Planning Report - 6-10 Diamond Street, Cooroy 27.12.18

4. Characteristics of Site and Surrounds
Site Characteristics

The land which is subject of this report (i.e. the site) is located at 6, 8 and 10 Diamond Street, Cooroy and is
formally described as Lots 703, 704 and 705 on C5602 as shown on Figure 1 Site Location Plan and Figure 2
Cadastral Plan.
The site comprises a total area of 3,030.8m2 and is described as Lots 703, 704 and 705 on C5602. There are no
existing easements encumbering or benefitting the site.
The northern boundary of the site fronts onto Diamond Street and provides direct access to the site. Additional
access to the site is provided via Diamond Lane at the rear of site. The site is constrained by a sewer line that is
located 22 metres from the eastern boundary. The proposal incorporates a design which has addressed this
constraint.
Three buildings currently occupy the site in addition to hardstand area and ancillary storage structures. The
site has been previously cleared of all native vegetation.

Whilst the site is located within the Community Service Zone of the Cooroy and Lake MacDonald locality, the
immediate adjoining properties have been developed for a mixture of shops, services and community facilities.
Whilst it is acknowledged the subject site is zoned as Community Services, the proposal is an appropriate use
in relation to the surrounding development located within the Business Centre Zone.
The site is well connected with major transport infrastructure (Cooroy Train Station) and active transport
facilities within close proximity.
