Notice of Intent to Amend Caloundra City Council Planning Scheme 1996
In accordance with the Statutory Guideline 02/12 and section 117 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, Council advises that at the Ordinary Meeting of Sunshine Coast Council on 15 November 2012, it was resolved to publicly notify a draft amendment to Caloundra City Council Planning Scheme 1996.
The purpose and general effect of the draft amendment is to amend Caloundra City Council Planning Scheme 1996 to reflect the provisions of Temporary Local Planning Instrument No. 2 – Caloundra City Council Planning Scheme 1996 (2012).
The draft amendment proposes to expedite business and economic development opportunities at Kawana Town Centre, land adjacent to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital and undeveloped areas of Birtinya more generally, in anticipation of the delivery timeline for the Sunshine Coast University Hospital by:
- amending the Master Planning Community Development Process for the Transit Precinct to expedite the planning and delivery of State Government infrastructure;
- introducing five new Detailed Planning Areas that supports the delivery of wider housing choice throughout Birtinya;
- preserving a future public transport corridor to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital; and
- amending the master planning process for the Town Centre and Health Hub to include these areas within the Detailed Planning Areas.
The draft amendment proposes to change the underlying zoning from Residential ‘A” to Special Development Zone for certain areas. These areas include proposed Detailed Planning Area 11 (Birtinya) Detailed Planning Area 12 (Health Hub) Detailed Planning Area 13 (Town Centre) Detailed Planning Area 14 (Birtinya Peninsular) Detailed Planning Area 15 (Birtinya Island East) and the Transit Precinct.
The draft amendment variously amends the provisions in Caloundra City Council Planning Scheme 1996 including Development Control Plan 1-Kawana Waters to ensure consistency with the above outcomes and the South East Queensland Regional Plan.
The draft amendment applies to land affected by Development Control Plan No. 1 Kawana Waters.
Council’s Explanatory Statement outlines the draftamendment in full.
The draft amendment (and Explanatory Statement) will be available for viewing and purchase at council’s customer service centres during the consultation period from Monday 29July to Friday 6 September 2013.
