 Figure 4.1: Proposed subject site and location of facility (Source:http://qspatiaLinformation.qld.gov.auIlQAtlas/)


The site is located approximately 1 km north west of the Soreen Point township, and 9.5
km north of Cooroibah. The subject site borders rural residential allotments to the south,
Lake Flat Rd to the north and east, and large agricultural properties to the west which are
predominantly used for pine tree plantations and conservation land. The subject site is
currently used for farming purposes, predominantly forestry and logging. The site contains
an ancillary shed in the middle of the lot and an energex electricity network which runs

from north to south through the middle of the site. The subject site is heavily vegetated
which will provide for screening benefits. There are three existing residential dwellings
