Information Request MCU22 0201 [As Published]

                 Information Required
                 1.1. Provide comment/analysis demonstrating why strategic outcome 3.3.5 (s) (ii) (G) and
                      the District Centre zoning intent should be set aside. The response is to include
                      comment on the availability of appropriately zoned land to meet the current and future
                      needs of residents on the eastern side of Cooroy.
                 1.2. Provide comment/analysis demonstrating how the proposed carwash meets PO9 of the
                      District Centre Zone Code, and will assist in forming a transition to nearby residential
                      uses. This should include a comparison with other uses identified as consistent for the
                      site.


                 Issue - Design
                 The Cooroy Local Plan Code seeks that development in the town centre maintains and
                 complements the traditional built form, addresses the street, provides and maintains small,
                 typical narrow tenancies with intimate continuous weather protected footpaths and active
                 frontages. Roof forms use traditional Queensland style roof designs and buildings reflect the
                 traditional Queensland vernacular and incorporate lightweight materials such as timber.
                 The Cooroy Local Plan code further identifies the site as being a Key Development site with
                 development having the potential to impact on the character of the centre.
                 PO22 of the District Centre Zone Code details that buildings and other structures are to
                 present a high quality streetscape with design elements and building forms that:
                      a) define the street and public spaces;
                      b) provide a consistent awning alignment fronting the street and public spaces;
                      c) contribute to the streetscape activity and vibrancy of the centre;
                      d) create pedestrian scale and visual interest;
                      e) contribute to their setting, including the skyline;
                      f) celebrate corner sites as key focal points that contribute positively to defining the
                         street; and
                      g) provide areas outdoor dining and meeting opportunities on the ground level.

                 The outcomes further detail that development is to make a positive contribution to the
                 streetscape and maintain a shop front presence to the street with uses designed to activate
                 frontages and provide access to the general public required.

                 The proposed industrial use is not considered to comply with the Outcomes of the Cooroy
                 Local Plan Code and District Centre Zone Code due to the extensive vehicle manoeuvring
                 areas visible to the street, limited street activation and awning.
                 Information Required
                 2.        Revise the plans to provide a simpler, consistent roof form across the central building
                           and provide some articulation, and treatment to improve the eastern elevation’s
                           presentation having regard to the design and built form requirements for Cooroy.
                 3.        Demonstrate how the proposal addresses the outcomes of the Cooroy Local Plan Code
                           and District Centre Zone Code with reference to street activation, awnings, amenity,
                           character and contribution to the streetscape.
