 7.2.2.2 Purpose and overall outcomes

     Cooroy
     (1)   The purpose of the Cooroy local plan code is to provide locally relevant planning provisions for the assessment of
           development within the Cooroy local plan area.
     (2)   The following overall outcomes apply to the Cooroy local plan area:-
           (a)    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.
           (b)    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, provide efficient provision of infrastructure and services, avoid
                  constrained land and protect the landscape character and productivity of surrounding rural and rural residential
                  land.
           (c)    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. Valued elements
                  include:
                  (i)     Riparian corridors of Cooroy Creek, Six Mile Creek and its tributaries;
                  (ii)    Open space and landscape values of the showgrounds, sports grounds, Apex Park and the golf club;
                  (iii)   Views to Mt Cooroy and the Black Mountain Range;
                  (iv)    Early twentieth century architecture; and
                  (v)     Heritage associations of the North Coast Rail Line.
           (d)    The protection of water quality within Lake Macdonald and waterways that drain to it is a paramount factor in
                  consideration of development within the water supply catchment.
           (e)    Cooroy town centre functions as a district centre providing a wide range of commercial, retail and community activities
                  to serve the needs of the Cooroy community and Noosa hinterland residents and visitors to the area.
