               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.
