Planning Report - Sunshine Beach Surf Club · MCU17/0024.04

The proposed other change is assessed against the current Noosa Plan 2020 below.

8.2 Strategic Outcomes

In addition to demonstrating compliance with the relevant assessment benchmarks of the Noosa
Plan 2020, it is important to show how the proposal aligns with the higher-order policy direction
of the planning scheme. The Strategic Framework sets out the Shire’s long-term vision to 2041 and
provides the overarching intent that guides all development within Noosa.

The proposed extension to the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club for Emergency Services –
additional equipment storage, responds directly to these strategic themes by enhancing
community wellbeing, protecting environmental values, improving accessibility and safety, and
supporting a resilient local economy.

The following section outlines this alignment in detail.

The following Strategic Outcomes are relevant to the proposal –

3.3.2 Community Wellbeing

The strategic outcomes for community wellbeing by 2041 are:

(c)     Noosa Shire has an inclusive community of older people, families, children, young adults and
        other households.

(d)     Local employment, housing, entertainment, services and facilities are provided to meet the
        needs of all generations.

(h)     A wide variety of spaces and services provide for health and wellness, sport and recreation,
        education, creative arts, social interaction and spiritual growth. New and upgraded facilities
        are designed to maximise accessibility and flexibility to adopt to changing needs.

(o)     Residential amenity, safety, sense of community and belonging are maintained.

3.3.4 Biodiversity and Environment

(t)     Development avoids adverse impacts on natural coastal processes, resources and values,
        and maintains the ability of coastal areas to naturally fluctuate without the need for
        management or protection.

(u)     Landscape design and replacement plantings on public and private land utilise native
        vegetation to provide habitat for flora and fauna.
