Planning Report - Sunshine Beach Surf Club · MCU17/0024.04

Landscape treatments also assist in integrating the new structure with existing facilities and
parkland

Access, Parking and Public Interface

No changes to public access, vehicle circulation, or parking are proposed. The existing lifeguard
and service driveway will continue to provide controlled access to the equipment storage area.
Public pathways and access to the beach remain unchanged. The proposal maintains clear
sightlines and passive surveillance, ensuring ongoing public safety and amenity

Conclusion

The proposed Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Club extension complies with the Purpose and
Overall Outcomes of the Community Activities Code. It represents a low-impact enhancement to
existing community infrastructure that:

    •   Strengthens the Club’s lifesaving and community service function;

    •   Maintains the coastal village character and amenity;

    •   Respects environmental and residential interfaces; and

    •   Improves operational efficiency for an essential community safety service.

8.8 Works Codes – PO / AO Summary

The proposal has been reviewed against the relevant Works Codes of the Noosa Plan 2020. Given
the limited scale of the proposed works, and their integration with existing club and park
infrastructure, a full code table assessment has not been prepared. The following provides a
summary of relevant considerations.

Driveways and Access

The proposed development utilises the existing internal access arrangements that currently
service the Surf Life Saving Club and adjoining Council infrastructure within Ed Webb Park.
No new driveway crossovers or vehicle connections to the public road network are proposed.

Operational access for surf lifesaving vehicles and emergency response purposes will continue via
the existing shared accessway, which also connects to the Council pathway network.

This arrangement satisfies the intent of the Driveways and Access Code by providing safe,
efficient, and practical access for operational needs while maintaining public pedestrian safety
and amenity.

Stormwater Management

All roof and hardstand runoff from the proposed building will be directed to Council’s existing
stormwater drainage infrastructure within Ed Webb Park.

The quantity and quality of stormwater discharge are expected to remain consistent with current
conditions, and the system will be designed in accordance with Council’s Engineering Design

Guidelines to prevent erosion or scour within the adjacent dune system.
