SPECIAL MEETING AGENDA                                                             28 OCTOBER 2019


                     F)    a Residential Precinct (RES), which provides residential support
                           accommodation to the other key precincts; and
                     G)    a Minor Recreation/Minor Mixed Use/Open Space Precinct (REC/MU),
                           developed for the purposes of a minor recreation use or minor mixed-
                           use development;
O100     Pedestrian and bicycle paths are constructed throughout the Shire Business Centre site,
         with appropriate external connections provided;
O101     Pedestrian and bicycle movements between key nodes within the Shire Business Centre
         site are designated to minimise the need to cross over roads and where road crossovers
         are necessary, central refuges are provided.
O104     Subsequent development stages provide for the—
            a)    completion of the access intersections leading into the Shire Business Centre
                  site;
            b)    completion of further stages of the internal loop road;
            c)    completion of further stages of development within the precincts;
            d)    completion of the pedestrian and bikeway network;
            e)    construction of the link road to the Noosaville Industrial Estate;
            f)    construction of a inter-regional transit facility (public transport node);
            g)    completion of the stormwater management systems;
            h)    completion of landscaping design elements; and
            i)    further dedication of land to public open space.
O112     Development has strong pedestrian and bikeway connectivity with Precincts B2, B3, E1
         and E2;
O125     Development is designed and sited within a park like setting, with landscape treatment
         enhancing and forming an extension of the adjoining open space areas;
O154     The northern section of Precinct E6 contains an inter-regional transit facility;
The proposed re-configuration aligns, or partially aligns, with some of the above Overall and
Specific Outcomes in that the proposal makes land available for development and is reflective of
the precinct layout envisaged by the current Noosa Plan. Development on the newly created lots
would provide for potential new employment opportunities. The proposal also includes the
extension of Hofmann Drive in an easterly direction to connect with Walter Hay Drive and the
provision of a north/south internal road which connects the existing private road with the
Hofmann Drive extension. The new roads will complete the internal link road, deliver improved
circulation within the precinct, connectivity from Rene Street to Walter Hay Drive and potentially
reduce traffic demand on the northern extent of Walter Hay Drive benefitting the overall external
network.
However, while there are some noted benefits the proposal raises other matters which conflict
with the relevant Overall and Specific Outcomes, including:
     Bushfire management
     Road layout/Traffic management
     Pedestrian/cycle linkages
     Provision of Transit Centre
     Vegetation removal
     Lot layout and lot size
