these will continue through the 2016 calendar year.

wetlands and watercourses.
Focus on “infill” development rather than “greenfield” development .
F
Use existing under-utilised urban land more efficiently.
Maintain and refine the existing town and village boundaries.
A
Maintain an appropriate upper limit on development capacity.
R
Utilise capacity within the existing infrastructure networks
Maintain the Noosa architectural style and identity.
D
Increase the role of town centres and villages as mixed use community hubs.
Increase the range and diversity of housing choice.
Increase opportunities to build small dwellings - 1 and 2 bedrooms.
Create opportunities for diverse business development and employment.
Make provision for business and employment growth in new technology, health,
education and smart and creative industries.
Create a clear and easy to navigate planning framework for new business.
Create enterprise precincts for diverse business mix and emerging industries.
Support an appropriate range of rural enterprises.
Continue to make provision for community services and cultural activities.
Investigate opportunities for increasing the range and mix of uses and densities
around key transport nodes such as town centres.
Increase opportunities for walking and cycling.
Support public transport, motor scooter, bicycle and electric vehicle infrastructure.

F
Allow smaller 1-2 bedroom dwellings in a mixed use format in town centres.

Outcome: New housing is focussed within the existing urban area.
Focus new housing development on “infill” rather than “greenfield” locations (developing vacant or under-used land within existing urban areas rather than the
development of new housing estates).
Identify vacant or underutilised sites within the existing urban area for attached housing.
Outcome: Land for attached housing is available and dedicated for permanent housing.

Section 33
Priorities for Noosa’s Natural Hazards and Resilience
Outcome: Hazards are identified and considered.
Identify areas at risk from natural hazards including flooding, landslide, acid sulphate soils, bushfire and coastal erosion.
T
Take account of current and future climate risks in hazard mapping and as part of development assessment.
Include areas of maximum flow velocity on the planning scheme flood hazard maps to assist with safe design of new development in high flood velocity areas.
F
Outcome: Community resilience.
A
Build community resilience by clearly identifying, mapping, communicating, considering and planning for natural hazard risk and climate change risks.
R
Ensure development does not unduly burden disaster management response or recovery capacity and capabilities.
D
Ensure the design and siting of development improves the adaptive capacity of the community to natural hazards by mitigating or avoiding long term climate risks.
Outcome: Hazards are avoided or the risks mitigated to an acceptable or tolerable level.
Ensure development in areas at risk of natural hazards is compatible with the nature of the hazard and does not place people, property, economic activity, social
wellbeing and the natural environment at risk.
Avoid development in areas subject to natural hazards or where natural hazards cannot be avoided. Adopt mitigation or adaptation measures.
Ensure development does not materially increase the impact or severity of the natural hazard and the potential damage.
Ensure development does not impact on the flood plain and flood conveyance capacity of waterways.
Maintain erosion prone areas within a ‘limited development’ buffer zone that provides for a non-worsening of development impacts and coastal hazards.
Outcome: There is no increase in the severity of the natural hazard and the potential for damage.
Ensure development does not increase risk for existing or planned communities, people, property or infrastructure through careful siting and design.

Protect committed open space in a conservation zone.
Allow land owners to nominate their property for inclusion in an environmental management zone.
T
Use mapping overlays in the plan to protect biodiversity values, corridors, waterways and riparian zones over public and private land.

Outcome: Natural Resources are effectively managed and protected long term.
A
Through the application of mapping overlays protect good quality agricultural land from development that would fragment it or alienate it from agricultural pursuits.
Protect the catchments of drinking water from development that would pollute or diminish supply.
R
Identify key resource areas that can be sustainably extracted for local construction industries.
D
Outcome: The settlement pattern of the Noosa Hinterland remains largely unchanged
Maintain current minimum lot sizes outside of the Urban Footprint so as to prevent further fragmentation of the hinterland.
Outcome: Appropriate Rural Enterprises are facilitated through the scheme.
Within the Rural Zone reduce regulation of agriculture and require development assessment only by exception where the scale or intensity of use dictates.
Review development parameters such as setbacks and livestock rates for agricultural uses adjoining rural living areas.
Allow for suitable agri-related activities in the rural zone e.g. packing sheds, rural vehicle servicing, host farms, farm-gate sales, commercial kitchens and cooking
schools.
Reconsider where approval is required for agricultural uses and complementary activities.
Allow for small scale visitor accommodation with minimal regulation however subject to public notification and assessment of impacts allow for health retreats and
nature-based lodges that might accommodate up to 30 people.
Optimise opportunities for activities associated with the Noosa Trail Network access.
Apply a rural residential zone on acreage lots where rural living is the preferred dominant use – allow only discrete rural enterprises with no external impacts.
