Sta Mcu Proposal 1 Gympie Kin Kin Rd · MCU25/0075

PO6: Contribution to Local Economy and Tourism

   ●​ Assessment: This STA will contribute directly to the Kin Kin economy through visitor
      spending at local businesses and indirectly by promoting the region. The year-round
      operation (enabled by the requested 4/60 exemption) is crucial for a sustainable
      contribution. Current STA offerings in the area do not meet demand for Kin Kin.


   ●​ Outcome Achieved: The STA provides a valuable economic stimulus and diversifies
      local tourism offerings in a manner consistent with the town's character.




8. Assessment Against Works Code

The proposed MCU primarily involves the use of an existing dwelling, with minimal or no new
'works' required. However, if any minor works are anticipated (e.g., minor landscaping,
maintenance of access), they would positively align with the Works Code.

PO1: Minimise Earthworks and Cut/Fill

   ●​ Assessment: Positive. The proposal involves the use of an existing dwelling. No new
      earthworks or cut/fill are proposed. No landscaping or maintenance works will be
      undertaken with no disturbance to natural ground levels.
   ●​ Outcome Achieved: Site stability is maintained, and environmental disturbance from
      earthworks is avoided.

PO2: Stormwater Management and Water Quality

   ●​ Assessment: As no new impervious areas are proposed, the existing stormwater
      management arrangements for the dwelling are deemed adequate..
   ●​ Outcome Achieved: Stormwater is managed effectively with rainwater tanks, protecting
      water quality and preventing erosion.

PO3: Landscaping and Vegetation Retention

   ●​ Assessment: The proposal does not involve the removal of any vegetation. Existing
      landscaping will be retained and enhanced where necessary to maintain the rural
      aesthetic and provide screening. The natural vegetation on the property contributes to
      the overall character of the area.
   ●​ Outcome Achieved: The landscape character is preserved, and ecological values are
      maintained.
