2017-07-11 S&O Agenda - Attachment 1 to Item 3 - Draft Sport & Active Recreation Plan

        Need for additional indoor sports facilities to accommodate existing peak demand
         (specifically futsal, basketball, netball)

    Commercial Operators
        Potential over supply of gyms and personal trainers in Noosa.
        Operators (activity instructors, personal trainers etc) operating in public spaces without
         Council permits.
        Potential for government and businesses to better network and collaborate on decision
         making and initiatives that promote physical activity (health benefits) in the Shire.
        Co-location of commercial operators with NFP clubs.
        Difficulty in accessing affordable indoor space zoned appropriately for use (eg use of
         industrial zone land for sport purposes).
        Longer permit periods for commercial operators (beyond three years).
        Enforcement and/or extension of six knot speed limit on Noosa River.

    General Public
      95 (27%) of respondents to the public survey provided general comments about sport
       and active recreation in Noosa.
   32% of comments were positive with 45% neither negative nor positive.
   40% of comments related to cycling with 27% requesting facility improvements (eg trails,
       taps, toilets), 17% requesting an increase in bike trails and 12.4% relating to on-road
       cycle safety.
   Comments about off-road trails for either cycling, horse riding or walking made up 32%
       of all comments.
   Better off-road cycle links between Sunshine Beach and Noosa, Tewantin and
       Hinterland, Lake Entrance Boulevard and Noosaville.
   Toilet amenities at Wooroi Day Use area.
   Increase mountain biking options (Wooroi being overused).
   Adventure playground in Cooroy.
   Access to free/low cost activities/facilities for children with special needs.
All the above points have been considered in the formulation of the recommendations of this
plan.


10. Land Use for Sport and Active Recreation in Noosa
             Land Use
The land used for sport and active recreation is owned and managed by a number of entities
    including:
       Private freehold (commercial)
       Private freehold (not for profit)
       Education institutions
       State land where a NFP has direct tenure with the state
       State land where the State manages and controls the activities on site eg National
        Parks
       Council freehold
       Council managed, where council is trustee on behalf of the state


The following table provides the breakdown of the proportion of land area currently used
for sport and active recreation purposes. This demonstrates only 20% of the land area
identified comes under Council control, further evidencing the need for Council to support
and collaborate with other land owners for the purpose of providing residents with sport
and active recreation opportunities.
                                                                                                  29
