GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                               16 JANUARY 2017


The character of the immediate area surrounding the subject land is mixed with varying building
forms and some open space. Importantly, a number of dwellings remain on the southern side of
Doonella Street, directly opposite the existing and proposed extensions to the RSL development.
These dwellings are older and exhibit many of the light weight architectural features that are
reflective of the Tewantin Locality generally.

3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The subject land is located in the Tewantin & Doonan Locality and is included in the Community

a combination of community and entertainment and dining uses.
