been lodged to facilitate the proposal including:
    MCU12/0013 for the playground itself
    MCU12/0012 for the associated car parking
Both applications were lodged under The Noosa Plan 2006 and so must be assessed against the
Noosa Plan 2006 with regard had to the Noosa Plan 2020.
MCU12/0013 – Playground
This application seeks to establish a playground at 1, 3 and 9 Maple Street Cooroy and accordingly
seeks approval from Council for a Development Permit for a Material Change of Use for Open
Space – Type 1 Sport and Recreation.
The applicant advises that the playground includes a number of different play areas including frog
pond, water play, climbing and event precincts. An amenities building is proposed along the Marara
Street frontage with picnic shelters located around the site. These structures include pitched roof
forms, green roofs and timber screening.
The playground features timber towers, slides, and walkways within a landscaped setting. A sketch
of indicative features is provided below:
The playground and associated pathways link into the existing pathways to the north and south.
