4.2 Building Design
The proposal reuses the existing ‘timber and tin’ house fronting Tewantin Rd, which retains the
character to the main entrance to Cooroy. The new building is located at the rear of the site and is
to be constructed of timber weatherboard walls and colourbond roofing with eaves and roof pitch
>10 degrees, reflecting the traditional Queenslander vernacular.

The existing jacaranda along Tewantin Rd is to be retained, adding visual interest to the streetscape
consistent with the relevant Acceptable and Performance Outcomes of the Cooroy Local Area Plan.
