Attention: Nadine Gorton, Acting Coordinator, Development Assessment

Dear Nadine,

Response to Information Request - Proposed Commercial Carwash at 34 Elm Street,
Cooroy, described as Lots 4, 5 & 6 on RP72698

Reference is made to the Information Request that was made on 22 December 2022. The
original information request response was due by 22 March 2023; however, this was extended
on three (3) occasions to 30 August 2023. The applicant subsequently stopped the assessment
period until 22 September 2023, to allow more time to submit the response to the information
request and to prepare for the public notification material.

The request for further information raises a number of issues, which have been addressed
below. Amended proposal plans have also been provided as Attachment 1.

Issue – Use Conflict

The proposed carwash is considered an industrial use by the Noosa Plan and is contrary to the
zoning intent for the site for a mid-range of retail, offices, healthcare, business, community,
entertainment and recreation activities, with alternate land in Cooroy zoned for industrial
activities.

The Strategic Outcome 3.3.5 (s) (ii) (G) specifically seeks that the eastern side of the Cooroy town
centre 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.
