PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                          7 FEBRUARY 2017


Submission in response to ShapingSEQ
Generally ShapingSEQ provides a suitable framework in support of continued planning and
development for Noosa Shire. All the main strategies are relevant to progressing this region. It is
still appropriate for Noosa Council to make a submission to the Queensland Government about
ShapingSEQ.
A draft submission is attached to this report and addresses the following issues-
    General support to ShapingSEQ;
    Concern about the potential reductions to the inter-urban break between Sunshine Coast
      and Moreton Bay regions;
    A more appropriate assessment of the split of future dwelling numbers in ‘infill’ and
      ‘greenfield’ locations in Noosa Shire;
    Requesting clarification of the employment projections relative to the population
      projections;
    The absence of any areas designated Strategic Environmental Areas;
    Omission of Fish Habitat Reserves in the Noosa River;
    The submission from CSR Building Products Limited about their landholding at Lake
      Macdonald Drive, Cooroy;
    The submission from Halcyon about a proposed retirement village on land in Emu
      Mountain Road, Peregian Beach; and
    Acknowledging existing trails in the northern sub-region.

further development of land outside the urban footprint.
