CONCEPT

The applicant intends to subdivide the existing industrial site into six (6) industrial allotments to
service existing demand within the area. While it is envisaged that the bulk of the activities
undertaken within the new estate will be associated with value adding timber industries, the
application seeks approval for a wider range of industrial activities to be permitted. The Boral
Timber operation is intended to be retained on proposed Lot 4, whilst proposed Lot 1 may be
occupied by CSIRO to relocate their existing operation on Council land in Cooroy. Proposed Lot
2 has been sized to accommodate the relocation of the Bunnings truss manufacturing plant from
Caloundra. The balance of the allotments will be sized to accommodate industrial development
that is consistent with the definitions proposed by Council for industrial businesses which are

defined as follows:

the conduct of an industrial business activity, where goods or products are produced,
manufactured, dismantled, altered, re-packaged, repaired or stored at a scale of greater than
that defined by retail business. The use includes the sale of goods, resulting from such
operations, provided that sales space does not exceed 20% of the use area. Any space
dedicated for administration or accounting work in connection with such operations does not

exceed 20% of the use area. The term includes the following types:

Type 2 Production, alteration, repackaging & repairing: The use of premises for the
production, manufacturing, dismantling, altering, cleaning, re-packaging, freezing or
repairing of goods. The use includes food industries, textiles, mechanical, boat repair,

sandblasting.

In addition, it is intended that landscape & rural business, such as those selling products for

landscaping, garden or for rural uses in bulk are permitted on site.

Substantial vegetated buffer areas are proposed around the perimeter of the site to assist in
mitigating any adverse impacts between neighbouring land uses. The buffers will be located so

as to encompass the existing dams located on the site. These will be integrated into a stormwater
