Strategy and Planning Committee Agenda 16 February 2011<br />

Growth Management Position Paper<br />

The <strong>Sunshine</strong> <strong>Coast</strong> Growth Management Position Paper was prepared as a basis for a<br />

submission to the State government for consideration in its review of the South East<br />

Queensland Regional Plan 2005 - 2026. The Growth Management Position Paper is a<br />

summary document that confirms and modifies the draft Local Growth Management<br />

Strategies. Each Local Growth Management Strategy acts as a background document for<br />

this Position Paper.<br />

This document identifies the State government’s <strong>Sunshine</strong> <strong>Coast</strong> Regional Business and<br />

Industry Park and its extension under the draft Caloundra City Local Growth Management<br />

Strategy. The approach of the Position Paper is that the focus for future industrial<br />

development is contained within the existing enterprise and industrial areas to 2031. The<br />

Position Paper recommends that the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009 – 2031<br />

provisions recognise opportunities on the <strong>Sunshine</strong> <strong>Coast</strong> for alternative business and<br />

industry activity including clean, green, innovative industries.<br />

This application supports that objective by allowing Low Impact Industry to occur, thus,<br />

providing a greater variety of business and industrial uses to establish, while utilising existing<br />

designated industrial land.<br />

Planning Scheme<br />

Desired Environmental Outcomes<br />

Caloundra City Plan 2004 contains six Desired Environmental Outcomes which relate to:<br />

(a)<br />

(b)<br />

(c)<br />

(d)<br />

(e)<br />

(f)<br />

Economic Development;<br />

Community Life and Wellbeing;<br />

Natural Assets and Systems;<br />

Character and Identity;<br />

Access and Mobility; and<br />

Infrastructure.<br />

The Desired Environmental Outcomes are based on ecological sustainability as defined by<br />

the Integrated Planning Act 1997 and are the basis for the measures contained within<br />

Caloundra City Plan 2004. An assessment of the proposal against the Desired<br />

Environmental Outcomes finds that the proposed 345 Pierce Avenue Structure Plan is<br />

consistent with and complements the Desired Environmental Outcomes.<br />

Precinct Intent<br />

The subject site is located in the Caloundra South Planning Area, and the Core Industry<br />

Precinct.<br />

The applicable overall outcomes of the Caloundra South Planning Area include:<br />

Industrial development within the Planning Area is consolidated and contained to the<br />

Core Industry Precinct allocated to the Caloundra Road Industrial Estate and the<br />

proposed Caloundra Regional Business and Industry Park south of Pierce Avenue.<br />

The proposed application will consolidate industrial development in the area as it forms a<br />

natural extension of Claude Boyd Parade. It will also allow Low Impact Industry development<br />

adjacent to what are already approved Low Impact Industry sites.<br />

The Caloundra regional business and industry park provides a modern and visually<br />

appealing industry park with a high level of environmental performance and design.<br />
