SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                   12 MARCH 2019


Key recommendations for a regional facility for aviation include:
 The designation of the Tin Can Bay Model Flying Club airfield as the proposed regional
   facility to cater for regional level aviation events and activities; and
 The retention of a range of existing facilities to support gliding, small aircraft and Ultra-Light
   participants.

Key recommendations for a regional facility for motor cycling include:
 Continue short-medium term operation of the Coolum Pines Motocross facility and investigate
   alternative site for development of a regional motocross competition facility; and
 Investigating a new site as a potential “Northern SEQ” recreational riding site facility.

Key recommendations for a regional facility for motorised water sports include:
 The nomination of Lake Kurwongbah as a SEQ regional competitive water skiing and
   wakeboarding facility.

Key recommendations for a regional facility for shooting sports include:
 The development of any regional shooting facilities must be complementary to the regional
   and State facilities already provided at Belmont Shooting Complex i.e. only disciplines not
   catered for at Belmont should be considered for the new or expanded regional facilities within
   the three local government areas.
 Retention of Cooloolabin Range and Davison Range as suitable facilities for a host of
   regional and potentially state level short-range disciplines
 Noosa and Sunshine Coast Regional Council support Gympie Council and the State
   government in their efforts to secure a suitable single integrated site for a new shooting
   facility enabling co-location of Gympie-based clubs, as well as the designation of a site within
   an industrial area in Gympie for the development of an indoor pistol range.

4.     Implications for Noosa Council areas

There are no new proposed developments for the Noosa Shire area in the draft Plan. However
the Regional Facilities Plan will not be achieved without the collaboration of the three Councils in
the study area. It will also require the three Councils to work with the State Government,
community and private sector organisations to deliver facilities that meet the sports’
specifications and relevant planning scheme requirements across the Region.
