Unitywater Noosa Netserv Plan - Planning Assumptions · Attachment 1 - Draft Technical Note on Noosa Shire Netserv Plan Planning Assumptions

                                                    l   Noosa Netserv Plan Planning Assumptions June 2024




6. Consistency with SEQ Regional Plan
Under Chapter 4B Part 1 Section 99BK of the South-East Queensland Water (Distribution
and Retail Restructuring) Act 2009 Unitywater’s Netserv Plan planning assumptions must be
consistent with the SEQ regional plan (Shaping SEQ).

Table 6 below addresses how the Netserv Plan planning assumptions for the Noosa area
are consistent with relevant matters within the SEQ Regional Plan.

 Goal 1: Grow
 Element 1: Efficient        •   Unitywater’s planning assumptions support the
 Land Use                        servicing of development under the Noosa planning
                                 scheme, approved development, and future
                                 development within the Urban Footprint.
                             •   Future redevelopment areas consider locations
                                 which are not currently zoned for development but
                                 are within the Urban Footprint (e.g. rural zones).
                                 Additionally, locations where spare capacity exists in
                                 water and sewer infrastructure, or existing networks
                                 can be cost-effectively augmented or when existing
                                 development is not the highest and best use of land
                                 that can fully utilise the capacity of existing and
                                 planned infrastructure (water, sewer, transport).
                             •   The 2021 consolidation/expansion dwelling ratio is
                                 72/28. By 2046, the consolidation/expansion
                                 dwelling growth ratio based upon the Netserv Plan
                                 planning assumptions and the same existing urban
                                 area extent is 71/29. This achieves ShapingSEQ’s
                                 preferred 70/30 of total dwelling composition.
                             •   Of the 5,467 additional dwellings by 2046, 3,393
                                 (62%) are consolidation and 2,074 (38%) are
                                 expansion. This growth maintains the 60/40
                                 consolidation expansion dwelling growth ratio
                                 outlined in ShapingSEQ.
                             •   The Netserv Plan planning assumptions utilise land
                                 available for development within the Urban Footprint
                                 based upon the Noosa Planning Scheme, approved
                                 development, any applicable structure plans or
                                 master plans.
                             •   The location of growth within the Netserv Plan
                                 planning assumptions consider the proximity to
                                 existing infrastructure and plans for service future
                                 development areas. Refer to Section 3.10
                             •   Netserv Plan density assumptions exceed Shaping
                                 SEQ net residential densities. Refer to Appendix 2.
