                     Noosa Plan 2020 2.0 References:
                        • Strategic Framework (Part 3): Completely disregarding the broad vision for the Shire,
                          including maintaining community safety and managing transport impacts.
                                 o Part 3, Strategic Framework. The objective of ensuring the safety and efficiency
                                   of the road network for all users, particularly in low-density residential areas.
                                   "Address peak time traffic congestion by reducing traffic rather than increasing
                                   road capacity".
                        • Transport and Parking Code (Part 9, Development Codes): This code specifically
                          addresses traffic management and safety for new developments.
                                 o Part 9, Development Codes and Schedule 6, Planning Scheme Policies.
                                   Development should not have "significant adverse impacts on the traffic
                                   network" or "local streets in the neighbourhood of the development".
                                 o A Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) report is required to assess the "traffic
                                   generation and movements" and its effect on the capacity of the local road
                                   system, including "key nearby intersections". Concerns about increased vehicles
                                   on a no-through road and during emergencies are valid points covered by this
                                   requirement.

                        • Risk and Resilience (Part 8, Overlays, and supporting policies):

                                 o Part 8, Overlays.

                                 o Emergency access and evacuation in a potential natural disaster (e.g., bushfire,
                                   flood - relevant for QLD) are material risks that should be considered under the
                                   scheme's provisions for natural hazards. The safety issue of "double the vehicles
                                   trying to exit from one exit" during an emergency is a significant planning fail.

                       2. Distance to Shops

                     Coast2Bay have applied incorrectly stating distance to local services. They have referenced
                 the “grocery access” being within distance required for this development and this is in
                 reference to a Bakery and a Subway. The closest shop for essential groceries is IGA which is
                 approximately 1.6 km walking distance crossing major roadways and a train bridge. The
                 Coast2Bay application is referencing the centre zone, but ignoring the real purpose of the plan,
                 which is to provide residents with reasonable and safe access to essential services.

                 Services.
