The site is located in the high part of Viewland Drive before entering the Noosa National Park. The
parcel is regular in shape with a kick in the eastern extents of the premises defined by the existing

structures on the remainder of Lot 1. The area of the proposed lease that will provide legal access
to the site for the proposed development is approximately 3101m2.
The land slopes to the west with a fall of approximately 6 metres and varying gradient. Viewland
Drive is a local road with sealed carriageway and kerb and channel along both sides. The majority
of the frontage to the site is provided with concrete widening for parallel parking along the southern

The site is densely vegetated with native and exotic species of trees, and understory vegetation.
Several large water reservoirs are located on the eastern portion of the site with ancillary buildings
and structures surrounding them.
Existing trunk water mains are located within the site with a water main traversing the north eastern
portion of the subject premises. An existing easement provides Unitywater with access to their
infrastructure across the premises, the subject of this application.
