CHOOSING FUTURES: Shire Business Centre Master Plan - Stage 2                                                                 19


4.0 MASTER PLAN OUTCOMES: STAGE 2
           In this section, the master planning outcomes for Stage 2 are described. These outcomes have been derived
           from the master planning outcomes for Stage 1 and then further refined by Stage 2.
4.1        MP2 PLAN
           MP2 Stage 2 plan is derived from the simple concepts provided in Figure 3.1 and Figure 3.2. It provides a more
           detailed plan for the site and the roads about the site. An A3 version is found at the end of this document.

           MP2 Stage 2 plan contains considerably more design detail than MP1. This plan together with MP1 meet the
           requirements of the Strategic Plan and the development principles established in Section 3. Boundaries between
           precincts, areas of precincts and the location of proposed roads and intersections have been refined from the
           Stage 1 Master Plan but they are still conceptual to a degree. Final boundaries will be determined in conjunction
           with decision-making on appropriate development applications.
4.2        COMPONENTS OF THE MP2 PLAN
           Table 4.1 shows the elements indicated on MP2 Plan including their map object number, primary function,
           secondary function and area. The primary and secondary functions are intended to indicate the dominant
           activities within precincts and sub-precincts. The precincts and sub-precincts are not intended to define discrete
           boundaries for the various functions, however the control of the scale of some of these functions will be of
           importance.
           MP2 Plan and Table 4.1 contain the following elements:
           a.         A Business Precinct comprising a total of 3 sub-precincts totalling 12.1 hectares and allocated for future
                      business growth areas of Noosa Shire. The Business Precinct would include the highest order of retail
                      development in the Shire and significant vehicle parking.
           b.         An Employment Precinct comprising a total of 7 sub-precincts totalling 20.0 hectares and allocated for
                      future employment growth. The Employment Precinct includes 3 sub-precincts with preferred themes. The
                      themes are not mandatory and the intent is to allow these sub-precincts to take advantage of new
                      employment opportunities, as and when they arise.
           c.         An Open Space Precinct comprising a total of 7 sub-precincts totalling 29.6 hectares and allocated for a
                      range of open space functions. Some of these functions would see the land left in its natural state with
                      little human use, whilst others would see significant modification to the natural form and significant human
                      use. The Open Space Precinct includes an extensive area that would continue to serve as an ecological
                      corridor along and buffer to Eenie Creek. The open space precinct acknowledges that it is part of a wider
                      open space resource which includes the National Park and Lake Weyba.
           d.         A Residential Precinct comprising 0.7 hectares. The precinct is intended to provide support
                      accommodation to the other key sub-precincts.
           e.         A Civic designation located between the principal retailing precinct and the northern entry road from
                      Walter Hay Drive. Council established a Civic Precinct Working Group to investigate the type of function
                      that Council would consider on the site. The Group reported its findings to Council and nominated the
                      following activities for further assessment -
                                 Central library
                                 Art gallery

                                 Community meeting and gathering spaces
                                 Public art, sculptures and murals
