GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                            14 MAY 2018


Risks & Opportunities
There are no risks identified with this proposed policy. The application of this policy is at the
discretion of Council. Reintroducing this form of policy is seen as an important opportunity to
provide a formal mechanism for facilitating developer contributions in lieu of the provision of
onsite car parking. For smaller sites in centres this is a particularly important alternative
development outcome.
Consultation
External Consultation - Community & Stakeholder
Noosa Junction business community representatives and two local planning consultants have
been engaged about the need for the policy. The response was clearly in support plus the
contribution system ought to be part of a holistic approach to transport particularly for those
centres where access and parking can be problematic at peak times.
Internal Consultation
This project was supported by a working group of staff from Strategic Land Use Planning,
Development Assessment and Infrastructure Planning.
Advice was sought from Governance staff about the development of a corporate policy pursuant
to Council’s Policy Framework Guidelines July 2014.
