Strategy and Planning Committee Agenda 16 February 2011 Local Government Planning Scheme, Management Plans & Strategies Growth Management Position Paper The Growth Management Position Paper 2008, identified Pelican Waters as a “Greenfield Area” intended to be developed as a master planned community providing a range of housing types and densities. The undeveloped parts of Pelican Waters are intended to incorporate further residential intensification in areas proximate to the District Activity Centre. Statement of Proposals for the New Planning Scheme The Statement of Proposals is the first step towards preparing a new planning scheme and identifies key principles that will primarily inform the strategic planning component of the new planning scheme. The Statement of Proposals includes key principles for managing growth where a more compact urban form is established around activity centres at densities that will support high levels of self-containment in housing choice, transport services, employment, education, sport and recreation opportunities and access to high quality public spaces and community facilities. The proposed development is generally consistent with the key principles identified in the Planning for a Sustainable Sunshine Coast – A Statement of Proposals for the new planning scheme. Affordable Living Strategy 2010-2020 AFFORDABLE LIVING FRAMEWORK (PRINCIPLES) Diverse housing choices for a diverse community The proposed development provides a variety of housing choice ranging from conventional residential allotments to terrace allotments and residential units in low and high rise formats, which provide opportunity and choice to a diverse community. Housing to suit all income levels There are no legislated provisions that would permit Council to pursue affordable or social housing product throughout this development. The provision of small lots and support for residential unit development may produce some product to the market at a lower rate than the established residential areas. However, due to the amenity of the area and established market conditions, the majority of the dwellings would not be considered affordable options. Local opportunities The expansion of the District Business Centre enhances the opportunity for Pelican Waters to become a self-contained community with increased access to employment, retail, entertainment and recreation opportunities. A range of transport choices The Activity Centre provides an opportunity for a public transport hub. The provision and structure of this proposed development provides greater opportunities for through routes and higher frequency services to benefit the Pelican Waters and Golden Beach communities. The provision of higher densities in and around the Town Centre supports the viability of the public transport network. Page 32
Strategy and Planning Committee Agenda 16 February 2011 The public transport network is supported by an extensive pedestrian and cycle network linking into established communities and to key sites such as the Caloundra City School and Golf Club. Great places and spaces The developer has referred to this stage of the proposed development as “The Heart”. The provision of major central open space, walkable waterfronts, a marina, an active town centre, a district community facility, the extension of Jensen Park, adjacent Bells Creek and the extensive pedestrian and cycle networks that link all these spaces, will provide opportunities for social and cultural interaction, participation and improved wellbeing. A minimal environmental footprint The Climate and Energy Efficiency Code and Stormwater Management Code of the Caloundra City Plan 2004 are applicable codes for the development of individual lots. The codes address energy efficiency measures for both commercial and residential developments and water re-use measures to reduce dependency on potable water. The Preliminary Approval process affords Council the opportunity to implementation built form design parameters that aim to achieve sustainable outcomes to reduce reliance on energy consumptive appliances. In response, provisions within the Pelican Waters Southern Lake Planning Area Code require development to be responsive to localised climatic conditions. With specific regard to water conservation measures, all development, including dwelling houses, multiple dwellings and commercial development are required to have on-site water harvesting, for internal and external non-potable use, which will significantly decrease reliance on potable water supply. In addition, a condition has been included that requires the developer of the subdivision to prepare a water harvesting plan for public areas (parks and roads), with the aim of reducing potable water usage in parks for non potable purposes (ie; irrigation). The installation of this system will have a long term cost implication for Council related to the operation, maintenance and ‘end of life’ replacement cost of the infrastructure. These measures are expected to reduce potable water use in the order of 30%-40% over established standards, which will reduce household expense. Resource efficiency is further promoted through the delivery of sustainable neighbourhoods, that reduce the reliance on the motor vehicle as a preferred mode of transport. Mixed use developments involving medical, shops, offices and residential when integrated with an efficient public transport and pedestrian and cycle network, mean that residents of Pelican Waters don’t have to travel to Caloundra as often for their day to day and week to week needs. The introduction of water based industry, retail, restaurant and offices provides opportunities for residents to work in the immediate area. Sustainable Transport Strategy 2011-2031 TRANSPORT STRATEGY (GOALS) A shift to public and active transport modes is achieved Pelican Waters has an established bus route. The low density of the existing community and the “end of line” nature of the development make it difficult to provide a high frequency service. Page 33
