Figure 1 – Site location

The site is of a regular shape and slopes from western boundary down to the eastern beachfront boundary.
Vegetation includes a range of coastal species with the area adjacent to the access easement partially
disturbed. No structures are located on site.

The site is accessed via an access handle which extends from the northern end of Seaview Terrace. The site
is serviced by all essential urban infrastructure including reticulated water supply, sewerage, underground
telecommunications and overhead electricity cables, stormwater drainage and a bitumen roadway.

The general character of the area is that of residential dwellings of differing building styles. The site
enjoys direct views to Sunshine Beach and shares a common boundary with a dwelling to the south and

boundary adjoining Noosa National Park.
