3.     BACKGROUND

Lot 135 on MCH978 is under the ownership of the Queensland Government and was
previously used by the Department of Transport & Main Roads as a gravel reserve.
The gravel reserve then discontinued use and was rehabilitated where the quarry
was filled with material and the site was vegetated.

On the 14th of June 2013, approval was given for the subdivision of Lot 136 on
MCH978 into 4 Lots that front onto Lake Macdonald Drive and a Balance Lot (Ref:
REC13/0015).

On the 19th of November 2013, Lot 135 was the subject of a Development
Application for Preliminary Approval for a material change of use for the purposes of
detached housing.

On the 20th of November 2013 an application was lodged over Lots 136 & 137 on
MCH978 and Lot 2 on RP173883 for a subdivision to create 17 new lots and a
balance lot (REC13/0146). It is from this Application that Proposed Lot 32 on the
Reconfiguration of Lot 136 is derived.


4.     ADJOINING LAND USES

The adjoining properties are generally used for residential purposes. Several
properties to the north contain Detached Housing and there is a property to the south
that contains medium density development. Several other properties in the area are
zoned as Community Services for the purposes of transport and schools. The North
Coast Railway line is located on the other side of Elm Street.


5.     PROPOSAL

The applicant also seeks to apply for a Development Permit to Subdivide the subject
property to create 24 lots. The proposed Lot layout is shown on the Plan of Proposed
Reconfiguration (Ref: 10-3032AQ) attached as Appendix B.
