REPORT

The purpose of this report is to seek endorsement of the Cooroy Sports Complex Master Plan.

1                        Background

The Noosa Sport and Active Recreation Plan 2018 recommended, as a short term priority, the
development of a Master Plan over the Cooroy Sports Complex.

The Cooroy Sports Complex located at 35 Mary River Rd, Cooroy (lot plan 157MCH4833,
229SP246604, 204MCH976 and 1SP246688) and Marara St (lot plan 1SP242414), is a multi-
sport complex, housing six community sporting groups and the Cooroy RV site (managed by the
Cooroy Chamber of Commerce). The combined membership of the sporting clubs at this site is
estimated to be approximately 1,300. The land ownership of the properties within the scope of
the Draft Cooroy Sports Complex Master Plan is a mix of:
    State Owned land directly leased to the user group;
    State Reserve for Recreation with Council as Trustee;
    Council freehold; and
    Council under a Nomination of Trust.

A previous Master Plan for the Cooroy Sports Complex was endorsed by Noosa Council in 2007.

In 2019, Otium Planning Group was engaged by Council to develop a Master Plan this site.

The scope of the Master Plan was to consider:
   The Noosa Sport and Active Recreation Plan 2018 Vision and Principles;
   The current configuration, capacity, usage and functionality of the sites;
   The general community (especially the surrounding residents) expectations and needs;
