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

PO1: Maintain and enhance the rural character and scenic amenity of the zone.

   ●​ Assessment: The proposal involves the use of an existing dwelling house, ensuring no
      new built form or alterations that would diminish the established rural landscape. The
      property's large lot size, natural screening, setback from road and distance from
      neighbours inherently preserves open space and scenic vistas. The STA's operation will
      be low-impact, attracting guests who value tranquility, thus reinforcing rather than
      detracting from the peaceful rural ambiance.


   ●​ Compliance: The proposal fully complies by integrating a complementary use that
      respects and capitalises on the inherent rural character, ensuring its preservation and
      appreciation by visitors.




PO2: Protect land identified for agricultural production from fragmentation and
incompatible uses.

   ●​ Assessment: The property, while within the Rural Zone, is not identified as prime
      agricultural land under intensive production, nor is the proposed STA intended to convert
      or compromise any existing or potential agricultural activity.


   ●​ Compliance: The proposal poses no threat to agricultural viability or land integrity,
      aligning with the objective of protecting productive rural landscapes.




PO3: Protect and enhance the environmental values of the zone, including
biodiversity, waterways, and native vegetation.

   ●​ Assessment: The STA operates within the existing footprint of the dwelling, avoiding
      new clearing of native vegetation. On-site wastewater management (septic system) is
      existing and compliant, preventing impacts on waterways. The professional management
      plan includes robust waste management, preventing litter or environmental
      contamination. Guests will be encouraged to appreciate and respect the natural
      environment, fostering a sense of stewardship.


   ●​ Compliance: The proposal demonstrates a commitment to environmental protection,
      ensuring the STA operates sustainably within Kin Kin's natural landscape.
