7.2.1 Cooroibah Locality Code

A ‘Tower’ in the Cooroibah Locality is assessable against the Cooroibah Locality
Code. The Overall Outcomes for the Cooroibah Locality which are relevant to the
current proposal are addressed below.

a) New uses and works are located, designed and managed to—

          i be compatible with other uses and works;

          ii maintain the safety of people and works;

          iii avoid significant adverse impacts on the amenity enjoyed by users of
          other premises, including impacts on acoustic and visual qualities; and

          iv avoid significant impacts to native habitat including fragmentation,
          attrition, or removal of vegetation or significant habitat features;

b) Development is consistent with the Priority Infrastructure Plan in Part 15.

c) The Cooroibah Locality forms a transition between the more intensive
development in the Shire’s coastal urban area and the rural hinterland;

d) The Cooroibah Locality retains its role as a rural residential area supported by
urban facilities in other localities;

e) The main concentration of residents is in the southern and eastern part of the
locality;

f) The dominant land uses are—

          i rural settlement, at varying densities consistent with the environmental
          constraints of the area; and

          ii open space, comprising natural bushland settings in both public and
          private tenure;
