Town Planning Assessment Report

Executive Summary
This Town Planning Report has been prepared to support a development
application for a Development Permit for Material Change of Use for Transport Use -
Type 3 Depot at 44 Nandroya Road, Cooroy more properly described as Lot 2 on RP
193949.

Our office has been engaged by the registered landowner, Allan Hugh Forge, to
prepare and lodge this development application over the site. The subject site is
located in the Rural Settlement Zone of the Cooroy and Lake Macdonald Locality
and the proposed use is an inconsistent use and is required to follow an Impact
Assessable application process in accordance with Part 6, Division 9, Table 6.7 of the
Noosa Plan.

The proposal relates to seeking a retrospective approval for a shed that was
constructed by the previous land owner on the site. The existing shed has a total
floor area of 536m2 and a height of 7.8m. The shed has been constructed for the
purpose of a covered vehicle storage area. The area was previously an open
storage yard as part of an approved transport use and the proposal does not
intensify the existing use in this regard. Vehicular access to the shed will be
maintained via the existing sealed crossover to Nandroya Road.

This development application has been structured in accordance with the
requirements of The Noosa Plan 2006. Formal assessment has been undertaken
against the applicable Probable Solutions and Specific Outcomes of the following
codes, which were found to be most relevant:

   •   Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality Code;
   •   Infrastructure Uses Code;
   •   Driveways & Carparking Code;
   •   Landscaping Code
   •   Natural Resources Overlay Code

This application is Impact Assessable and requires public notification to occur for
fifteen business days. Referral is required to DILGP due to the proximity of a State
controlled road in accordance with Schedule 7, Table 3, Item 1 of the SPA
regulations.

Having assessed the proposal against all relevant legislation, this office recommends
that the development application be approved, subject to reasonable and relevant
conditions.
