Dear Sir

RE: Proposed Mixed Use Development 125 Myall Street, Cooroy- MCU 14/0056

I refer to our recent telephone discussion on 23 March. During that conversation you raised three items
that you were specifically considering-

    1. Instance where no signage was available on the Bruce Highway to make motorists aware of
       services available, thereby impacting on the likely need for the development servicing passing
       highway traffic.
    2. Water Quality impacts having regard to the location of the site within the Lake Macdonald
       catchment.
    3. Traffic issues associated with the intersection of Elm St and Myall St.

To assist Council with their deliberations on these matters we provide the following-

    1. Please see attached photos of existing signage at the northern and southern approaches to the
           Myall St exit for Cooroy. This signage is sufficient to indicate the existence of such services
           available to motorists should they use the exit. The development subject of consideration by
           Council will require no additional highway signage with only possible caravan and information
           symbols sought to be included to the existing signage. These will be sought, if required, as a
           separate request to DTMR. The existing signage clearly advises motorists should they take the
           Myall St exit that such services exist within the Cooroy township or as will be available upon the
           approval and development of these services on the subject site. The need for the development is
           documented within the planning report and the Needs Assessment Report dated July, 2014
           prepared by Foresight accompanying the application and subsequent Response to Information
           Request Report dated December, 2014 prepared by Foresight. An extract from the December
           report confirms the unique nature of the site –
