Strategy and Planning Committee Agenda 16 February 2011 Build business capacity for the Council and the region This objective relates primarily to building partnerships with business to support initiatives that increase the adaptive capacity of the Sunshine Coast region. For example, maximising and attracting investment in low emission and renewable technologies and economies. There were no specific actions relevant to the assessment of this application. Economic Development Strategy 2010-2014 GENERAL The overall purpose of the Economic Strategy is to enable the creation of wealth, prosperity and jobs in line with the council’s vision of being Australia’s most sustainable region. ACTION PLAN A Broad Economic Base. The proposed development incorporates provisions to establish low impact marine orientated industries to support the proposed marina and 14,000m 2 Gross Floor Area that is intended to be developed as a mixed use town centre. The town centre is intended to incorporate a range of uses from medical, commercial, office, shop and restaurant type uses. The extent and scale of the town centre is consistent with Caloundra City’s Business Centres Hierarchy and provides opportunities to attract new capital investment to the development of the Pelican Waters district business centre. Support for Local Business. The proposal incorporates the development of the final stages of the Pelican Water district business centre. The development of the district business centre will contribute to the local community’s wellbeing by providing basic convenience retailing within walking distance of most town centre residents, workers and visitors, providing a destination dining precinct serving as a social focus for the community, and creating local employment opportunities. It is established that Pelican Waters and Golden Beach areas have limited supply of commercial space. It is forecast that 3,200m 2 of commercial floor space will be warranted in the town centre by build out. It will provide common professional services in a convenient location, thereby generating new economic and employment benefits to the Caloundra South community. The majority of commercial space will be occupied by local businesses and medical and health services servicing the growing Pelican Waters community and therefore it is expected to have minimal impacts on existing commercial uses in the Pelican Waters – Golden Beach area or the Caloundra CBD. A Sustainable Tourism Industry. It is intended the district business centre be the focal point providing a vibrant place for residents and visitors to shop, work and socialise. Precincts adjacent to the water are proposed to capitalise on the amenity offered by the marina and predominantly comprise of restaurants, cafes and bars that provide for outdoor dining opportunities. In addition, the proposed planning area code provides for the opportunity for short term accommodation to be established within the district business centre. Page 46
Strategy and Planning Committee Agenda 16 February 2011 The combination of short-term accommodation and dining and shopping opportunities in a waterfront setting provides the ability for a boutique tourism precinct to be established. It is also possible that Pelican waters town centre will evolve into a leisure destination that will attract a substantial number of visitors in addition to local residents. Planning Scheme Strategic Plan/Desired Environmental Outcomes The subject land is located within the Caloundra South Locality under the Caloundra City Plan 2004 (Planning Scheme) and is designated as Emerging Community. This designation was intended to recognise the extensive amount of planning already undertaken over these areas and preserve the integrity of existing approvals and planning intents established through various Development Control Plans, particularly for Pelican Waters. Precinct Intent The subject site is located in the Emerging Community Precinct. The overall outcomes for the Emerging Community Precinct include: • development in the precinct is designed and co-ordinated to achieve safe, healthy and pleasant new communities which are well integrated with existing communities; and • development in the precinct is consistent with the structure planning elements identified on the relevant Planning Area Code Map; and • development in the precinct provides for urban services. The proposed development generally achieves the overall outcomes, but it is noted that the applicant seeks to provide alternative outcomes in relation to the building height, open space network and community facilities. The matters are discussed in greater detail below. Planning Area Overall Outcomes Within the Caloundra South Planning Area Code there are a number of overall planning area outcomes specific to the subject land including: • development in the emerging community of Pelican Waters (accommodating an ultimate population of 11,000 residents) is progressive and in accordance with existing approvals and commitments; • the District Business Centre at Pelican Waters supports the convenience needs of residents and visitors at Golden Beach and Pelican Waters. Commercial and business functions within this centre are expanded and improved, but residents of the Planning Area continue to rely on the Caloundra Regional Business Centre for higher goods and services; • pedestrian and cyclists are provided with safe and convenient access to centres, waterfront activities and open space networks; • the road network is progressively upgraded to service the emerging community of Pelican Waters and to reduce the pressure on Landsborough Parade and Baldwin Street. A new north-south road is provided to the west of Golden Beach (Pelican Waters Boulevard) to the Nicklin Way roundabout and a new trunk collector road is provided serving the southern part of Pelican Waters and Diamond Head (adjacent Bells Creek); Page 47
