The Section 65 Certificate - 8 July 2009 issued by the Department of Planning (8 July 2009) instructed Council  to zone the site R2 Low Density Residential and E2 Environmental Conservation, consistent with the surrounding land.

Subsequently, the final  Section 65 Certificate - February 15 2010  issued on 15 Feb 2010 advised that this site should be zoned SP2 (Acoustic Laboratory) under the draft LEP.
