2017-02-07 P&E Agenda Attachment 1 to Item 8 Community Feedback on New Noosa Plan

Submitter               Comments                                                                              Staff Response
                       provide for relaxed dining and are a key part of the identity of Noosa Junction and
                       must be further enhanced and supported by the new planning scheme.

                 38    The Discussion Paper has very broad sweeping statements around infill
                       development at Noosa Junction and unsure this will be effective or achieved with
                       mixed use. The infill strategy will only be effective if some areas and
                       developments are designated permanent residents only.

                 38    Transitional planning and active management of the Junction precinct as an
                       entertainment hub. Need to include the impact to the residents including
                       dislocation and displacement.

            39, 132    Night time activities in the Junction need to have extended hours. Nothing is open
                       past 7pm. Encourage more use of areas. Current rules and regulations around live
                       music venues in tourism, hospitality and retail precincts are too restrictive. The
                       New Noosa Plan should encourage the live music industry in cafes and restaurants
                       in Noosa Junction, Hastings Street, Sunshine and Peregian Beach precincts.

                 39    Bring business and industries together in Noosa Junction to bring more jobs for
                       younger people.

            43, 131    The New Noosa Plan needs to better acknowledge mixed use development but
                       ensure that the development codes treat it as an integrated form of development
                       rather than simply the total of all the parts operating at the same time. The centre
                       has not been redeveloped because the current policy does not support viable
                       mixed use development. Main matters to be raised relate to the current Noosa
                       Plan 2006 provisions of the Business Centre zones in the Noosa Heads locality and
                       the restrictions in terms of population density, gross floor area, carparking,
                       setbacks and land uses. The current plan is also lacking in its ability to deal with
                       mixed use developments and does not envisage visitor accommodation for the
                       area. Investigations into current planning policy need to look at GFA, height,
                       population density and car parking provisions to make true mixed use
                       development financially viable. The New Noosa Plan needs to acknowledge that
                       visitor accommodation is an appropriate use in the area.

      43, 44, 78, 86   This submission requests that population density, gross floor area and carparking
                       provisions be reviewed as part of the new planning scheme as the current
                       provisions do not provide encourage or support viable redevelopment within
                       Noosa Junction. Substantial increases to these provisions are required to enable
                       viable redevelopment to occur. This submission also requests that visitor
