6. Assessment Against Noosa Plan 2020 and Strategic Documents

6.1 Noosa Plan 2020

The following extracts have been taken from the Noosa Plan 2020, and are in support of the proposed
development and existing car parking arrangements:

    •   Part 3 Strategic Framework – Strategic Intent 3.2.7 “Creating more capacity in the road network and
        car parking around key destinations will only encourage additional congestion. Thus, focus continues
        to be on encouraging public transport, active transport, use of motor scooters and the like in
        conjunction with disincentives for unlimited numbers of private vehicles accessing key visitor
        destinations.”
    •   Part 9 Development Codes – 9.4.1.2 Overall Outcome for Driveways and Parking Code - “Car parking
        spaces and associated manoeuvring areas are designed to be safe and functional and meet the
        reasonable requirements of the particular land use”.
    •   Part 9 Development Codes – 9.4.1.3 PO6 for Driveways and Parking Code – “Sufficient parking is
        provided having regard to the specifics of the use”.

6.2 Driveways and Parking Code

Below is an assessment of the proposed hair salon against the relevant outcomes sought for the Driveways
