               The application seeks approval for Reconfiguring a Lot – 1 Lot into 6 Lots (including drainage and
               park lots).
               The proposed reconfiguration seeks to create 3 englobo lots and will involve the following areas
               and purpose:

                Lot                               Area                              Purpose

                Lot 1 (englobo lot)               3,158m2                           Housing

                Lot 2 (englobo lot)               6,281m2                           Subject to further discussion
                                                                                    and community consultation
                Lot 3(englobo lot)                7,917m2

                Lot 100                           1 hectare (balance lot)           Future cemetery expansion

                Lot 101                           1,542m2                           Parkland

                Lot 900                           471m2                             Bioretention basin

               The development involves the construction of a new road intersecting with Dianella Court.
               The creation of the new road will include 12 on-street car parking spaces and a 2-metre-wide
               concrete footpath linking with the existing footpath along Lake Macdonald Drive.
               A tee-head turnaround bay will abut proposed Lot 2 and 101 to facilitate a turnaround area for
               vehicles and particularly waste management.
               A landscaped buffer of 5-10 metres within the new road reserve is proposed along the site’s eastern
               boundary to provide a visual buffer to the neighbouring low-density residential zone .
               The subject site has access to all urban services including reticulated water, sewer, electricity, and
               telecommunications and will be connected as part of this subdivision process.

               2.     APPLICATION BACKGROUND


               An action of the Noosa Housing Strategy 2022 was to investigate sites for housing opportunities,
               including the subject Council-owned land at 62 Lake Macdonald Drive, Cooroy.

                      At its Ordinary Meeting on January 23, 2025, Council approved all remediation and
                      subdivision works for the revised subdivision layout (PDF, 394KB), including Lot 1 for social
                      housing. Any future uses of the remaining two lots are to investigate options including
                      consideration of open space, cultural heritage, housing, community uses, landscaping and
                      amenity and other land use planning matters. This process will involve community
                      consultation.
                      At its Ordinary Meeting on May 16, 2024, Council approved the land to be remediated,
                      subdivided, and the proposed Lot 1 sold to Coast2Bay Housing Group. Coast2Bay is a local
                      Tier 1 not-for-profit Community Housing Provider which has been successful in obtaining
                      funding from the State Government for 25 community housing units. Council signed a
                      Memorandum of Understanding with Coast2Bay in 2022 and they are a key member of
                      Council’s Housing Stakeholder Reference Group. A strong working relationship with their
                      team has helped pave the way for the delivery of this project.
                      At its Ordinary meeting on December 14, 2023, Council approved in-principle support to
                      dispose of proposed Lot 1 (3,158m²) of the residential subdivision to an appropriate
                      community organisation to ensure the delivery of social and/or affordable housing onsite.
               On 17 June 2022, a development permit for building works (Storage shed) was approved (Council
               ref: BA22/0002).
                On 2 September 2024, a development permit for a 1 Lot into 2 Lot subdivision was approved
               (Council ref. RAL24/0014). The approval created proposed Lot 100 and a balance lot, Lot 2, refer
               to Figure 3. The new lots have been registered.




                                                                                                     Page 4 of 61

               On 9 February 2024, a development permit for Operational Works (clearing vegetation) was
               approved. This approval only applies to plantation vegetation and has a currency period of 2 years
               (Council ref: OPW23/0190).

               3.     SITE DETAILS
               3.1. Site History
               Historical titles indicates the site was used for landfill between 1912 and 1958 – disposing of waste
               (excluding inert construction and demolition waste).
               3.2. Site Description
               The subject site has an area of 3.53ha and is an irregular shaped allotment with 176m frontage to
               Lake Macdonald Rd and 46m frontage to Dianella Ct. The site is located on the side of a hill which
               includes gentle slopes (<10%) to the north and northeast. Access is limited to Lake Macdonald Rd
               due a cutting along this frontage. A small drainage line is also present through the central part of
               the site.
               The site comprises an existing shed towards the site’s western boundary which is also the top of
               the hill. The remainder of the site is a mixture of open grassland and slash pine and Gympie
               messmates over the southern portion of the site that are both plantation timber and were planted
               in 1973/74 for future harvesting and reducing weed infestation at the time. These species are not
               endemic to the area and accordingly Council has recently obtained a tree clearing permit
               (OPW23/0190).
               The site does comprise contaminated land involving a previous landfill operation under the slash
               pine over the southern portion of the site and nightsoil disposal over the cleared northern portion
               of the site. The site is listed on the Environmental Management Register but is proposed to be fully
               remediated prior to sealing of the plans and the commencement of any future land uses.

               4.     ASSESSMENT
               4.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
               statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
               •    State Planning Policy;
               •    South East Queensland Regional Plan;
               •    Planning Regulation 2017; and
               •    Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020).
               4.2. State Planning Policy
               Part 2 of Noosa Plan states that the Planning Minister is satisfied that the State Planning Policy
               (SPP) dated July 2017 is appropriately integrated in the Noosa Council's planning scheme, except
               the Natural hazards, risk and resilience - coastal hazards - in part.
               A review of the SPP’s state interest indicates that the benchmarks for water quality will apply as
               the application involves a reconfiguration of a lot greater than 2,500m2 in area and seeks to create
               6 or more allotments. The water quality requirements have been suitably addressed through the
               installation of a bio retention basin (Proposed Lot 900) in the northern corner of the site.
               Accordingly, the proposal suitably addresses the requirements of the State Planning Policy.
               4.3. South East Queensland Regional Plan
               The subject site is located within the Urban footprint under the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposed
               subdivision is for an urban purpose and as such is consistent with the intent of the SEQ Regional
               Plan.
               4.4.    Planning Regulation 2017
               A review of the Planning Regulation indicates that the application is not required to be referred to
               the State. It is noted that the site is listed on Environmental Management Register (EMR) due to
               the site’s past history being used for landfill site between 1912 and 1958. Despite this, only MCU
               application’s are required to be referred to the State in accordance with the requirements of
               schedule 10 of the Planning Regulation 2017. Therefore, any future use application will trigger
               refer to the State unless the site is suitably remediated to remove the EMR status.
               4.5. Noosa Plan 2020
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •    Community Facilities Zone Code;
               •    Cooroy Local Plan Code;
               •    Reconfiguring a Lot Code;
               •    Works Codes;
               •    Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Code;
               •    Flood Hazard Overlay Code.


               The subject site is located in Cooroy and is zoned Community Facilities. The proposed
               reconfiguration is required to follow a code assessable application process.

                                                                                                     Page 7 of 61

               The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments, those
               requiring commentary are detailed below:
               4.5.1 Cooroy Local Plan Code
               The purpose of the Cooroy local plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions for the
               assessment of development with the Cooroy local plan area.
               The purpose of the code will be achieved through compliance with the relevant overall outcomes
               and assessment benchmarks of the code.
               The Cooroy local plan area includes the following relevant overall outcomes:-
                    •    Cooroy is a vibrant, energetic country town servicing the Noosa hinterland and its own
                         growing community and provides services and facilities to meet the community needs whilst
                         retaining its character and protecting the natural and heritage values of the area.
                    •    Development is limited to land within the urban boundary and maintains a defined edge to
                         the town to protect and reinforce the character and identity of Cooroy.
                    •    Development is sited and designed to protect ecologically important areas, retain
                         landscape and built form elements, including significant views and vistas to external
                         elements, that contributes to the setting, character and identity of Cooroy as a town with a
                         strong sense of place and associations with the past.
                    •    The protection of water quality within Lake Macdonald and waterways
                    •    Development maintains and reflects the form and scale of development in Cooroy as a
                         modern country town with low density, low rise buildings that cover a comparatively small
                         area of a site leaving significant areas for landscaping and private open space.
                    •    A diverse range of community services
               A comprehensive assessment against the assessment benchmarks of the code is provided below.
               An assessment of the application against the Cooroy local plan code demonstrates that the
               proposal is consistent with the relevant assessment benchmarks and overall outcomes of the code.
               4.5.2     Community Facility Zone Code
               The purpose of the community facilities zone code is to provide for community-related uses,
               activities and facilities, whether publicly or privately owned, including for example:
                    a) educational establishments;
                    b) hospitals;
                    c) transport and telecommunication networks; and
                    d) utility installations.
               The overall outcomes sought for the Community Facilities zone are as follows:
                    • The Community Facilities zone primarily accommodates a variety of community related
                      activities and infrastructure, as well as certain special residential and recreation uses to meet
                      the current and future needs of the community.
                    • Development provides for the continued use of community land for the specific purpose
                      annotated on the zone map, and where the use is no longer meeting a community need, is
                      replaced with another community related activity.
                    • Development for community activities provides opportunities for growth in artistic, cultural,
                      social and community services
                    • A range of community activities such as cemeteries, childcare centres, clubs (where in
                      conjunction with a community use), community care centres, community uses, crematoriums,
                      educational establishments, emergency services, funeral parlours, healthcare services,
                      hospitals and places of worship are accommodated in the zone.


                                                                                                         Page 8 of 61

                    • Community activities are located to optimise their accessibility, operational efficiency and
                         benefit to the community.
                    • Development does not limit the ongoing operation and expansion of an existing community
                         facility or prejudice the establishment of a new facility.
                    • Development for infrastructure activities results in a clear demarcation between public and
                      private spaces and protects public safety.
                    • Community activities provide an attractive, safe, pedestrian friendly environment and
                      integrate with surrounding land uses.
                    • Where appropriate, compatible community and recreation related activities and facilities are
                      co-located.
                    • Adverse impacts on ecologically important areas, including natural habitats, bushland,
                      wetlands and waterways are avoided or minimised.
               Refer below to a complete assessment against the assessment benchmarks of the code.
               An assessment of the application against the Community Facilities zone code demonstrates that
               the proposed Reconfiguring a lot application has been prepared in such a way to accommodate
               future community uses which will require further application. The proposed subdivision is
               consistent with the relevant assessment benchmarks and overall outcomes of the code.
               4.5.3 Reconfiguring a Lot Code
               The purpose of the Reconfiguring a lot code is to ensure that development:
                    a) results in lots that are appropriate for their intended use;
                    b) contributes to a high standard of amenity;
                    c) results in lots that are consistent with the desired character of the local area ensuring high
                       quality urban design outcomes;
                    d) is responsive to site constraints;
                    e) maintains or improves environmental values and avoids adverse off-site environmental
                       impacts;
                    f)    provides lawful, safe and practical access arrangements; and
                    g) provides infrastructure and services to new lots.


               The purpose will be achieved through compliance with the overall outcomes and the assessment
               benchmarks of the code. The reconfiguring a lot code includes the following overall outcomes:
                    •     Development provides for lots that are of a size and have dimensions that are appropriate
                          for their intended use and are consistent with the sizes of surrounding lots.
                    •     Development provides for lots which are responsive to local character and site constraints.
                    •     Development avoids significant adverse effects on the natural environment and landscape
                          including waterways, drainage lines, wetlands and other ecologically important areas.
                    •     Development provides for subdivisions that result in the creation of safe and healthy
                          communities by:
                          a)   avoiding or mitigating the risk to people and property from natural hazards;
                          b)   ensuring lots have a suitable and safe means of access to a public road;
                          c)   promoting walking, cycling and the use of public transport;
                          d)   providing appropriate infrastructure, including reticulated water and sewerage (where
                               available), sealed roads, pedestrian and bicycle paths, urban and non-urban open
                               space and community facilities in urban areas;



                                                                                                          Page 9 of 61

               A complete assessment against the assessment benchmarks of the code is provided below.
               The Reconfiguring a lot code does not include any minimum lot size in the community facilities
               zone. The proposal seeks to create englobo lots which are suitably sized lots for future community
               uses that will likely be subject to separate assessment via a new application. An assessment
               against the assessment benchmarks demonstrates that the proposal is consistent with the relevant
               performance outcomes sought by the code.
               4.6 Key issues
               4.6.1 Contaminated Land
               The site was identified as being a former municipal landfill site from 1912-1958. This has led to
               the site being listed on the Queensland Government’s - Environment Management Register (EMR)
               as a contaminated site. The applicant has engaged a suitably qualified environmental consultancy
               to undertake a contaminated land detailed site investigation to assist with the future redevelopment
               of the site.
               The Detailed Site Contamination Investigation prepared by Environmental advisors on 12/06/24
               (Ref: DSI 12032024 Rev 0) confirms the historic use of the site for landfill. The reporting concludes
               that site remediation (or management for less sensitive uses) will be required under all future land
               uses scenarios. As such the report recommended that a Remediation Action Plan be prepared to
               support the future redevelopment of the site.
               No referral to the State was required for this application for contaminated land matters under
               schedule 10 of the Planning Regulations as this only applies to MCU applications.
               4.6.2 Landslide Hazard
               The subject site contains mapped areas of moderate landslide hazard areas. The site drops from
               the southwestern portion of the site (in proximity to the existing shed) down to the Lake Macdonald
               road frontage at an approximate 11% slope, and to the Dianella Court frontage at an approximate
               8% slope. The mapping appears to reflect a small gully / overland flow path traversing lot proposed
               2.
               Mapped landslide hazard areas are also identified on Lot 100 near the MacDonald Rd road
               frontage and around the bioretention basin. Some minor filling is proposed to occur over Lot 2 and
               construction of the new road will be assessed as part of the subsequent associated operational
               works approval process.
               Typically, the landslide hazard mapping would trigger the requirement for a geotechnical
               assessment to be undertaken to ensure site stability and compliance with PO1. Council’s
               engineering officers have assessed the proposal and have not requested that a geotechnical report
               to ensure compliance with PO1 of the Landslide Hazard Code. This matter can be further reviewed
               and assessed as part of the future operational works application.
               4.6.3 Flood Hazard
               An area of 100m2 in the northern corner of the development is identified within the Flood Hazard
               Overlay. No new lots will be located within land identified within the Flood Hazard Overlay with the
               exception of proposed Lot 900, the future bioretention basin.
               The creation of the drainage lot does not increase the risk to people or property. The findings of
               the flood hazard assessment requires additional drainage infrastructure within this location which
               will aid in reducing inundation periods at the Lake Macdonald – Dianella Court intersection.
               The proposal does not increase the number of lots within the mapped hazard area.
               4.6.4 Biodiversity
               The southern part of the site is mapped as containing Area of biodiversity significance.
               Environmental assessment of this vegetation has been undertaken and Council officers have
               review this assessment and it is identified that the mapped vegetation is non remnant and planted
               for plantation purposes. Subsequently, Council has obtained approval to clear this vegetation as


                                                                                                    Page 10 of 61

               part of OPW23/0190. The site includes other sporadic vegetation which may need to be assessed
               in accordance with Council’s local law (vegetation clearing) requirements prior to the clearing.
               4.6.5 Buffers to adjoining sites
               The eastern boundary of the site incorporates a 5m and 10m landscape buffer to the adjoining
               residential development to the east of the site. It is noted that Lot 100 is anticipated to be utilised
               as a future expansion area for cemetery purposes. Therefore, to avoid any future landuse conflicts
               or amenity impacts it is considered appropriate to incorporate a 2m landscape buffer along the
               western boundary of proposed lots 1 and 2. A condition is recommended to this effect.
               4.6.6 Access to 100
               The proposed layout provides access to Lot 100 via landscape open space link (within new road
               reserve) as shown on the proposal plans. No formal road access is proposed. Lot 100 currently
               obtains access via the cemetery site (Lot 101 on MCH655) without any formal easement rights.
               Convenient access is not possible to Lake MacDonald Road due to an existing cutting and no
               suitable or formal access is proposed as part of new road access link included as part of the subject
               application.
               The creation of the new road reserve between proposed Lots 1 & 2 will allow the ability for the
               operators to formalise future access.
               A previous RAL application (Council ref: RAL 24/00014), which created the subject lot (Lot 100)
               included a condition (Condition 5) which requires Lot 100 to be provided with a formal access as
               part of any subsequent development, the condition will also be included in this approval.
               Assessment benchmarks
