MCU10/2083 Development Application part 2 - Attachment 4 - Economic Impact and Need Assessment

           Business Park comprising two and three storey buildings has formed the second
           stage of development. Noosa Civic is the largest retail centre in Noosa Shire. It
           provides the region’s highest order retail goods including apparel, homewares
           and bulky goods items. It also includes a small selection of fast food,
           restaurants and cafes including a Chinese takeaway, Sushi bar, sandwich and
           juice bar, Red Rooster, Subway, Sunshine Kebabs, Donut King, Jamaica Blue,
           and The Coffee Club. As all retailers are located within the centre itself, they
           only operate during normal centre trading hours. The Noosa Civic Tavern is
           located on the western end of the centre.

2.2.2       Major supermarket based centres

           Three of Noosa Shire’s four Business centres are anchored by major chain
           supermarkets, although each has attributes that differentiate them and their
           function.

           Noosaville Business Centre

           The Noosaville Business Centre is located primarily on Mary and Thomas
           Streets, Noosaville and has three key components: Noosa Village, Noosa
           Homemaker Centre and showrooms.
           The 4,414m² Noosa Village centre is anchored by a 2,582m² Woolworths
           supermarket. Its reported turnover in the 2009 Shopping Centre Directory was
           $63 million, indicating that the centre is performing exceptionally well. Noosa
           Village is the only supermarket anchored centre within the Noosaville area and
           therefore provides residents with their chore food and top-up shopping needs. It
           operates until 9pm weeknights and 5pm/6pm on weekends. The supermarket is
           complemented by a range of specialty shops that include some take home food,
           apparel, household goods, and personal and professional services. Meals out /
           take away food retailers are limited to a café and Donut King.
           Immediately to the west of Noosa Village separated by Dan Murphy’s and the
           Villa Noosa Hotel, is the Noosa Homemaker Centre, a retail showroom–bulky
           goods centre of 22 tenancies. The Noosa Homemaker Centre has a wide range
           of tenants. There are two fast food retailers within the development; Dominos
           Pizza (open daily from 10.30am to midnight and until 1am Friday and Saturday
           nights) and a 24 hour McDonalds. However, accessibility to the McDonalds is
           constrained with only one access point off Thomas Street through the
           Homemaker Centre carpark.
           Another retail showroom centre is located east of Noosa Village. This centre is
           anchored by a large Harvey Norman store and has 22 other showroom
           tenancies. Gibson’s Homewares is another of the tenants which operates a deli
           and is open weekdays from 8am to 4pm and Saturdays from 8.30am till
           3.30pm.
           In addition to the three retail centres, there are a number of other businesses
           located within the Noosaville Business Centre, predominantly located along
           Mary Street. A BP service station is situated on the corner of Weyba Road and
           Mary Street on the eastern fringe of Noosaville. While the petrol station
