RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Property Advisor to the Services & Organisation Committee
Meeting dated 9 May 2017 and proceed to an Expression of Interest process for occupation of the
Lower Mill site (Lot 5 SP213104), as detailed in the report.


REPORT
The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval to proceed to an Expression of Interest
process for a commercial lease of vacant Council freehold land in Cooroy.

Council owns the freehold allotment at 4 Jarrah Street, Cooroy, formally described as Lot 2
RP176126. The site is 5,800m2 in area and zoned Industry under The Noosa Plan. The land had
been leased as a commercial concrete batching plant since the establishment of the industrial
estate in 1981. The last lessee of the site was Holcim, which vacated the site in November 2013
at the expiry of its lease.

An aerial photograph of the site and its surrounds is shown below.
