               The site is relatively flat and is subject to some flooding from the waterway adjacent the site’s
               eastern boundary. Mature trees exist generally around the perimeter of the site & cricket oval,
               adjacent the existing clubhouse building and along the banks of the waterway.
               2.3. Surrounding Land Uses
               The Cooroy Sports Complex is located immediately west of the Cooroy town centre, within walking
               distance of a number of community facilities including Council’s new adventure playground, library,
               tennis centre, and scout hall. The site is bound on all sides by constructed roads, apart from the
               site’s eastern side which is defined Cooroy Creek.
               Specifically, land to the north is zoned and developed for medium impact industrial purposes,
               recreation and open space. Land to the west and south is zoned for residential and rural residential
               purposes, most of which have been improved with dwelling houses. Land to the East is the Cooroy
               district Centre, comprising a variety of uses.
               3.     ASSESSMENT
               3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
               statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
               •      State Planning Policy;
               •      South East Queensland Regional Plan;
               •      Planning Regulation 2017; and
               •      Noosa Plan 2020.
               3.2. State and Other Statutory Instruments
               State Planning Policy
               The Noosa Plan 2020 is generally consistent with the State Planning Policy July 2017 (SPP) and
               the SPP raises no further issues relevant to the proposed development.
               South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan 2017
               The site is located within the Urban Footprint of the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposal is consistent
               with the regional policies of the SEQ Regional Plan.
               Planning Regulation 2017
               The following assessment benchmark from the Planning Regulation 2017 applies to the
               application:

               the assessment benchmarks contained in the Planning Regulation 2017 for the SEQ Development
               Area.
