 TYPE 2 Caravan Park- The use of premises for the parking of caravans for the purpose of providing accommodation. The use
 includes communal facilities for the exclusive use of occupants of the caravan park. The use includes the use of camping areas
 and cabins for short-term accommodation where they are ancillary to the provision of caravan sites. The use also includes a
 caretaker’s residence and office, any amenity buildings and any recreation and entertainment facilities that cater exclusively
 for the occupants of the caravan park.




7.9.2 Zone
The subject site is included with the Rural Zone. These areas are intended to be protected and
appropriately managed such that scenic and environmental values, the distinct rural amenity of the
locality and agricultural productivity of the locality are preserved and are not adversely impacted upon as
a consequence of development on or adjacent to that land.

The intended development may be considered to be in part conflict with the intent of the Rural Zone
given the range of uses proposed, however it is noted the site-
    
 is not considered to hold significant scenic value due in part to the significant clearing previously
        undertaken on the site, its location adjacent to the major road network, its location adjacent to
        the existing urban development and its inclusion within the Urban Footprint;
    
 the predominant environmental values lie within the waterway corridor at the southern end of
        the site. The development seeks to preserve and enhance these values through rehabilitation
        and maintenance of this natural corridor;
    
 distinct rural amenity of the locality and agricultural productivity are not evident on this site
        partly due to its location between the single main road into Cooroy and the Bruce Highway and
        relationship to the existing urban area of Cooroy. The use of this site for agricultural purposes
        would be unlikely. Furthermore, the site is included wholly within the Urban Footprint of the SEQ
        Regional Plan and is in part contained within the Urban designation under the Noosa Plan
        Strategic Map.

7.9.3 Strategic Intent

The Noosa Plan Strategy Map (refer Figure 7 below) includes the land within the Urban, Rural and Areas
of Ecological significance designations.
