Strategy and Planning Committee Agenda 16 February 2011 Pedestrian Bridges The Planning Scheme emphasises the importance of permeable street networks and high quality pedestrian and cycle links between major nodes to encourage pedestrian and cyclist use. The proposed lake creates a significant barrier to pedestrian and cyclist movement through this community. The applicant has agreed to the provision of two pedestrian/cycle bridges across the lake in order to improve pedestrian/cycle permeability. Walkable Waterfront The extent of the walkable waterfront extends from the existing Pelican Waters shopping centre and tavern past the proposed marina and around approximately half of the central island. The inclusion of the two pedestrian/cycle bridges further improves the circulation of the network and provides safe and convenient access to central island, town centre and coastal path for the greater Pelican Waters and Golden Beach (Diamond Head) community. Coastal Path The Pelican Waters development is the southern extent of the former Caloundra Council’s coastal path network. The development of this land will complete the network from Pelican Waters to the northern end of Golden Beach. The applicant proposes an extension of the coastal path network from the recently approved Boronia Grove layout terminating at the south western corner of Lot 431 CG 2549. The applicant indicates the recommencement of the pathway from the south eastern corner of Lot 431 CG 2549 through to the existing path network at Jensen Park, thus resulting in an uncompleted section adjacent to the southern boundary of Lot 431 CG 2549. This outcome is unacceptable as the coastal path would be complete but for approximately 400 metres to adjacent land currently zoned rural. The construction of the pathway is possible as there is an existing road reserve within which the pathway is to be located. The minimum expectation is that the applicant complete this coastal pathway and be credited the full cost of these works against their general contributions for pathways in accordance with Council’s adopted Policy. The applicant has proposed a connection to a “nature walk” within the Jensen Park extension, this proposal is not supported due to Crime Prevention through Environmental Design concerns, maintenance issues and increased exposure to biting insects. A boardwalk section over the channel along the alignment of the existing causeway crossing is acceptable. With regard to impact on mapped vegetation, the applicant has submitted that the coastal path will be aligned within the proposed east west collector road reserve. Water and Sewerage considerations Unitywater have assessed the proposal and provided conditions for inclusion in the development permit, should the proposal be supported. Conditions relate to the provision of reticulated water and sewerage being provided in accordance with the Water Supply and Sewerage Infrastructure Assessment dated 11 August 2010 prepared by Cardno Pty Ltd. There are also requirements for a number of pump stations to be upgraded based on sewerage inflow loading reaching predetermined Equivalent Person (EP) counts. Page 64
