Strategy and Planning Committee Agenda 16 February 2011 The precinct is intended to primarily support residential uses that form the central core residential accommodation on the island. It is intended that the type of accommodation will be designed to promote housing diversity and contemporary urban living arrangements including Terrace Housing, Small Lot Housing and Multiple Dwellings set within a walkable public realm. To ensure an overall net residential density of 15 dwellings/ hectare can be achieved, the precinct is required to be developed at a gross residential density of between 20 and 32 dwellings/ hectare. The precinct contains two sub-precincts being: • The Avenue; and • Transition Residential. The Avenue sub-precinct is aligned along the central east-west movement spine and central Village Park and is intended to accommodate mid to higher density forms of residential development providing an urban edge to the central Village Park and critical mass to support the District Business Centre. The building heights within The Avenue sub-precinct are proposed to range from 2 to 4 storeys. The Transition Residential sub-precinct comprise residential areas surround ‘The Avenue’ sub-precinct and will be developed for more traditional lower density residential development. LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL PRECINCT The Low Density Residential Precinct is characterised by residential development of a more traditional suburban form and represents the most significant land area of the site. The majority of the Low Density Residential Precinct is intended to be developed at a density of 12 dwellings/ hectare with a maximum height of two storeys. Specific areas have been identified within this Precinct for a higher density housing form of development up to 22 dwellings/ hectare with a maximum height of three storeys. The typical housing product in these areas will be Terrace Housing and Multiple Dwellings. These areas are generally located north of the District Business Centre and east of the District Business Centre adjacent established residential areas of Golden Beach (Diamond Head) and Pelican Waters (Harbourlights Way). The Planning Scheme requires new communities to be well integrated with existing communities. The proposed density of development adjacent to the established residential area of Golden Beach (Diamond Head) and Pelican Waters (Harbourlights Way) does not integrate with the built form character of the existing community in that it provides lot sizes down to one quarter (¼) of the size of the adjoining established residential area. Other matters of concern relate to the provision of overland flow paths to cater for flood events, which are more difficult to provide as the density of development increases. Council has also received numerous submissions from land owners in the established area concerned about the density of development adjacent to their property boundary. In light of the above discussion, it is recommended that the identified “Transition Residential” sub-precinct located between Maryann Street, Golden Beach and Harbourlights Way, Pelican Waters be removed and the area identified as “Low Density Residential Precinct” to more appropriately reflect the existing residential densities and built form that surround this particular part of the development site.

Strategy and Planning Committee Agenda 16 February 2011 The applicant’s proposed density and form of development is still warranted within the development, but there are alternative locations for these residential densities which would avoid conflicts with established residential areas. Proposed Southern Lakes Pelican Waters Planning Area Code The proposed Southern Lakes Pelican Waters Planning Area Code is based on the same structure and format as the Caloundra City Plan 2004. The purpose of the Code is to provide an increased level of land use and built form guidance that is currently not provided for development in the Emerging Community Precinct. The Code is based upon the establishment of three Precincts being: • District Business Centre Precinct; • Multi Unit residential Precinct; and • Low Density Residential Precinct The establishment of these precincts varies the effect of the Caloundra City Plan by overriding the Emerging Community precinct. The above precincts and their supported land uses which are detailed within Caloundra City Plan have been similarly reflected within the proposed Planning Area Code. This maintains a level of consistency between these documents. The introduction of the above precincts appropriately facilitates the development of a wider range of uses and their respective levels of assessment, compared to the Emerging Community Precinct. The Code addresses matters such as height, density, built form, climate responsive design, parking and access, subdivision provisions, overall outcomes for each Precinct and infrastructure networks. The area where this Code differs from the current Planning Scheme is primarily the inclusion of detailed provisions relating to new housing typologies such as terrace housing and small lot housing. The section of the Code that relates to terrace housing and small lot housing includes detailed Acceptable Solutions that will provide a built form responsive to the specific climatic conditions of the Sunshine Coast. Conditions are included that requires amendments to the Code to resolve minor workability issues associated with the Code. Environmental Assessment Pumicestone Passage The Pumicestone Passage forms part of the Moreton Bay Marine Park and is listed as a Ramsar Wetland. Pumicestone Passage was recently downgraded to a “D” rating as part of the 2010 Healthy Waterways Ecosystem Health Monitoring Program Report Card. The preservation of the marine environment is the most significant issue associated with the assessment of this development, particularly as the proposed development incorporates an extension to the Lamerough Canal system, to create a marina basin and the development of a partial tidal lake system.
