               1.     PROPOSAL
               The application seeks approval for a Material Change of Use and Operational Works to establish
               a single storey Dwelling house at 111 Lukes Road, Cooroy Mountain.
               The proposal involves the construction of a large single‑storey dwelling and associated domestic
               outbuildings including a private gym, stables and horse arena located in the south‑western portion
               of the site.
               Information provided by the Applicant indicates the development on the site will comprise a total of
               876 m² gross floor area (GFA) for habitable buildings and 243 m² GFA (Stables) for non-habitable
               class 10 buildings.
               The existing dwelling, shed and swimming pool will be demolished, while the existing studio in the
               north‑western extent of the site will be retained.
               Vehicle access will be provided via Lukes Road (unformed road) and established upgraded internal
               driveway.
               The proposed development involves the following aspects:
               Dwelling House - 779m²
               The proposal includes a new single‑storey dwelling house to be used as a permanent residence.
               The dwelling contains habitable living areas, 5 bedrooms, bathrooms and associated domestic
               spaces, together with garages (5 cars) on the southern side of the dwelling.
               Gym Building - 95m²
               A separate private gym building is proposed to the east of the dwelling. The gym includes exercise
               and wellness facilities and is intended for private use by the occupants of the dwelling only. The
               applicant submits the building is not proposed to operate as a commercial or independent use.
               Stables building - 243m² and Horse Arena (open area)
               The stables and a horse arena are located to the west of the dwelling for domestic animal keeping.
               The facilities are intended for private, non‑commercial use consistent with the Rural Zone.
               Existing Studio (Retained)
               An existing studio building is located in the north‑western portion of the site and is to be retained.
               The studio is not approved as a separate dwelling and the applicant submits will remain ancillary
               to the primary dwelling house.
               The proposed dwelling house and associated outbuildings are located within a predominantly
               cleared and previously disturbed portion of the site. As shown on the approved plans, the building
               footprint, access driveway and associated works are largely confined to existing cleared areas.
               Only minor vegetation removal is required to facilitate the development, primarily associated with
               localised site works within the immediate building footprint and driveway alignment. No
               development is proposed within mapped waterways, riparian buffer areas or areas identified as
               containing significant ecological values under the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay
               Code.
               The locality and proposal plan are included below.
