Table 13: Desired provision standards Type Facility style/elements Community Community pools represent community owned and managed aquatic assets which contribute towards improved service provision within the aquatic network. District (minor) This facility is of a size and location which services a whole district accommodating the majority of aquatic needs and programs within a district area. This can consist of a lap swimming pool, heated pool and other ancillary infrastructure based on district needs. Seasonal operation may be considered. District (major) Providing for a higher number of users than a minor district facility capable of attracting a diverse range of user groups catering for all program requirements including leisure water. Major facilities will draw a large number of users from a wide radius and will be required to be of high standard. Year round operation. Regional Providing for a higher number of users than district and in particular can cater for swimming events to a regional level and has the infrastructure to provide space for regional water polo and diving activity demands. Provision considerations Existing aquatic facilities available for community use are located at: Pomona, Cooroy, Conondale, Maleny, Tewantin, Kenilworth, Mooloolah, Mountain Creek. Consider provision through aquatic facilities at the following locations: ► Buderim, Coolum/ Peregian, Eumundi, Palmwoods and Palmview. ► ► Maleny is being considered through a separate planning process. Consider provision within the principal and major activity centres of: ► Beerwah, Caloundra South, Caloundra, Nambour, Noosa and Maroochydore/Cotton Tree. To be provided within the major activity centre of: ► Kawana. *Development can be staged Population catchment ratios Water space (approx) Site area (approx) Annual Patronage Target (APT) Must demonstrate significant localised community patronage or benefit and do not reduce the viability of the publicly accessible aquatic facilities within the region. n/a n/a n/a Approx 1: 20,000 un-serviced population Notional catchment area 5 km (primary) and 10 km (secondary) 500 m 2 10,000 m 2 minimum Approx 60,000 persons p.a. Approx catchment 1:50,000 un-serviced Notional catchment area 10 km 1,500 m 2 15,000 m 2 Approx 200,000 persons p.a.

5.2 Site selection considerations A site selection criterion has been developed to provide council with guidance when considering and selecting sites for future aquatic facilities. This criterion covers a range of important aspects to consider when locating or upgrading aquatic facilities. Table 14: Site selection criteria considerations Site selection criteria considerations Unsuitable land Area/spatial Amenity impact Well connected Compatible uses Unsuitable land includes: ►► erosion prone ►► lies below the 100 year Annual Return Interval ►► principally for drainage purposes or detention basin ►► contaminated site or contains hazards that pose a safety risk to potential users including transformer or high voltage power lines ►► is required for storm water treatment or is an easement over sewage/water lines or other underground utilities or services (refer to Open Space Strategy for full land suitability criteria). Minimum usable unconstrained required area is 10000 m² (district minor) which includes: ►► requirements for car parking ►► emergency vehicle access ►► pedestrian pathways within the complex ►► equitable access designs ►► landscape buffers ►► space for sustainable initiatives i.e. solar, backwash water recycling. Need to assess physical constraints to ensure these will not inhibit facility functionality. Aquatic facilities can create a level of noise that could be considered excessive in relation to adjoining sensitive land uses. Consideration needs to be given to the land uses sharing a boundary with a potential site and if the facility is likely to cause impacts that will not be able to be mitigated. Also consider any impacts a new facility may have on the visual amenity and character of the area. A potential facility site should be in proximity to existing or proposed active and public transport networks. Other community infrastructure such as libraries, youth spaces, neighbourhood centres, active recreation facilities, skate parks, business centres, schools and shopping centres are highly compatible.
