3.   SITE DETAILS
3.1. Site Description
The subject site is located at 25 Tulip Street, Cooroy, on Lot 58 RP 32777, and as such is located
within the Cooroy Local Plan Area. The land area is 1533m2. The subject site is of a regular,
rectangular lot shape with a consistent width of approximately 20m, a length of approximately 75m,
and a vertical, northeast-southwest orientation. The site has an existing dwelling house towards
the south which fronts Tulip Street, with an approximate setback of 13m and an approximate
frontage of 20m. The site cover of the existing dwelling house is approximately 14%. There is also
an existing shed which falls within the new proposed northern lot.
The backyard to the north makes up most of the site area, which constitutes where the new
boundary is proposed to occur. While most of the site’s open space is cleared, there is some
vegetation, however none is mapped under the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay
Map. The site falls within both the Water Resource Catchment and the Water Supply Buffer Area
under the Regional Infrastructure Overlay Map. A small area within the new proposed northern lot
is defined as a Moderate Hazard Area under the Landslide Hazard Overlay Map. The site is not
subject to any other overlays.
The subject site is serviced by standard urban infrastructure services including reticulated water
and sewerage supply, telecommunications, electricity supply. The sewerage infrastructure
transects the site to the rear of existing dwelling.

secondary dwellings or relatively large outbuildings. At the eastern edge of the block is a strip of
Medium Density Residential zoning. Further to the east and north is more Low Density Residential

the south of the site is Noosa District High School, with a shed and the school oval directly facing
the site.
