PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                  3 MARCH 2015


REPORT
1.   PROPOSAL
The application seeks approval for a detached house within the Open Space Conservation
zone at 146 Solar Road, Cooroy Mountain. The 4.325ha subject lot has a split zoning (Rural
and Open Space Conservation). A zoning map of the subject site is included below.




In 2008, the Open Space Conservation zoned portion of the lot was excised from the
adjoining Mount Cooroy Conservation Park by the State, so that all existing buildings,
paddocks and fences were maintained within the relevant lot. The boundary realignment
followed the existing vegetation constraints and allowed for existing stock yard structures to
be incorporated within private land rather than state land.

The applicant proposes to locate the new house within an area zoned Open Space
Conservation. The application is before Council as a detached house is an inconsistent use
within the Open Space Conservation zone.
2.   SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background
On the 11 September 2008, Council issued an approval for a boundary realignment,
following the State’s agreement to do a land swap with part of lot 14 and the Mount Cooroy
Conservation Park, thereby creating the subject lot (08/1226).
2.2. Site Description
The subject site is 4.325 ha and is located 1.5km to the east of Mount Cooroy. The site
gently slopes from the top of a small spur located along the south western portion of the site
down to the north eastern boundary.
