The Capricorn Coastal Village Local Bruce Aulabaugh Structure Plan No.44 (LSP) has been Traffic Consultant produced in Two Parts.

EPCAD Part One is the Statutory Planning Landscape Architects Section. McMullen Nolan and Partners Part Two provides a detailed Surveyors explanation of the Structure Plan and Surveyors the various modifications that have occurred or are proposed.

In order to provide a single consolidated document, the explanatory report from Amendment 3, which was effectively a revised structure plan, and Amendments 4-9 have been retained for reference.

Volume 2 (bound separately) contains a number of technical reports which remain relevant.

5.4 Public Open Space The retention of the significant dunal landform and vegetation has remained a central priority, therefore, the eastern face of the central dune and the grove of trees is proposed to be ceded to the Crown as public open space, enabling this key landscape character element to be retained. The grove will offer a grassed kickabout space protected from the strong sea breeze.

The eastern face of the dune is no longer vegetated and is currently used by children for sandboarding. With effective management and erosion control this could continue to be used as a recreational feature, or alternatively the dune could be revegetated.

The re-design also reduces the number of smaller pocket parks in the locality, providing a hierarchy of public spaces and improved opportunities of retaining natural features within public spaces. The provision of the large central parkland and modifications to smaller areas of open space within the amendment area retains the overall provision of POS within the Structure Plan at 13%. Please refer to Figure 5 and Tables 1 and 2 for updated POS plan, Land use Area calculations and POS schedule proposed through amendment 6.

5.5 Centre Zones The design of the Neighbourhood Centre remains predominantly unchanged, and any substantive modifications do not form part of this amendment. However, the edges have been adjusted slightly in order to integrate with the re-designed residential area and the boundaries of the Neighbourhood Centre and Coastal Node have been adjusted so that it corresponds to the new street and laneway alignments. The Coastal Node has undergone a more substantial amendment, which offers an improved and logical transition from the mixed-use centres to the residential areas. The new Coastal Node Centre Structure Plan has been submitted concurrently with this amendment and an amendment to the Neighbourhood Centre will be undertaken to reflect the redesign.
