Dear Mr Adamson


RE: Additional advice in relation to proposed car wash at 34 Elm Street, Cooroy


We understand you are seeking further advice in relation to the alleged land use inconsistency of
the proposed car wash at 34 Elm Street, Cooroy with Strategic Outcome 3.3.5(s)(ii)(G) and
Performance Outcome 9 of the District Centre Zone Code of Noosa Plan 2020.
Strategic Outcome 3.3.5(s)(ii)(G) states:
       “Cooroy is divided by the railway line with the concentration of the centre activities located
       on the western side. The eastern side retains its service role to support the district centre by
       providing small-scale, local convenience goods and services for nearby residents, which may
       include a small-scale supermarket provided the need can be economically justified.”
Performance Outcome 9 of the District Centre Zone Code states:
       “Development respects the fact that higher intensity retail uses are concentrated in
       traditional core main streets and that at the edges of the District Centre zone lower intensity
       business and community uses form a transition to residential uses.”

Cooroy District Centre-Role and Function
The proposed use is for a commercial car wash. A trade area for the proposed car wash was
identified in the economic need assessment report. The trade area definition is influenced by several
factors including:
+   Layout of proposed development and relationship to site accesses;
+   Accessibility of site to the surrounding area;
+   Co-location with any other core attractors;
+   Location, role and function of surrounding centres (existing, approved and designated);
+   Location and distribution of competitor facilities; and
+   Physical or psychological barriers which might impede customers;
