2.   SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background
The intended form for the development of the site was originally identified through a master plan
process nominated by the 1997 Strategic Plan. Master plans (MP1 and MP2 attached –
Attachment 3 and 4) were developed in consultation with the owners of the site, various external
consultants and the community to achieve the aim of the Strategic Plan and to inform the
development of the Noosa Plan. When the Noosa Plan was created in 2006 it captured MP2 via
the inclusion of various provisions under the Noosaville Locality Code and the current master
plan within the Noosa Plan known as the Shire Business Centre precinct map (see figure 9 page
16).
The site has partly been developed with the Noosa Civic established in October 2006 as Stage 1.
Stage 1 involved the establishment of a discount department store based shopping centre of
approximately 23,900m2 gross floor area, along with 7,200m2 gross floor of retail showrooms, a
service station and 4,925m2 gross floor area of commercial office space. As part of the approval
for Stage 1, Lot 3 SP182845 was dedicated as open space to the State.
In 2003, the applicant entered into an Infrastructure Agreement which in part provided for
infrastructure items to be provided by the applicant for the existing and future development of the
land in total. The agreement also included dedication of land as road reserve and for public open
space purposes. Furthermore, the agreement provided that there would be no requirement for
contributions to be paid (by way of conditions imposed on any application) nor pay infrastructure
charges associated with the future development of the land provided that the intensity of
development of a future stage did not exceed that envisaged by MP2.
A Stage 2 development was approved by Council in 2008 and comprised four office buildings
with a combined gross floor area of 7,701m2. This development never proceeded and has since
lapsed.
