EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Director Corporate Services and Project Officer to the Special
Meeting dated 31 August 2018 regarding potential uses for the former Tewantin TAFE site located
at 24 Cooroy Noosa Road, Tewantin and agree for Council staff to continue negotiations with the
Queensland Government regarding the future of the site.



REPORT
Background

In February 2002 the Queensland Government (the state) gave notice of the designation of land
situated at 24 Cooroy Noosa Road, Tewantin for the purposes of “community infrastructure –
education facilities”. The designation was at the time made under section 2.6.1(1) of the Integrated
Planning Act 1997 (the Act). Section 2.6.11 of the Act also required Council to note the designation
on its planning scheme.

In 2004 a purpose built Technical and Further Education (TAFE) campus was constructed on the
site. The land comprises 11.04 hectares with approximately 1.56 hectares utilised for the campus
footprint. The remaining 9.48 hectares of land area is heavily vegetated with much of it considered
to have high biodiversity environmental value.

As the site was subject to a Ministerial designation for “community infrastructure – education
facilities”, no development application was required for the TAFE. Ministerial designations will
ordinarily lapse after six years unless extended. It is understood that the Ministerial designation for
community infrastructure on this site has lapsed and therefore the land is subject to the Noosa
Planning Scheme.
