Town Planning Report - 22 November 2018 - Final

 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning
 advice”



O93 Intersections, both internal and external to the Shire Business Centre site, are designed to operate
without the need for traffic lights;
AND
O94 An internal loop road is constructed within the Shire Business Centre site linking individual precincts
within the site to provide for efficient and effective traffic circulation and movement, including public
transport access;
AND
O95 Development has an internal focus and addresses the internal loop road and is not reliant on
exposure to the major road network.

The proposed development relies on the existing external roundabouts that have been specifically
designed to operate without traffic lights (O93). The proposed development will complete the internal
loop road system excepting that part of the internal driveway provided with Stage 1 for the existing
‘Noosa Civic’ development. In terms of new development areas, the internal loop road is being
provided generally in accordance with the SBC Map (Figure 2) which provides for efficient and
effective traffic circulation including for public transport (O94). The development will have an internal
focus consistent with existing development within the SBC (O95).

Pedestrian and bike links
O100 Pedestrian and bicycle paths are constructed throughout the Shire Business Centre site, with
appropriate external connections provided;
AND
O101 Pedestrian and bicycle movements between key nodes within the Shire Business Centre site are
designated to minimise the need to cross over roads and where road crossovers are necessary, central
refuges are provided.

Pedestrian and bicycle pathways will be provided as required between key nodes, within the subject
land, subject to detailed design (O100 & O101).

Visual amenity and character
O102 Development -
a) presents a high level of visual quality when viewed from Walter Hay Drive in the area of Eenie Creek;
b) provides an open space feel to this entry to Noosa; and
c) maintains the character of adjacent areas.

The proposed development maintains all environmental covenant areas fronting Walter Hay Drive in
accordance with the SBC Map and will maintain a high level of visual quality, having an open space
feel and the desired natural bushland character consistent with the area.

Development Sequencing
O104 Subsequent development stages provide for the –
a) completion of the access intersections leading into the Shire Business Centre site;
b) completion of further stages of the internal loop road;
c) completion of further stages of development within the precincts;
d) completion of the pedestrian and bikeway network;
