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

CONCLUSION<br />

The Caloundra City Plan 2004 envisaged that the developer of this land would lodge a<br />

Preliminary Approval application over this land. The application lodged is generally<br />

consistent with the land use, built form and density outcomes sought for this land under the<br />

Caloundra City Plan 2004. The Rezoning Approval from 1996 and the Planning Scheme and<br />

associated Policy establish the obligations to provide particular infrastructure including, but<br />

not limited to, open space and community facilities.<br />

The Caloundra City Plan 2004, also envisages that there may be an extension to the<br />

waterbodies through this area.<br />

This report has been structured to provide <strong>Council</strong> confidence that the potential financial<br />

risks can adequately be addressed by an Infrastructure Agreement and that the potential<br />

risks to the environment, associated with the form of development proposed can be<br />

adequately managed, such that the development is unlikely to impact on the Pumicestone<br />

Passage catchment.<br />

Due to the number of the amenity outcomes that require variation from <strong>Council</strong>’s established<br />

Policy and the major infrastructure considerations that are critical to the determination of the<br />

application, it will be necessary to establish an Infrastructure Agreement with the applicant<br />

prior to the determination of the application. <strong>Council</strong> previously considered the infrastructure<br />

matters on 17 November 2010 at the Ordinary <strong>Council</strong> Meeting in a closed session, whereby<br />

<strong>Council</strong> established a position in terms of the expected minimum infrastructure requirements<br />

that are to be agreed to and contained within an Infrastructure Agreement prior to the<br />

application being decided. Negotiations with the developer have established agreement on<br />

all of the items, these include:<br />

• Open Space and Playing Fields;<br />

• Community Facilities;<br />

• Waterways Maintenance and Operational Contribution;<br />

• Pedestrian and Cycle Network; and<br />

• Walkable Waterfront.<br />

This approach is recommended to provide the applicant and <strong>Council</strong> with certainty moving<br />

forward with the drafting and eventual signing of the infrastructure agreement.<br />

The proposed concept submitted by the applicant is generally consistent with the Planning<br />

Scheme intent for this area and <strong>Council</strong> Officers recommend approving the proposal, subject<br />

to the conditions contained in Appendix A.<br />
