REPORT
1.   PROPOSAL
The application seeks approval for a Material Change of Use for a Self-Contained RV Stop to
accommodate up to 40 self-contained vehicles at 17 Mary River Rd, Cooroy. A public RV waste
dump point also forms part of the proposal.

A self-contained RV has sleeping and cooking facilities, toilet, shower, drinking water and the
ability to carry waste. Only fully self-contained RVs up to 12.5m in length are proposed to use the
site, with larger rigs excluded due to the potential to damage the ground surface. The maximum
number of nights any travelling RV will be permitted to stay at the stopover is 4.

The RV stop is to occupy a 2.1ha area, located within the south eastern corner of the site,
adjacent to the Cooroy Sewerage Treatment Plant and the Lower Mill Road industrial area. A
locality and detailed site plan is included as Attachments 1 & 2.

The RV stop is divided into 2 RV parking areas. The northern area can accommodate up to 11
RVs near the existing creek and bushland, accessed via an existing driveway adjacent to the
proposed waste dump point. The southern area accommodates up to 29 RVs and is accessible
via an existing driveway near the existing car club and amenities buildings along the site’s
southern boundary.

Minor earthworks are proposed to upgrade the internal access roads and accommodate the
dump point. A registration information booth is proposed near the entrance to the stop. It is also
noted that no electricity is proposed to the RV stop. A general arrangement plan for the proposed
RV stop is provided as Figure.1.
