Town Planning Report

5.3.1     Cooroy Local Plan

The Taylor Court industrial zone is not explicitly referenced within the Cooroy Local Plan. The development however is

deemed to satisfy the Purpose and Overall Outcomes of the code in so far as ensuring the development occurs within a

consolidated industrial area within proximity to the local area (item g) and the development scale and form reflects

contemporary characteristics, colour and aesthetic that is compatible with the local area whilst ensuring it

accommodates the intended activity and function (item j).


The proposed design adopts the use of colour, form and material to off-set the appearance of bulk and scale and

ensure a positive appearance and aesthetic is achieved. The addition of the proposed landscape design and the

existence of mature vegetation to the north will assist in softening the buildings appearance from nearby roads.

Furthermore, the design attributes and overall built form are taken to comply with PO7 of the Cooroy Local Plan with

respect to built form.


5.3.2     Low Impact Industry Zone

The purpose of the Low Impact Industry zone is to provide for—
           a)   service industry and low impact industry; and
           b)   other uses and activities that—
                         i.    support industry activities; and
                         ii.   do not compromise the future use of premises for industry activities.
The proposed development is for Low Impact Industry and creates two tenancies which offer a differing product for low

impact business, noting the overall size of each tenancy being larger than existing units on offer. The development

occurs within a consolidated and compact industrial area which already boasts numerous small and emerging local

businesses. The development is not proposed for non-compatible uses and thus will not introduce activity that

jeopardizes the Industrial estate.


The building is proposed at 8.5m in overall height to comply with AO9.1.


The building is setback no less than 6m from the primary road frontage, greater than 4.5m from the secondary frontage,

10m from Holts Road and is proposed with a 0m to the eastern boundary which is a common boundary in an industry

zone as per AO14.


Landscape is proposed to 20.2% of the site which includes existing landscape area adjacent to Holts Road. The

landscape pallet ensure species are suitable for the local area and soil type as per the Planning Scheme Policy for

Landscaping, within Schedule 6 and Table SC6.3.4.2 (Woodland/ Open Forest Area Species).
