11   PUBLIC QUESTION TIME

     1      BRIAN O’CONNOR
            Question 1:
            The Noosa Plan 2020 contains a Pomona Framework and Character Plan indicating
            streetscape and connectivity element such as landscaping, walkways and cycleways as
            well as beautification and landscaping also possible locations for so called 'entrance
            statements' and so I ask ... "What is the status of this plan in terms of Council's
            commitment to it and implementation of planning to bring it to fruition?'
            Response by Anthony Dow, Acting Director Environment & Sustainable
            Development:
            The Noosa Plan 2020 sets out Council's intention for future development in the Shire
            and has been prepared with a 20 year horizon.
            The Framework and Character Plans included in the Noosa Plan 2020 are strategic
            concept plans which provide guidance for developments to enhance and improve key
            character features within villages and town centres.
            Should any development be proposed on a site subject to a Character and Framework
            Plan, it would be required to incorporate and be generally consistent with these plans
            and deliver the character outcomes required.
            Should Council plan any future streetscape or landscape planting in these areas, subject
            to resourcing in the horizon of the planning scheme, then these plans provide guidance
            to Council in terms of character outcomes for the locality. They are indicative and provide
            guidance to any future development or any planned Council works, but are not a
            commitment as such. Council reviews its capital commitments each year as part of the
            budget process.
