                         following amendments are sought to allow for a development more appropriate for the site:
                              PO41 (a) of the District Zone Code must be changed from ‘ancillary to and support’ to
                              ‘complementary to’, as well as the corresponding AO41.2 of the District Zone Code be deleted

                              secondary frontages.
                         The changes proposed by this submission does not alter the Council’s policy position for land use
                         outcomes expected for appropriately located sites. The proposed rezoning is not considered significantly
                         different requiring re-advertising.
                         The unique location of the site complements and expands what is sought to be achieved with the District
                         Centre (Doonella St Precinct) zone. The expansion of the District Centre (Doonella St Precinct) zone to
                         include the site would provide:
                              A significant increase in the supply of small form housing, sought to be achieved by the precinct and
                              aligns with the aims of the council’s proposed amendments;
                              A complementary development to that envisaged for the Doonella St Precinct;
                              A consistent built form along Sidoni and Doonella Streets to make an attractive entry statement to the
                              Tewantin Village; and
                              Increased additional, affordable high-density housing in an ideal location proximate to transport, and
                              shops and amenities.
 5807894                 I support the requested rezoning of the Old Tewantin Police Station Site to be part of the Doonella Street
                         Precinct to enable the development of more affordable housing in Tewantin. I lived in the Old Tewantin
                         Police Station for the past 8 months and recently moved to the house at 89 Poinciana Street so I can
                         vouch for the benefits for potential residents living on the site with its excellent location.
                         I am a single mother with 3 children. I was in a severe crisis position, literally with the prospect of becoming
                         homeless and living out of our car and campsites. At the time, financially there was no way I could afford
                         most the rentals, and the ones I could afford I didn’t have a chance at getting in such a competitive market.

                                                                                                                                             107
