    Connection of the new internal road to an east-west road north of the rugby league fields
      and clubhouse which will provide for a through road from the northern (McKinnon Drive)
      entrance of the complex to the Butler St entrance, maximising car parking across the
      complex and reducing vehicle congestion in peak times.

    Installation of a cycle/pedestrian network through the complex that connects with existing
      off road and on-road pedestrian/cycle infrastructure external of the complex.
    Clubhouse upgrades to maximise female participation, community use and functionality
      while increasing efficient use of natural resources (including water harvesting, solar panels
      etc.)
    Relocation of the Noosa Navy Cadets and repurposing of the building to accommodate
      community sporting needs.
    Playing field upgrades and new infrastructure to improve functionality, including installation
