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

1.        Introduction
The Noosa District Sports Complex (the Complex) is situated at 31 Butler Street and also fronts McKinnon Drive,
Tewantin. The Complex offers a range of sporting facilities for use by clubs, schools and the community. The
Complex currently caters for softball, pony club, tennis, touch football, netball, rugby league, cricket and a
car club. Read Park, 2 Poinciana Avenue, is located to the east of the Complex and is incorporated into this
study.
A Master Plan was previously prepared for the Complex in 2009. The Noosa Council Sport and Active Recreation
Plan 2018 and subsequent Implementation Plan identified the master planning of the Complex as a high
priority. On this basis, Council has identified the need to review and update the previous master plan for the
Complex.
The aim of this project is:
   to provide a long-term vision for the Complex, identifying what the site should look like and how it should
   function into the future. The master plan considers the next 10-year period from 2020-2030 and guides
   future sports and active recreation infrastructure development and investment, both by Council and the
   clubs through grant applications or club capital investments.

1.1        Project Scope
The master plan is to consider:
      •    The Noosa Sport and Recreation Plan 2018 Vision and
           Principles;
      •    The current configuration, capacity, usage, and
           functionality of the sports complex;
      •    The general community (especially the surrounding
           residents) expectation and needs;
      •    The needs across various sports and recreation users,
           including current and future tenants;
      •    Emerging trends and issues;
      •    Catchment areas and population demographic demands
           (present and future);
      •    Car parking and traffic movement/ management
           requirements;
      •    Relevant planning constraints and opportunities, including environmental, flood immunity, land
           zonings, DA requirements etc;
      •    Current and proposed tenure arrangements;
      •    Opportunities for sustainable facility outcomes;
      •    The realities of the economic, social, environmental and legislative context of the time; and
