                                                             Planning Report



The proposed facility represents a response to the development and growth of the township of Cooroy. The
increased demand on the existing telecommunications network and new requirements for data enabled
’smart phones’ inform the necessity for this new facility.

The proposal has been assessed against the relevant Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions of the
Cooroy and Lake Macdonald Locality Code in Appendix 2 of this report.


6.5                 Codes
The following Codes from the Planning Scheme have been identified as being applicable to the application:

     Cooroy and Lake Macdonald Locality Code;

     Infrastructure Uses Code; and

     Planning Scheme Policy 23                          -
                                                             Telecommunication Towers.



6.6                 Overlays
The following Overlays from the Planning Scheme have been identified                                                    as   being applicable   to the
application:
     Local Heritage and Character Overlay;

The abovementioned Overlay applicable to the site is further investigated as follows:


6.6.1              Local Heritage and Character Overlay

The site is identified on the Local Heritage and Character Overlay as containing land within the character
area   (refer to Figure 7).

The Maple Street Character Area is focused around the historic business centre of Cooroy and extends from
Marara St in the north to Crystal Street in the south and includes 9-73 Maple Street and 19 Crystal Street.
The character area contains a number of business, community and residential buildings remaining from the
early to mid-twentieth century, which influence the character of this area. The heritage overlay code specifies
that development is to ’be sympathetic to the main streetscape. Specifically, new building works are to be
located at the rear of sites or where least visible from the streetscape. The                                            proposal adheres to these
objectives.
