Council decided to start the rezoning process for several large development sites in the early and mid 1990s.

At about the same time, Council and other government agencies recognised that there was a need for a broad strategy to set a conservation framework and to guide development within the Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest area. As a direct result, Council decided to prepare the Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest Conservation and Development Strategy.
