                                       report



1. Executive Summary
This report is written on behalf of Creekgold Pty Ltd who proposes to develop land at 5 Garnet Street and
Wimmers Lane, Cooroy for a Retail Business Type 2 (Shop). It is to contain a single tenancy supermarket of
approximately1365m2.

The site is located within the Cooroy town centre. It is included within the Business Centre zone and is also
within the Cooroy and Lake Macdonald Locality Plan (CLMLP). Land surrounding is also included within the
Business Centre zone and CLMLP.

The site contains a number of older buildings associated with its previous use by Wimmers, a local soft
drink manufacturer. These buildings will be removed as part of the development of the site. A range of
retail/ commercial uses commensurate with the intent for the Business Centre zone are located adjacent
to and proximate to the site. The Cooroy Tavern is located opposite the site in Garnet Street.

The proposed supermarket is orientated towards Garnet Street with pedestrian and vehicle access gained
from same. Twenty – six car spaces and eight motor cycle bays are provided at ground level with a further
48 car spaces within a single basement level. The loading dock and delivery area is accessed from Wimmers
Lane.

The proposal necessitates a development application for a Material Change of Use (Development Permit)
and is subject to code assessment.

Having considered the history of the site; the current circumstances; and the State, regional and local
planning provisions applicable to the development, we are of the view that the Retail Business Type 2
(Shop) complies with the relevant provisions of the Noosa Planning Scheme. We therefore commend the
application to Council.
