Development Assessment Report

Project Urban – 12332                                                                    19 March 2018



Community access for all is provided by a range of safe and efficient transport choices
appropriate to community needs, considering the location of residential uses, community and
shopping facilities, leisure opportunities and employment, by
   i. facilitating access to employment, services, facilities and venues to meet the day to day
      needs of residents including earning a living, mixing with others and forming relationships;
  ii. encouraging people to use transport alternatives other than private car;
 iii. maintaining a road network for Noosa Shire that is low key, with predominantly two lane
      roads and roundabouts, and local streets that are vibrant public spaces;
 iv. minimising adverse environmental impacts from road traffic on the community;
  v. not undertaking road or parking upgrades to accommodate peak traffic and parking loads
      during holiday periods due to the potentially significant impacts on both the natural and
      human-related core values of Noosa Shire;
 vi. ensuring access to carparking does not adversely impact on pedestrian movements,
      particularly in town centres, village centres and business locations;
vii. integrating an accessible network for pedestrian and bicycle movements including the
      provision for equitably shared road space and off-road systems;
viii. providing quality and innovative community transport for its residents and visitors including
      better links between the hinterland and coast; and
 ix. maintaining Noosa River as a low speed visitor transport route, offering an alternative to
      the use of roads and convenient access during special events.

Comment: The site is highly accessible having good access to higher order roads and public
transport infrastructure. The proposal will provide for additional carparking for Good Shepherd
Lutheran College which has existing bus provision. The site has good connections to active
transport infrastructure with an existing pedestrian/cyclist pathway along the site frontages.

6.3.12     INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES

The Infrastructure and Services DEO is as follows:

The efficient provision and use of services such as water, sewerage, power, telecommunications
and waste disposal caters for the needs of residents and visitors, relative to their location within
Noosa Shire by -
    i.  ensuring the ongoing viability of existing infrastructure services and facilities are
        protected from the impacts of development;
   ii.  protecting existing and future bulk water infrastructure and corridors from development
 iii.   and the encroachment of sensitive uses that would compromise the corridor integrity and
        the efficient delivery and functioning of the infrastructure;
 iv.    maintaining an appropriate level of infrastructure and servicing to coastal urban residents
        and visitors including power, telecommunications, garbage collection and potable water;
   v.   employing innovative, environmentally sensitive approaches to water collection and
        effluent disposal to rural households not connected to reticulated water or sewerage;
 vi.    encouraging recycling of refuse;
 vii.   ensuring telecommunication infrastructure allows people to work and study from home
        and access goods and services over the internet;
viii.   telecommunication towers and other installations not locating in visually prominent
        locations;
  ix.   recognising some residents obtain their energy needs from renewable energy sources
        rather than relying on mains power; and
   x.   ensuring water and energy are used efficiently in an attempt to reduce greenhouse gas
        emissions and pressures on the supply of resources.
