2.2 Site History / Existing Use

The two Council-owned parcels of land are both currently vacant and largely
undisturbed by human habitation with no recorded prior development of the site.

2.3 Site Locality / Surrounding Land Uses

The site is located in an existing low density residential neighbourhood with direct
road frontage to both Grasstree Court and Ben Lexcen Drive on land gently sloping
down east to west towards the nearby wetlands of the National Park. The site is
covered in sand dunes and native vegetation and is well located close to a nearby
church, school, public bus transport, aquatic centre and community shopping centre.
The site is already serviced although upgrades may be required to some existing
service connections to support the increased demand from the development.

2.4 Site Analysis

The dunal site is located in the western portion of Sunrise Beach between the
existing residential area and the Noosa National Park. The Sunshine Beach State High
School is located immediately to the north of the site while the large southern lot is
also bounded to the south by the national park. A small community shopping centre
is located adjacent to the north east corner of the site and a Uniting Church is
located at the western end of Grasstree Court.

The land surface is currently vegetated with native scrubland atop coastal sand
deposits and both lots have slopes of approximately 5%, with Lot 6 draining to the
north and Lot 1 west towards Burgess Creek located in the Noosa National Park.
