2019-12-11 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 2 - Final New Noosa Plan Part 1-3 and 5-6 Track Change version

           artisans workshops and rural tourism.
     (x)   Tourism continues to be recognised as an important sector for the economy. Sustainable, low impact, nature­based tourism
           and rural tourism are supported. Key visitor areas include Hastings Street, Gympie Terrace, Noosa River, Tewantin Marina,
           Noosa National Park, Sunshine Beach, Peregian Beach, Noosa North Shore and the Hinterland.
     (y)   Key resource areas KRA 56 Ringtail Creek and KRA 57 Wahpunga Range Kin Kin and their respective haul routes are
           protected. Emphasis is on protecting these extractive resource areas from encroachment by sensitive land uses and from
           development which is incompatible with the existing and future extraction, processing and transportation of extractive
           resources. Extractive resource areas are identified on the Extractive Resources Overlay Maps in Schedule 2.
     (z)   Creative industries, culture and community activities are valued and contribute to the economy and social fabric of Noosa
           Shire. While many of these are born from home​­based enterprises, there are benefits in allowing them to cluster and
           concentrate in activity centres such as Noosa Junction where collaboration and growth are facilitated.
     Editor’s Note—Noosa North Shore is the area of Noosa Shire north of the Noosa River and is bounded by that river, the Pacific Ocean and the
     Shire’s northern boundary.

 3.3.6 Transport and Movement
     The strategic outcomes for transport and movement by 2041 are:
     (a)   Land use and transport are integrated and the transport system supports the preferred settlement pattern, including a focus
           on 'infill' rather than outlying 'greenfield' development.
     (b)   Transport infrastructure that supports public and active transport is concentrated in and around high generating land uses
           such as activity centres and higher density residential development.
     (c)   Urban growth occurs in areas within close proximity to existing transit stations supported by walking and cycling
           infrastructure.
     (d)   Priority is given to places for people rather than places for cars. Transport infrastructure and services prioritise pedestrians,
           cyclists, motor scooters and public transport over private cars.
     (e)   Additional car parking is not at the expense of public open space or the pedestrian amenity of the public realm.
     (f)   Park and ride facilities are located on arterial roads on approaches to the busy Noosa coastal areas where they are serviced
           by frequent, quality bus links to key destinations, with good security and visitor information.
     (g)   New development incorporates or supports active public transport infrastructure that connects with existing networks.
           Development takes into account the future planning of the State's Principal Cycle Network.
     (h)   Development produces functional streetscapes that offer safety, amenity, connectivity, legibility and permeability for
           pedestrians and cyclists.
     (i)   New business and community development incorporate secure cycling racks/storage and other end of trip facilities such as
           washing facilities, as well as parking for motorcycles and scooters.
     (j)   An absence of big city symbols in Noosa is important to maintain the character of urban settlements and this means roads
           are generally two lanes with limited sections of four lanes, roundabouts are preferred to traffic lights, there are no multi​­storey
           car parks, and paid parking is controlled through means other than individual meters.
     (k)   Technological solutions to parking management and mobility are adopted to better manage traffic and parking demands,
           reduce congestion and reduce environmental impacts.
     (l)   Development supports the road hierarchy and the provision of a free flowing transport system that protect the safety and
           amenity of roads for all anticipated users.
     (m)   The role the highway and arterial roads serve in the movement of freight is protected with sensitive land uses avoided or
           buffered along these routes.
     (n)   The Noosa Aerodrome off Weyba Drive, Noosaville is retained and operated as the only commercial airstrip within Noosa
           Shire. Use of the Noosa North Shore airstrip will not be expanded and the airstrip will ultimately be closed.

 3.3.7 Infrastructure and Services
     The strategic outcomes for infrastructure and services by 2041 are:
     (a)   The planning and delivery of efficient, timely and coordinated infrastructure for Noosa Shire occurs to ensure the adequate
           provision of electricity, water, sewerage, telecommunication and digital networks that support economic growth and meet
           environmental and social needs.
     (b)   Efficient infrastructure delivery and services occur through co​location with other infrastructure wherever possible.
     (c)   Existing and future trunk infrastructure corridors are protected from development that would compromise the corridor integrity,
           and the efficient and sustainable delivery and functioning of infrastructure.
