Concerns
   1. How will the developer ensure the water quality of Lake MacDonald will not be
       detrimentally affected by impurities particularly oils and fuel that will flow overland from the
       site and the sites road entrance especially in heavy rain events?

    2. How will the developer ensure that oil, petrol, diesel will not flow into Lake MacDonald
       given some people will inevitably forget to place their fuel caps on after refilling and fuel will
       spill onto the road for hundreds of meters upon exiting the development. This is of particular
       concern when it happens in heavy rain events, which is also the time it will most often occur
       with commuters being rushed.

    3. How will the developer ensure litter from the fast food takeaway that is dropped on the
       roadside directly outside the development will not flow into Lake MacDonald? This will be
       particularly difficult to police given the development will largely be frequented by student of
       the local nearby high school only a few hundred meters north.

    4. Given the relaxed peaceful community feel of Cooroy due largely as a result of the retail
       centre being all in close to the western side of the railway along with existing petrol stations,
       visitor accommodation and other retail services located in close proximity to each other on
       the eastern side of the railway it must be viewed as questionable town planning to create
       another retail area on the town peripheral when Cooroy has a population of only 3500
       people. This will divide the town unnecessarily and have undoubted detrimental effects on
       the vibrant village feel along with threaten the existing businesses which are currently
       located in the approved business centre zones not on rural land.
