7.2.2 Cooroy Local Plan Code

7.2.2.2 Purpose and overall outcomes

        (b) Development is limited to land within the urban boundary and maintains a defined edge to the town to
        protect and reinforce the character and identity of Cooroy, provide efficient provision of infrastructure and
        services, avoid constrained land and protect the landscape character and         productivity of surrounding
        rural and rural residential land.

        (d) The protection of water quality within Lake Macdonald and waterways that drain to it is a       paramount
        factor in consideration of development within the water supply catchment.

        (n) Detached housing is typically characterised by a mix of detached traditional Queenslanders and
        modern homes with large setbacks and mature landscaping.

                                                       Comment

The proposed development meets the relevant outcomes of the Cooroy Local Plan Code, including (b), (d) and (n) in
that:
      + the low-density residential reconfiguration would be contained within the urban boundary and provide for
        suitable unstrained allotments that are fully serviced by urban infrastructure and suitable for the
        establishment of dwelling houses;
      + the development would ensure that the water quality within the Lake Macdonald Catchment is protected
        as the allotments would be connected to reticulated sewerage infrastructure and the existing piped
        stormwater network; and
      + the reconfiguration would provide for appropriately sized lots that are capable of accommodating homes
        with well landscaped settings.
