping, schools, other community
                      facilities located in Ben Lexcen Drive serving the convenience needs of residents;
              (iii)   ensures higher order services locate in the local centre of Peregian Beach, or the district centres of Noosa Junction
                      and Noosaville.

        (x)   Development in Castaways Beach –
              (i)     provides predominantly detached housing for permanent residents.
              (ii)    contains no commercial or retail uses– a feature recognised as being an important element of local character.

        (y)   Development in Marcus Beach –
              (i)     provides housing, predominantly for permanent residents, in a secluded vegetated setting.
              (ii)    maintains and accentuates its low density beachside character by retaining mature vegetation, and curvilinear
                      streets enclosed by undulating topography and the adjoining dune system.
              (iii)   maintains the established beachside character which is integrated with the low dunes and their vegetation, framed
                      and enclosed by the high dune system which forms the only substantial break in the linear pattern of development
                      between Sunshine Beach to the north and Peregian Beach to the south.
              (iv)    contains no commercial or retail uses – a feature recognised as being an important element of local character.

        (z)   Development in Peregian Beach –
              (i)     provides local convenience shopping, business and employment services, for both permanent residents and
                      visitors.
              (ii)    provides multi­unit accommodation located in close proximity to the Peregian Beach Local Centre.
