2.3. Site Description
The site consists of two large lots comprising a total of 3,750m² in area. Thomas Street (45 metres)
is the western frontage, Gympie Terrace (69 metres) northern frontage and Albert Street (64
metres) the eastern frontage. A combined road frontage of 178 metres.
203 Gympie Terrace (located at the corner of Thomas Street and Gympie Terrace) is the larger lot
and contains predominantly single storey commercial developments consisting of Food and drink
outlets, Office, Indoor sport and recreation, Health care and Shop uses.
207 Gympie Terrace (located at the northeast corner of Gympie Terrace and Albert Steet) is vacant
and was formerly used as a Service station and car wash. The site is contained on the Queensland
Environmental Management Register and is recorded as a notifiable activity subject to hazardous
contaminants. Being a former service station, the hazardous contaminants relate to hydrocarbons.
A separate Material change of use (code assessment) will be required to be made to the Chief
executive (SARA) which will require the Environmental Management Register to confirm that the
premises is suitable for the proposed use in accordance with a site-specific suitability statement.
At this time a site suitability statement has not been approved. A condition has been included within
the recommendation which requires confirmation that a site suitability statement has been
approved prior to granting any Operational works approval.
The entire site and land to the northeast and southwest are contained within the Tourist
accommodation zone and the Noosaville local plan area, see below Figure 7.
Existing vegetation at the site comprise two mature Poincianas trees located at the corner of
Thomas Street and Gympie Terrace. The trees are located just within the site and are intended to
be retained to complement the existing adjacent Bottle Brush trees within the Thomas Street road
reserve. Existing mature Melaleuca, Ficus and Eucalyptus vegetation is located at the northern
and southeastern corners of the site and will be required to be removed as part of the
redevelopment.
