PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                  7 AUGUST 2018


Stormwater
The stormwater piped network identified as trunk infrastructure has been increased from 450mm
pipes to 650mm as pipes below 650mm are considered to have a local function.
Stormwater projects identified in the current LGIP continue into the new draft LGIP. Cost
estimates for stormwater projects have been updated.
Transport
The road network hierarchy has been reviewed and now has a 4 tiered category system.
Collector, distributor and arterial roads are identified as trunk infrastructure.
The new road hierarchy has generated the identification of additional new pathways, bus stops
and upgrades along the new trunk road network which have been included in the new Schedule
of Works. Cost estimates for transport projects have also been updated.
Public Parks and land for community facilities.
The adopted Sport & Active Recreation Plan 2018 made a number of recommendations for the
new LGIP. Specifically, with regard to the identification of future sports land, separating “Indoor
Sport” and “Community Facilities” and identifying future embellishments and upgrades.
Sports land
The identification of future land acquisition at Cootharaba and lot 15SP177649 on Cooyar St,
Noosa Heads in the current LGIP have been removed and replaced with future land
requirements and expansion of playing fields at Girraween.
A review of all assets was undertaken and future projects identified and costed to meet the future
needs of the community as highlighted in the Sport & Active Recreation Plan. Key projects
include new field development, field resurfacing and upgrades to facilities and amenities at a
number of sports grounds.
Land for Community Facilities
Existing land for community facilities is more comprehensively identified and included in the new
draft LGIP. It is no longer limited to sport and recreation purposes but includes a broader range
of land used for community facilities. Future works associated with the expansion of the
cemetery, landfill site and Noosa Yacht Club lease area are included in the new Schedule of
works as future projects.
Recreation Parks
Recreation Parks identified in the current LGIP continue to be included in the new draft LGIP with
the additional inclusion of:
    an expanded Noosa Woods / Noosa Spit area east of the road to reflect its shire wide
      catchment and use;
    parks along Noosa Parade fronting Noosa River upgraded to district parks to reflect their
      district catchment and use.
A number of upgrades to recreation parks have been identified. The list of future projects is more
extensive than the current LGIP as a result of improved alignment with the Infrastructure
Department’s asset planning and alignment with the capital works program. Key projects,
amongst others include:
    general facility, playground and toilet upgrades to a number of parks;
    a new toilet block on Noosa River foreshore between Thomas St and Robert St;
