The call comes after the council's investigation and compliance coordinator Greg Pevitt inspected a property with suspected illegal structures at Chauvel Avenue Pindimar last Thursday.

The owner of the property had put two sheds, a drop toilet, two water tanks and a 16 foot caravan on the land.

The property zoned 1a Rural Small Holdings under the Local Environment Plan is to be used only for agricultural purposes and can not be occupied for more than 60 days within one year.

He said the property owner was cooperative during the inspection and was now fully aware the council will have to remove the structures.

Mr Pevitt said he was also negotiating between a property owner, lawyers and the council to remove other structures from another Pindimar property.

Darrin Briggs from the Rural Fire Service said the key reason he was supporting the removal of such structures was to "reduce fire hazards in the area".

The council's Manager of Strategic planning Roger Busby said at this stage the council had no intention of rezoning the land.

Roughly 451 people own non-urban land in Pindimar, 69 in Bundabah and 2831 in North Arm Cove.

"Council and the state government have proposed a medium-to-long term growth strategy and it does not recognise it (Pindimar) as a growth area," he said.

He said there was a focus on building on areas closer to Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens that were easier to develop, with less vegetation.
