Application for Daintree Men’s Shed Goes Ahead
DOUGLAS Shire Council has provided “landowner’s consent” to the Daintree Coast Community Shed Inc to lodge a development application for a clubhouse on public land in Diwan.
The community organisation has engaged a planning consultant who has prepared and lodged a development application for a men’s shed over land at 69 Tea Tree Road.
The land, which is freehold land owned by Council, currently has emergency services facilities, a helipad, health clinic, public toilets, performance stage, playground, sporting club facilities and grounds, and Council Works depot.
The Council decision to provide consent now allows the planning team to assess the application.
