2017-06-06 - P&E Agenda Attachment 1 to Item 6 Draft Alignment Amendments Part 1 (Pages 1-907)

Walter Hay Drive, providing access from Eumundi Road, past the Shire Business Centre to Emu
Mountain Road to the south of Noosa;




                                                                                                       The Noosa Plan
                                                                                                                        Including amendments to 3 July 2017
an extension of Gibson Road between Eumundi Road and Lake Doonella; and

a new road connecting Cooroy-Noosa Road with McKinnon Drive.

        c)     The scheme aims to reduce the community impacts of vehicular traffic on main
               roads through built up areas by managing speeds, and minimising conflicts
               between vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.

        d)     The scheme does not attempt to cater for all peak traffic and parking loads but
               provides for a high level of service during non-peak periods.

        e)     Rural roads are aligned with the geography, following contours and ridgelines and
               crossing watercourses in locations that have the least environmental impact. The
               protection of the rural character of roads and roadside vegetation is also important.

        f)     Protection of the views and vistas obtained from the major road network is
               important and controlled through the planning scheme.

        g)     Carparking and driveways do not dominate development and site planning and
               landscaping mitigates the visual impact of vehicle spaces. Carparking provision
               includes both on-street and off-street parking consistent with the character of the
               localities.

        h)     The scheme protects the Noosa Airport in the Noosaville Locality as the only
               commercial airport within Noosa Shire. Commercial operations are limited to light
               aircraft as Brisbane and Sunshine Coast Airports provide for most passenger
               services.

        i)     Railway stations in the rural towns of Cooroy and Pomona and village of Cooran
               provide access to centres outside of Noosa Shire. Buses link coastal parts of
               Noosa with stations at Cooroy and Nambour.

        j)     Haul routes associated with extractive resources–

               iii   are located on roads where the haul route will minimise adverse impacts on
                     residential amenity; and

               iv    are located on roads which are of adequate standard or which may be
                     upgraded as part of the utilisation of the resource; and

               v     are adequately maintained as part of the utilisation of the resource.



             Division 3—Planning scheme structural elements

1.8     Local government area divided into 9 localities
        For the purpose of the assessment and control of development the planning scheme
        divides Noosa Shire into the following 9 geographic localities as shown on Map NPLM.
        The provisions for each locality are contained in a locality plan, which incorporates
        assessment tables and a specific locality code (see Parts 4 to 12 inclusive). The
        following localities are identified on locality zone maps ZM1 to ZM9—

1.8.1   Boreen Point, Kin Kin & Cootharaba Locality;
