1.3 Plan recommendations and comments The Sunshine Coast Aquatic Plan 2011- 2026 is informed by several driving factors and recognises the cost of implementing all recommendations will be beyond the capacity of council to fund in its own right. Accordingly, external funding and/or partnerships with other agencies or the private sector (such as lessees or management contractors) should be sought wherever possible. The recommended actions should be evaluated annually for compliance and currency. Due to the changing nature of aquatic facility management and programming, coupled with the lease cycles, the entire document will require a major triennial review. 1.4 Guiding principles The following guiding principles support our vision and objectives and will ensure a consistent approach to the implementation of council’s aquatic network across the Sunshine Coast (see Table 1: Sunshine Coast Aquatic Plan 2011-2026 guiding principles.) Table 1: Sunshine Coast Aquatic Plan 2011-2026 guiding principles Guiding principles Community involvement and inclusion Effective planning for aquatic opportunities Sustainability Partnership opportunities Diverse aquatic infrastructure Effective management of aquatic facilities Accessibility, safety and proximity Minimal impacts on surrounding land uses Promote aquatic facilities throughout the region Community involvement, education and feedback will be required and regularly undertaken for determining demands, needs and the development phases of the aquatic network. A strong partnership approach will be encouraged with community groups (e.g. swim clubs). Ensure that the provision of aquatic facilities and infrastructure reflects community need and enhances community wellbeing through improved opportunity for physical activity and social capital. Ensure that the type and design of aquatic facilities and infrastructure retains flexibility and diversity to accommodate future demand and balances this from a quadruple bottom line (economic, social, environmental and governance) perspective. Encourage and support entrepreneurial arrangements which value-add to the community accessible aquatic opportunities throughout the region. Support facilities which cater for a wide range of compatible experiences and uses. Encourage management arrangements which improve transparency, inform future decision making and maximise the use, safety and community benefit of facilities. Ensure that all new aquatic facilities are located, designed and constructed to be safe and accessible as well as connected to both public and active transport networks. Endeavour to ensure that aquatic facilities are positioned and designed in such a manner to reduce impacts on surrounding land uses. Ensure information is made available to inform residents and visitors of the aquatic opportunities available within the region. 12 Sunshine Coast Aquatic Plan 2011-2026
1.5 Regional aquatic network recommendations Outcome Area 1: Planning the council owned aquatic network for growth and change Recommendations Priority Partnership potential 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f Endorse Section 6: Desired Standards of Service (including provision standard rationale, site selection criteria and design criteria considerations) as set out in this Plan, ensuring: ►► performance standards are reflected within future ►► planning documents council prepare annual capital works programs in accordance with the implementation recommendations. Inform the relevant planning processes of the requirements for two new aquatic facilities and ensure the placement and planning of these facilities is considered within subsequent master planning processes, as follows: ►► a minor district facility within Palmview ►► a major district facility within the Caloundra South ►► development area the timing and delivery of these facilities will need to be considered in line with population growth, existing and future facility demand and sustainable land use. It is acknowledged that these recommendations may fall outside the reach of this Plan. Further consideration is required to review the practicalities of the potential long term relocation of the rectangular water space from Cotton Tree to the Maroochydore locality (see Section 1.6: Sunshine Coast Council venue recommendations, Cotton Tree Aquatic Centre). Place a moratorium on further additions, developments or re-developments at council owned facilities until council has received, considered and endorsed individual plans and development strategies for each facility, consideration of which will include: ►► settlement patterns, demographics, community demands and anticipated needs ►► infrastructure and service mix to accommodate existing and future demand ►► project specific feasibility research ►► conduct of ‘quadruple bottom line’ cost benefit analysis ►► incorporation of environmentally sustainable initiatives ►► whole of life cost implications and risk analysis ►► partnership opportunities. In the preparation of the new planning scheme ensure aquatic and associated ancillary facilities and uses are consistent with community and sport and recreation land use designations. Refer the requirements for active pathway connections for all council owned aquatic facilities to the Open Space Strategy and Active Transport Plan for immediate planning and future delivery.
