 Submitter   Submission and Grounds of Submission                                                                                Planners’ Response                                                                                             Recommendation
             Likewise, assuming that everyone living at Black Mountain travels to Cooroy for higher order services (not all
             do), the combined population is 5235 (ABS estimate).
             While the Queensland Government mandates that the Unitywater data be used in the Noosa Plan, some
             further filter/adjustment/analysis is required to assist council officers plan the scale and location of services
             and facilities based on the favoured town accessed by the urban residents of rural towns, as well as the
             'balance of rural' cohort living nearby.
 20867296    It is questionable as to whether the total population targets for Noosa (specified within the DMaTT growth          Council is currently investigating a number of transport related initiatives within the coastal areas of the   That no change be made to the New Noosa Plan as a result of this submission

             Many of the unit development sites close to the beaches, river and amenities are not achieving predicted
             residential yields because of the preference for larger houses and penthouse apartments. This is also               Development forecasts for the proposed New Noosa Plan have been staged over 5 year cohorts and

             (less multi-cultural) and older (semi-retired) community. As a younger person (35) with three kids – I am the       highest level of development capable to ensure infrastructure planning supports the highest level of
             minority. However, we do need to provide for all key demographics – not just more aged care facilities –            growth and development, so there is no shortfall in infrastructure. The New Noosa Plan allows for a
             reinforcing the homogeneous trend.                                                                                  range in housing types catering to a range of housing needs, including small dwellings for singles, small

             Support further initiatives to not build any additional accesses to Noosa Heads. Encourage contributions in
             lieu money to be used for free bus initiatives and better pedestrian and cycling and scooter facilities.

             Alignment proposed is entirely within Council owned land and does not require clearing of any mangroves or
             protected vegetation.
             Cost would be minimal and could include a 3m wide gravel finish, boardwalk or concrete pathway. Council
             promotes the Lake Doonella Lake Ride and parkrun but there is limited connection to the lake on the
             northern side.
             Should not be disregarded on CPTED grounds – there are novel ways of lighting the pathway up at night
             time (like the LEDs in Noosa).
             Pathway connecting Shields St to Doonella St Tewantin needs to be included within the LGIP.
             Finalise the full pathway connection around Lake Doonella including the missing areas around the
             Noosaville Industry and Bushlands Drive connections. This should not be put off for another 5-10 years. This
