A collection of units has been proposed for a street in a hinterland town that has attracted several development applications in recent years.
The development application for a material change of use for the multiple dwellings has been lodged for two blocks at Cooroy.
It seeks to build 13 units at 15 and 17 Myall Street, according to the documentation submitted to Noosa Council on behalf of the applicant, The Mackay Group.
Myall Street has been the subject of notable applications over the years, including a controversial retirement village at an 11.08-hectare site adjoining the existing Cooroy Golf Club, which subsequently lost a Planning and Environment Court appeal.
A Woolworths supermarket and 120-room retirement village are currently undergoing assessment with the council for the corner of Myall Street and Ferrells Road, following a recent public notification period.
Meanwhile, an application for a set of Queenslander-style units at 27 Myall Street was approved by the council in May.
According to a town planning assessment report, submitted by Adapt Development Management, the proposal is for a two-storey development comprising nine two-bedroom units and four three-bedroom units across three buildings.
“Buildings one and two comprise either a single- or double-car garage, entry, dining, living, kitchen, toilet and private open space area on level one,” the document states.
“Level two comprises either two or three bedrooms, an ensuite, bathroom, laundry and study.
“Building three comprises either a double-car garage on level one, storage, toilet, laundry and storage.
“Level two comprises either two or three bedrooms, an ensuite, bathroom, study, living, kitchen, dining and private terrace.”

Car parking for 21 residents and three visitor spaces has also been proposed as part of the plan.
The total site area is 2549sqm, with the subject land located within the medium-density residential zone and subject to the Cooroy Local Plan.
“Each lot currently contains an existing dwelling house, which will be demolished in order to develop the proposed development,” the report says.
According to the plans, a part of the roof will exceed the eight-metre height limit “due to the slope of the site”.
Being within 25 metres of a state-controlled road, the application will trigger referral to the State Assessment Referral Agency.
The application is code-assessable and currently undergoing assessment via Noosa Council.
