6.5.2 Zoning

As the site is located within the road reserve, Section 2.10 of the Planning Scheme applies which
states –

2.10.1 If a road, watercourse or reclaimed land is not shown as being covered by a zone on the
zone maps, the following applies—
    a) if the road, watercourse or reclaimed land is adjoined on both sides by land in the same
        zone—the road, watercourse or reclaimed land has the same zoning as the adjoining land;
    b) if the road, watercourse or reclaimed land is adjoined on one side by land in a zone and
        adjoined on the other side by land in another zone—the road, watercourse or reclaimed
        land has the same zoning as the adjoining land and the centreline of the road or
        watercourse is the boundary between the two zones;

2.10.2 To remove any doubt, it is declared that subsection 2.10.1 also applies to a closed road if
the road is closed after the commencement of the planning scheme.

Therefore as Davis Road reserve is adjoined by ‘Rural’ zoned land, the site will be zoned as ‘Boreen
Point, Kin Kin & Cootharaba locality – Rural Zone’ under The Noosa Plan 2009.

The proposed Material Change of Use for a ‘Type 3 Tower’ will be Impact Assessable
(Inconsistent) within this zone according Table 8.1 of the Noosa Plan 2009. Figure 6.3 below
indicates the zoning of the site.
