Preliminary development application discussions have occurred between CSR and Council
officers. CSR are seeking to expand the Urban Footprint and fill these sites for 200 urban
residential lots using fill from 300 Kennedy Rd.

Extractive resource description:
This is the largest tertiary clay deposit in Noosa Shire. It is a large resource that was of former
importance to Cooroy Brickworks.

Significance:
This Noosa Plan currently identifies this area as a local resource area and separation area and
mining lease.

The site was of significance to Cooroy Brickworks in the past but with its closure the significance is
reduced, particularly now the owners are looking at fill and redevelopment opportunities.

Separation Area:
The separation area is 200m around the boundary of the local resource processing area.

Transport route:
There is no identified transport route.
