Outcome: Land for attached housing is available and dedicated for permanent housing.

introduced in 2005 encouraged private cars to be
more efficiently used with a proportion of trips being
replaced with walking, cycling, public transport or
even carpooling. While the uptake of walking and
cycling increased moderately it has not resulted
in fewer cars on the road and the program was
discontinued.

Priorities for Noosa’s Transport and Movement

Outcome: - Land use and transport are integrated and the transport system supports the preferred pattern of development

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.

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.

Planning a way forward for the Hinterland and Rural Areas

Outcome: The environmental values of the Noosa Hinterland are preserved into the future.
   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.




                                       F
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.

42 The New Noosa Plan

Section 43

Planning a way forward for Cooroy Township

Outcome: The “country town” character of Cooroy is maintained and
reinforced.
 	Promote Cooroy as a district activity centre servicing the Noosa hinterland and some




                                       T
    communities outside the Shire
 	Retain retail and customer-focused office uses on land with frontage to Maple St, Emerald




                                     F
    St, Garnet St, Elm St and Diamond St while ensuring attractive streetscape treatment.
 	Reinforce Maple Street and Emerald Street as main streets with buildings addressing the




                                    A
     street, complementing the traditional built form and incorporating continuous, intimate,
     weather protected footpaths. Promote a low speed, people focussed environment in these




                                   R
     spaces centred around the intersection of the two roads.
 	Retain the character area overlay and continue to protect individually significant sites,




                                  D
    promoting reuse where appropriate
 	Promote buildings that complement and are reflective of the traditional building forms in
     Cooroy. Outside of the town centre this relies on a relatively low site cover so buildings are
     separated by space and mature vegetation.
 	Promote retail development in the form of small tenancies rather than large floor plates and
    drive-through facilities.

Outcome: Cooroy is home to a diverse, inclusive community.
 	Enhance housing choice by providing for a range of attached housing and smaller dwelling
    units located close to the town centre with convenient access to public transport.
 	Prioritise the safety and comfort of pedestrians in the public realm, particularly in Maple
    Street and Emerald Street.
 	Improve safe and convenient pedestrian and cyclist connections throughout town including
     connections to the town centre, community facilities, schools, train station, and sports fields.
 	Where topography allows, new residential development incorporates through streets
     extending the current grid pattern and providing a legible network for pedestrians and
     drivers.

Looking forward
Tewantin’s identity as a well serviced, self-contained community of permanent
residents is important. Much activity is focused on the vibrant pedestrian main
street and emerging hospitality/entertainment options including weekend activity.
Residents come into town for goods and services as well as social interaction.

      residential activities in a mixed use setting.




                                       T
 	Retain a compact business centre bound by properties facing Sidoni Street, Blakesley Street, Diyan Street, Memorial Avenue and Doonella Street.




                                     F
 	Prevent retail and commercial growth outside the town centre.
 	Promote human scale of built form acknowledging current buildings up to 2 or 3 storeys in town centre and small tenancies rather than big floor plates.




                                    A
 	In Poinciana Ave, build to the front boundary with active frontages and continuous awnings creating interest and comfort for pedestrians
 	Create opportunities for outdoor dining and breakout space for workers.




                                   R
