MCU14/0056 Information Request

                                                                                   MCU14/0056



Issue – Flow on Visitation
The development would draw passing trade/travellers from the highway but, due to its out-
of-zone location, there is concern with the limited potential for flow-on trade elsewhere in
the locality.

Information Required
8      Provide comment on the development’s ability to encourage visitors/travellers to
       enter Cooroy and its surrounds for other commercial or tourist activity and whether
       facilities could be provided within the development for this purpose.

Issue – Economic Benefits
The economic benefits of the proposal to the local community are not extensively detailed.

Information Required
9      Provide further detail of the estimated overall investment to develop the project and
       the numbers and types of construction and on-going job generation.

Issue – Noise Barriers
Noise attenuation barriers are not indicated on the submitted site perspectives.

Information Required
10     Provide amended proposal plans showing the recommended noise attenuation
       barriers.

11     Provide planning comment on the visual amenity of the barriers, any proposed
       design response to minimise their visual impacts and the adequacy of the proposed
       boundary setbacks for that purpose.

12     Provide confirmation of the ongoing tenure and likely party responsible for
       maintenance of the noise attenuation barriers in each stage/parcel of the
       development.

Issue - Signage
Details of signage proposed within external road corridors are relevant to the assessment.

Information Required
13     Provide comment on the likely location and type of signage to be sought external to
       the site on State controlled roads (e.g. Bruce Highway).

Issue – Water Supply Catchment Area
The site is in the water supply catchment area, with the uses identified as inconsistent
under The Noosa Plan. The application provides insufficient evidence that the development
meets the Natural Resources Overlay Code for the catchment and that the quality of water
entering Lake Macdonald will be unaffected by this proposal, particularly in relation to
earthworks, fuel tanks, amenities, effluent/grey water disposal, stormwater management,
grease & oils, etc.

State Planning Policy 2013 identifies Water quality as a State Interest. The State has
prepared model code provisions for new planning schemes and Interim Development
Assessment Requirements (Refer State Planning Policy Guideline – State Interest – Water
Quality August 2014). Additionally, the SEQ Water Development Guidelines: Development
