Town Planning Assessment Report · OPW16/0212

Executive Summary
This Town Planning Report has been prepared to support a development
application for Material Change of Use – Multiple Housing Type 4 Conventional (4 x 3
Bedroom Units) and associated Operational Works at 11 Opal Street Cooroy, more
properly described as Lot 1 RP 248165.

Our office has been engaged by the registered landowner, Mr Tony Rossiter, to
prepare and lodge this development application over the site. The subject site is
located in the Open Space Recreation Zone of the Cooroy and Lake Macdonald
Locality and the proposed use is an inconsistent use and required to follow an
Impact Assessable application process in accordance with Part 6, Division 11, Table
6.9 of the Noosa Plan.

The proposed development seeks for 4 removal homes to be positioned on the
property that will each have 3 bedrooms. Given that the removal homes must be
sourced, the detailed design and dimensions of these is unknown at this stage.
Subsequently, this application will be seeking building envelopes to be approved
that will support the future establishment of the dwellings.

The site will be accessed via two separate driveway crossovers, with one being
centrally located on the Opal Street frontage, and the other centrally located on
the Diamond Lane frontage. All necessary infrastructure will be provided to
accommodate the use.

This development application has been structured in accordance with the
requirements of The Noosa Plan 2006. Formal assessment has been undertaken
against the applicable Probable Solutions and Specific Outcomes of the following
codes, which were found to be most relevant:

   •   Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality Code;
   •   Residential Uses Code;
   •   Driveways & Carparking Code;
   •   Landscaping Code
   •   Natural Resources Overlay Code

This application is Impact Assessable and requires public notification to occur for
fifteen business days. No referral agencies are required for this development
application. A pre-lodgement meeting was held with Council on 24 September 2015
in relation to the proposed development (Refer to Appendix E).

Having assessed the proposal against all relevant legislation, this office recommends
that the development application be approved, subject to reasonable and relevant
conditions.
