Town Planning Report - Final April 2016

                                                                15024 – Noosa Council April 2016

open space area is also subject to detail design and is ongoing matter for the Council.

The key elements of the Master Plan include retaining approximately 4,300m² of public
open space on the former Peregian Bowls Club site, a two storey 750m² IT Enterprise
Building containing a Digital Hub, additional car parking in Rufous Street and enhanced
pedestrian linkages to the Peregian Village.
