2.3. Surrounding Land Uses
The site is surrounded by the following land uses:
   Adjoining the site to the east is the large Council owned ‘Doonella Street carpark’,
     which provides rear access to the Tewantin Plaza and the carpark for the ‘Berry Place’
     cafés and takeaway shops fronting Memorial Avenue.
   Adjoining the site to the north is the ‘Tewantin Newsagency’ building, located at 107
     Poinciana Avenue. Currently, there is no through access from the Sidoni Lane carpark
     to the Council owned carpark at Doonella Street due to the shape of this lot.

     providing safe, affordable and supported accommodation to families who are homeless
     or at imminent risk of being homeless. The site also adjoins the large Council owned
     ‘Sidoni Lane carpark’, which provides rear access to many of the shops on the
     southern side of Poinciana Avenue.
   Across the Doonella Street to the west are a mix of older style unit developments and
     detached houses fronting Lake Doonella.
