         considerations and landscape elements that the proposal will positively contribute to the
         streetscape and wider scenic amenity. The proposal has been designed and sited to
         maximise the functionality of the site while also including design elements and siting
         considerations that are sympathetic and responsive to the site’s prominent location;
        The scale of the built form proposed is appropriate;
        The building heights proposed comply with the preferred building height for the
         industrial zone of 10 metres;
        The building setbacks comply with the minimum setbacks identified in Schedule 1 of the
         planning scheme;
        The proposed roof forms will contribute positively to the skyline;
        The development will not adversely impact on the Lake Macdonald water supply.

An assessment has been undertaken against the specific outcomes for the Industry Zone of the
Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality Plan. The following points are noted from this assessment:

        Consistent and inconsistent uses in the Industry Zone are overridden by the approved
         plan of development though it is noted that the Retail Business Type 5 use is identified as
         a consistent use in the Industry Zone;
        External storage areas and plant will be screened from surrounding roads;
        Required water tanks and pumps are located within 2m of the side boundaries and are
         considered to be appropriate given that adjacent land is also industrial;
        Appropriate visual interest is provided in the built form design.

The proposal is considered to comply with the Specific Outcomes of the Cooroy & Lake
Macdonald Locality Code.
