Incompatible uses

083 New dwelling units are to provide for
sufficient buffer area between the premises
and existing Industrial business uses on
other premises to avoid any potential adverse
amenity impacts on residents.

The existing property to the north that was
previously a quarry has ceased operations
and will not provide any adverse impacts.
Evidence of the future intention of the site is
provided in Appendix B.

 

 

Environmental values

084 The environmental values of land are
protected from adverse impacts as a
consequence of development in or adjacent to
that land.

 

The proposal is limited to the provision of
self contained vehicles in order to reduce
the impact of any waste or water release
upon the Lake Macdonald catchment.

Specific Outcomes

Proposed Solutions

 

Electricity supply infrastructure

O17 The development does not adversely
impact on existing or future electricity supply
infrastructure;

AND

O2 All uses and works maintain an adequate
safe distance from electrical infrastructure
including substations, overhead powerlines,
power poles and transformers.

The subject property does not contain any
electrical supply infrastructure and does not
interfere with any powerlines on the
adjoining properties.

 

Siting

03 Visitor Accommodation provides access
to valued features, facilities or attractions of
the Shire including—

a) the beach;

b) other natural features;

c) visitor attractions and services:

d) town or village centres; or

e) the Noosa Trail Network.

The subject property is located in close
proximity to Cooroy Town and has direct
access to the Bruce Highway.

 

Scale

04 Visitor accommodation is at a scale and
nature complementary and respectful to its
surroundings and does not unduly impact on
adjacent or surrounding land uses or the
amenity of the surrounding area.

The proposal for 20 accommodation sites is
determined with consideration to the site and
to allow for an appropriate buffer to be
maintained from residential sites.

 

Mitigation of noise impacts

O5 Development is designed and sited to
avoid adverse noise impacts associated with
neighbouring noise sources by—

a) locating the use away from major noise
sources such as busy roads or rail corridors: or
b) applying appropriate noise attenuation
measures into the development.

The subject property is situated on Holts
Road which produces a limited amount of
noise and vegetation is able to be used to
reduce any other inappropriate noise. No
communal amenities or recreational facilities
are provided that may produce additional
noise.
