Planning Report - 6-10 Diamond Street, Cooroy 27.12.18

Zoning

As illustrated in Figure 3 in Section 4 of this report, the subject site is zoned as Community Services. The zoning
of the site as determined by the Noosa Plan 2006 is reflective of the then existing Energex building and related
infrastructure. The following is an extract from the Pre-lodgement Meeting Notes (PLM18/0026):
        ADVICE & INFORMATION
        1. The proposed shop & salon (convenience store), entertainment and dining business and commercial
        business type 1 are inconsistent in the Community Services zone.
        2. Commercial businesses 2 and 3 are consistent uses.
        3. It was discussed that multiple housing type 4 (shop top dwellings) may be incorporated, in which
        case are inconsistent.
        4. Notwithstanding the above comments, the existing Community Services zone reflects the previous
        infrastructure use of the site. The proposed development (after addressing any issues raised) is
        generally a reasonable reuse of the site. Should multiple dwellings type 4 be proposed, they should
        meet the provisions of small dwelling units of The Noosa Plan.
