2020-01-13 GC Agenda - Item 6 - Attachment 1 - Noosa District Sports Complex Master Plan

 Aspect                             Detail
 Access arrangements and               • The main Complex site has 4 separate entry points, 2 of these are
 possible conflicts (car,                  vehicular
 bike, bus, pedestrian and             • Limited areas for parking, with limited formal bitumen parking areas
 linkages).                            • Internal road separates football and touch grounds, causing significant
 Car parking (location,                    pedestrian/ vehicle conflict during match days compounded by dead
 numbers, constraints/                     end at north with limited/ no turning circle during peak usage times
 opportunities and internal                (due to informal car parking along road and grass areas)
 movement).                            • Middle entry exit point is pedestrian only
                                       • Read Park has one main vehicular entry to a formalised car park, with
                                           good road frontage (along two boundaries) allowing pedestrian access
                                           along these frontages

 Drainage, stormwater &                  •    No easements
 hydrology.                              •    2 x manholes
                                         •    Significant stormwater infrastructure surrounding the main rugby league
                                              and touch fields; clubs reporting sink holes on the eastern side of the
                                              fields

 CPTED principles.                  Site is bounded with fringing vegetation which provides high quality internal site
                                    amenity, the vegetation needs to be managed or other mitigation introduced
                                    (lighting, wayfinding etc) for public safety.


In order to consider relocating the internal roadway (from Butler Street) and the incorporation of an internal
road loop/ connection to the vehicle entry at McKinnon Drive; an arborist assessment was completed to
determine significance of trees that would be affected by relocated roadway and optimised field locations.
These assessments were completed on:
    •    Trees along the fields/ roadway running north-south between the rugby league and touch fields
    •    Trees between rugby league, cricket and tennis, for a possible road connection running east-west.

The findings of these assessments and the
Council perspective is that these trees
have low retention value; however,
consideration be given to off-set planting
within the Complex, particularly seeking
more suitable shade species in appropriate
locations within the Complex.
