Whilst the proposed development generally complies with the prescriptive built form parameters,
the proposed design does not meet the general provisions of the Heritage Overlay code for ‘look
and feel’ requirements of the character precinct as it has a very contemporary appearance.
The Overall Outcomes of the Heritage Overlay seeks developments which:
     The valued streetscape character of character areas is protected
     Reflects the country town character elements reminiscent of Cooroy’s heritage
       characteristics.
     Maintains and reflects the historic architectural features in Cooroy including traditional
       building designs of a predominantly low rise and low impact scale, typified by lightweight
       construction, with a timber frame, generally raised above ground on stumps, many
       featuring verandah elements, sunhoods and awnings to window and wall openings and
       simple roof designs, either gabled or hipped. Typical materials used include timber for
       cladding and corrugated iron for roofs;
     Development along Maple Street, south of the business centre maintains a domestic scale
       and form consistent with the Queensland vernacular with landscaped setbacks and front
       yards without front fences, and low impact, domestic scale buildings that contribute to the
       open character of this part of the character area.
