PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                       6 OCTOBER 2020


   Heritage character requirements
   Car parking
   Traffic
   External frontage works
   Stormwater Management
   Existing sewer main and connection
   Waste Management
   Fire safety and protection
With regards to the site being located within the Heritage Character Area the following advice
was provided:
     The site is also included in the Heritage Overlay (Character Area) for Cooroy under the
     Noosa Plan. For this area, the Noosa Plan seeks to protect the streetscape character area
     by retaining the existing buildings that contribute positively to the character. Review of the
     site and existing house following the meeting shows that the existing building is of a
     Queensland vernacular style timber and iron house on stumps with many features typical of
     this era and which contribute to the character of Maple Street.
     It is therefore unlikely Council would support relocation or demolition of the existing house.
     It is therefore recommended that the existing house be retained for the proposed medical
     use.
