BACKGROUND
In February 2002 the Queensland Government (the State) gave notice of the designation of land
situated at 24 Cooroy Noosa Road, Tewantin for the purposes of “community infrastructure –
education facilities”. The designation was at the time made under section 2.6.1(1) of the Integrated
Planning Act 1997 (the Act). Section 2.6.11 of the Act also required Council to note the designation
on its planning scheme.

In 2004 a purpose built Technical and Further Education (TAFE) campus was constructed on the
site. The land comprises 11.04 hectares with approximately 1.56 hectares utilised for the campus
footprint. The remaining 9.48 hectares of land area is heavily vegetated with much of it considered
to have high biodiversity environmental value.
