Green light for Business Centre development
|
Council has reached an agreement with Stockwell Developments to enable the first stage of the Shire Business Centre to proceed.
It paves the way for the ultimate layout of the large site, including new road connections – with the extension of Hofmann Drive through to Walter Hay Drive – plus creation of several large lots.
Stockwell Developments will transfer a 4912sqm lot to Council for a regional transit centre within the business centre precinct.
In exchange, Council will fund the koala offset planting required under the planning scheme and the state legislation in place when the plans for the Stockwell site were lodged.
“This is a first step in delivering the vision, as outlined in the Noosa Plan 2020, for this important precinct,” Mayor Clare Stewart said.
“The planning scheme calls for a vibrant major centre for business and innovation that also provides for affordable housing choices, and offers a village atmosphere.
“The conditions agreed to by Stockwell are extensive. It’s very heartening that we’ve been able to reach a settlement in mediation without proceeding to a costly court battle.” Read more.

Cap to keep residents safe
|
|
A cap of 500 people will apply to major events held on public land in Noosa, at least until February, as Council looks to protect the community from COVID-19 outbreaks.
Mayor Clare Stewart said Council was committed to ensuring major iconic events such as the Noosa Tri still had a future, and would revisit the decision in February.
“As hard as it is to put a cap on major events, keeping our community safe remains our top priority while we continue to see outbreaks of the virus around the country." Read more.
