7.3.12     INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES

The Infrastructure and Services DEO is addressed as follows:

The efficient provision and use of services such as water, sewerage, power, telecommunications
and waste disposal caters for the needs of residents and visitors, relative to their location within
Noosa Shire by -
    i.  ensuring the ongoing viability of existing infrastructure services and facilities are
        protected from the impacts of development;
   ii.  protecting existing and future bulk water infrastructure and corridors from development
 iii.   and the encroachment of sensitive uses that would compromise the corridor integrity and
        the efficient delivery and functioning of the infrastructure;
 iv.    maintaining an appropriate level of infrastructure and servicing to coastal urban residents
        and visitors including power, telecommunications, garbage collection and potable water;
   v.   employing innovative, environmentally sensitive approaches to water collection and
        effluent disposal to rural households not connected to reticulated water or sewerage;
 vi.    encouraging recycling of refuse;
 vii.   ensuring telecommunication infrastructure allows people to work and study from home
        and access goods and services over the internet;
viii.   telecommunication towers and other installations not locating in visually prominent
        locations;
  ix.   recognising some residents obtain their energy needs from renewable energy sources
        rather than relying on mains power; and
   x.   ensuring water and energy are used efficiently in an attempt to reduce greenhouse gas
        emissions and pressures on the supply of resources.

Comment: The proposed development can be connected to all essential urban infrastructure
networks. The proposal represents infill development and will maximise the efficient use of
existing infrastructure. The proposal represents infill development within close proximity to a
variety of services, facilities and infrastructure in accordance with sound town planning principles.
