Attention: Assessment Manager

I support this application because of its commitment to water saving and the environmental benefits as well as the location.

Water is a precious resource, and in Cooroy, where many residents rely on tank water, this fact holds even greater significance. Tank water systems are essential for providing a sustainable and self-sufficient source of freshwater to households in rural and semi-rural areas

In a region like Cooroy, where the climate can be characterized by periods of drought and water scarcity, every drop of water becomes invaluable. Car washing at home often consumes a significant amount of water, which can deplete tank reserves, especially during dry spells when rainwater collection is limited. By encouraging residents to use a professional car wash facility, we not only promote water conservation but also ensure that the cleaning process is carried out in an eco-friendly manner. These facilities are equipped with systems that recycle and treat water, minimizing wastage and protecting the local environment from harmful runoff.

The responsible use of tank water is not just an individual concern; it's a collective responsibility to safeguard the long-term availability of this precious resource for the entire community. Thus, supporting a car wash in Cooroy is not just a matter of convenience; it's a sustainable choice that aligns with our commitment to environmental responsibility and prudent water management. It's a testament to our dedication to preserving the integrity of our ecosystem and ensuring that future generations can continue to rely on this invaluable source of freshwater.

And finally, The development is not out of character in this location and will complement the two existing service stations as well as preserve valuable industrial land.

Kind Regards
