               2.      SITE DETAILS
               2.1. Background
               23 November 2000 - Application 20845 DA - a relaxation application for onsite carparking and
               landscaping requirements for a 1,461m² light industrial building (existing larger building at western
               side of site).
               Ultimately the onsite carparking rate of 1 space per 50m² GFA was considered excessive and
               onsite provision was relaxed from 29 to 22 spaces. A 3 metre wide landscaping buffer adjacent to
               the Cooroy Sewerage treatment site (eastern side boundary) was also not required.
               17 August 2004 - Building Works approval for an Industrial Building 392m² Class 7B (existing
               smaller building at eastern side of site).

                     392m² GFA. The existing buildings are to be retained;
                   • contains a minor fall (approx. 1metre) from the rear of the site to the Johnson Court frontage;
                   • aerial photography indicates that linemarking of the internal carparking areas have worn away
                     over recent years however images from 2010 indicate 22 spaces at the rear of the site and
                     two spaces at the site frontage. A total onsite provision of 24 spaces.
                   • Areas of existing landscaping are located along the site frontage and are a minimum of 3
                     metres in depth. Two visitor spaces are also located within the front setback and are provided
                     with a minimum 2 metre landscape buffer as required under the Medium Impact Industry Zone
