               2.3. Site Description
               The site consists of two large lots comprising a total of 3,750m² in area. Thomas Street (45 metres)
               is the western frontage, Gympie Terrace (69 metres) northern frontage and Albert Street (64
               metres) the eastern frontage. A combined road frontage of 178 metres.
               203 Gympie Terrace (located at the corner of Thomas Street and Gympie Terrace) is the larger lot
               and contains predominantly single storey commercial developments consisting of Food and drink
               outlets, Office, Indoor sport and recreation, Health care and Shop uses.
               207 Gympie Terrace (located at the northeast corner of Gympie Terrace and Albert Steet) is vacant
               and was formerly used as a Service station and car wash. The site is contained on the Queensland
               Environmental Management Register and is recorded as a notifiable activity subject to hazardous
               contaminants. Being a former service station, the hazardous contaminants relate to hydrocarbons.
               A separate Material change of use (code assessment) will be required to be made to the Chief
               executive (SARA) which will require the Environmental Management Register to confirm that the
               premises is suitable for the proposed use in accordance with a site-specific suitability statement.
               At this time a site suitability statement has not been approved. A condition has been included within
               the recommendation which requires confirmation that a site suitability statement has been
               approved prior to granting any Operational works approval.
               The entire site and land to the northeast and southwest are contained within the Tourist
               accommodation zone and the Noosaville local plan area, see below Figure 7.
               Existing vegetation at the site comprise two mature Poincianas trees located at the corner of
               Thomas Street and Gympie Terrace. The trees are located just within the site and are intended to
               be retained to complement the existing adjacent Bottle Brush trees within the Thomas Street road
               reserve. Existing mature Melaleuca, Ficus and Eucalyptus vegetation is located at the northern
               and southeastern corners of the site and will be required to be removed as part of the
               redevelopment.




                                                                                                     Page 29 of 55
