     That Council note the report by the Coordinator of Planning to the Planning & Environment
     Committee Meeting 7 March 2017 regarding Application No. MCU16/0117 & OPW16/0212
     for a Development Permit for a Material Change of Use - Multiple housing Type 4 -
     Conventional (4 units) situated at 11 Opal Street, Cooroy and:
     A.     Approve the application in accordance with the conditions contained in the Planning &
            Environment Committee Agenda dated 7 March 2017.
     B.     Find the following are sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict with
            the Planning Scheme:
            1.    The Sport and Active Recreation Strategy identifies that the subject land is
                  surplus to Open Space Recreation land in Cooroy;
            2.    The Open Space Strategy identifies that additional land is required further north,
                  towards Cooroy’s residential growth areas along Lake Macdonald Drive and
                  Pearsons Road;
            3.    The proposed development provides smaller dwellings with varying bedroom
                  configurations which improves housing choice and is identified as community
                  benefit by Councils Strategic Land Use Planning Section.
            4.    The proposed dwelling types are broadly consistent with the character provisions
                  of the locality; and
            5.    The proposal is consistent with the Preliminary Approval which is valid until 31
                  October 2019.
