MCU23/0007 & RAL23/0001 - Material Change of Use for Multiple dwellings - Affordable Rental Premises (19 small dwelling units) and Reconfiguring a Lot (4 lots into 2) at 45-47A Maple Street & 9 Myall Street, Cooroy · ATTACHMENT 2 – MCU23/0007 AND RAL23/0001 – COORDINATOR PLANNING REPORT

activities and infrastructure, while also recognising that in consideration of the broad community
need/benefit for specific types of housing such as affordable rentals, the Community Facilities Zone
may also provide for these residential outcomes on the basis of community need. On balance, the
proposal is considered to generally align with the Overall Outcomes of the Community Facilities
Zone on the basis that it is providing much needed affordable housing in a location highly suited to
this type of housing product.
The Performance Outcomes specifically contemplate affordable rental premises, accessible
housing and other special residential uses as consistent uses that meet an identified community
need. In this regard, the proposal is considered consistent with the broader intent of the zone.
While this policy outcome may be more so reflective or responsive to the greater strategic focus
on the provision/community need for affordable housing in recent years and the availability of
suitable land in the Community Facilities Zone, the proposal achieves an intended outcomes of the
zone.
The proposed design also generally complies with the key built form parameters for the Community
Facilities Zone and the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code. This is summarised in the
table below:
