Planning Report - 6-10 Diamond Street, Cooroy 27.12.18

Past and Existing Uses

The subject site is located within the Community Service Zone. Historically the site was zoned Community
Service as a result of the existing Energex power infrastructure. During the process of the new Noosa planning
scheme, discussions were had in regards to rezoning the subject site to be included within the Business Centre
Zone. The rezoning of the subject site would reflect the surrounding development and provide opportunities
for new uses to better service the community, particularly the residents to the east.
The subject site is serviced by standard community infrastructure including reticulated water supply and
sewerage, telecommunications and electricity, and bitumen roadways.
