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 unconstrained allotments that are fully serviced by urban
infrastructure and suitable for the establishment of dwelling houses;
