1.2        Subject Site
The subject site is located at 468-472 McKinnon Drive, Cooroibah, within the NSC. The site has a total area of
approximately 3.9 hectares and is situated 11km west from Noosa Headlands.
The site is irregular in shape with a private road network located in 468 Mckinnon Drive that directly connects to
McKinnon Drive. The Noosa Plan 2020 (NP2020), the local government instrument relevant to assessment of
development on the site, maps the site as Rural Residential Zone. Surrounding land uses include rural residential zoned
properties on acreage, with the Tewantin National Park located South of McKinnon Drive.
The site comprises a residential dwelling in the central extent of the site with associated ancillary structures including a
swimming pool and car shed. The site additionally holds horse stables in the central southern extent of the site. The
vegetation communities within the subject site comprise regrowth vegetation bordering the site with a regularly
maintained grassland and cultivated gardens surrounding the dwelling and driveway. A dam is located in the
northeastern extent of the site and connects to a mapped waterway traversing the site boundary in a northeasterly
direction.
