2. SITE DESCRIPTION

The subject land is located at 154 Holts Road, Cooroy and contains an area of
2.36ha.

The property has a frontage of approximately 246m onto Holts Road with 2 vehicle
access points. Holts Road is a formed bitumen road that is partially adjacent to the
Bruce Highway and provides access to the town of Cooroy which is approximately
1.5km to the north-west. An internal gravel driveway provides access to all of the
buildings on the site.

The site is currently used as a commercial nursery and there is a residential dwelling
located in the centre of the property that is surrounded by a grassed area. The
majority of the site has previously been used as a nursery and at the peak of
operations approximately 10 trucks would access the site per day. The site contains
several buildings that are used as greenhouses, processing sheds, propagation
rooms as well as area dedicated to outdoors cultivation, a single cabin and staff
carparking. No pesticides are used in the operations of the nursery. The nursery
sells direct to wholesalers and the site is not accessible to members of the public.

On the eastern side of the property there is a dam that is surrounded by established
vegetation. This dam is part of a waterway that extends to the southern side of Holts
Road. The developed part of the site is relatively flat with a gentle slope towards the
dam.

Electrical and telephone services are available to the property.
