2019-11-12 S&O Agenda - Item 8 - Attachment 1 - Draft Cooroy Sports Complex Master Plan

1.       Introduction
The Cooroy Sports Complex (the Complex) is situated on Mary River Road to the north-west of the Cooroy
town centre and offers a range of sporting facilities for use by clubs, schools and the community. The facility
currently caters for pony club, gymnastics, soccer, junior rugby league, cricket, car club events and
overnight camping (self-contained recreation vehicles).

A Master Plan was previously prepared for the Complex in 2007. The Noosa Council Sport and Active
Recreation Plan 2018 and subsequent Implementation Plan identified the master planning of the Complex as
a high priority. On this basis, Council has identified the need to review and update the previous master plan
for the Complex.

The aim of this project is:
   to provide a long-term vision for the Complex, identifying what the site should look like and how it
   should function into the future. The master plan considers the next 10-year period from 2020-2030 and
   guides future sports infrastructure development and investment both by Council and the clubs through
   grant applications or club capital investments.

Project Scope
The master plan is to consider:
     •   The Noosa Sport and Recreation Plan 2018 Vision and
         Principles;
     •   The current configuration, capacity, usage, and
         functionality of the sports complex;
     •   The general community (especially the surrounding
         residents) expectation and needs;
     •   The needs across various sports and recreation users,
         including current and future tenants;
     •   Emerging trends and issues;
     •   Catchment areas and population demographic
         demands (present and future);
     •   Car parking and traffic movement/ management requirements;
     •   Relevant planning constraints and opportunities, including environmental, flood immunity, land
         zonings, DA requirements etc;
     •   Current and proposed tenure arrangements;
     •   Opportunities for sustainable facility outcomes;
     •   The realities of the economic, social, environmental and legislative context of the time; and
     •   Grant opportunities for the implementation and funding of recommendations.
