PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                  12 JULY 2016


Since the PIP base date of 2006, the Noosa Plan planning scheme has only incurred minor
amendments in relation to changes in zoning for urban development purposes. Consequently,
staff consider the PIA contained in the current PIP only requires minor amendments for the new
LGIP to accommodate the next 10 to 15 years of urban growth as follows:
   No changes are proposed for the town of Pomona and villages of Boreen Point, Cooran,
     Cooroibah and Kin Kin and to maintain the alignment of the PIA with the town/village
     boundaries currently contained the planning scheme;
   Expand the PIA for the town of Cooroy by including the State owned industrial zoned land
     at Taylor Court (formerly 34 Holts Road) completed in August 2008 under Council’s
     Negotiated Decision Notice 2005/2159 of 30 November 2006;
   Expand the PIA in Noosa Heads to include the Council owned Noosa Coastal Transit
     Centre and car park site on Lot 1 SP 215952 in Noosa Junction since included in the
     business centre zone;
   Curtailing the PIA boundaries in the coastal areas of Eastern Beaches, Noosa Heads,
     Noosaville and Tewantin by removing the adjoining conservation zoned land not meant for
     urban development.
   Amend the layout of the PIA maps to match the other locality maps contained in the
     planning scheme for consistency in presentation.
The revised PIA maps proposed for the new LGIP for the current Noosa Plan planning scheme is
provided in Attachment 1 of this report for Council’s review and endorsement. This PIA will need
to be again reviewed in conjunction with the development of the new planning scheme.

Finance & Risk
Council needs to have amended its current Priority Infrastructure Plan (PIP) to a Local
Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP) by 30 June 2018 in order to continue issuing
infrastructure charges and impose conditions about trunk infrastructure on development.
Since January 2014, $5,271,117 has been collected in infrastructure charges amounting to an
average of $175,700 per month or $2,108,500 per annum. The 2016/2017 budget has
conservatively estimated the next twelve months of infrastructure charges revenue at
$1,687,329.
The actual cost to engage an Appointed Reviewer may ultimately exceed the budgeted amount
of $40,000.
