Dear Glen,

Response to Information Request – Material Change of Use to establish Retail Business – Type 2 Shop
and Salon.

1 Kingsgate Drive, Tinbeerwah
Lot 63 on RP200339

In relation to the abovementioned property, on behalf of Margaret McFarland we hereby submit the
following information as requested in the Information Request dated 22nd December 2016.


Issue - Use

Information Required

    1         Please provide further discussion justifying the proposal without a general store component.


Response

        The proposed restaurant with take away provisions which excludes a General Store can be
        justified on two grounds: the lack of demand for a General Store in the Hinterland area, and a high
        demand for a local restaurant in the Hinterland area.

        A General Store and Residence was approved for the site in March 1991 (reference #3b-221) and
        operated on site for many years. Unfortunately, due to a lack of business (demand) the store was
        converted to a restaurant. As illustrated in Figure 1 below, within a 5km catchment there are
        numerous large shopping complexes which offer wide range of products, for example Noosa Civic,
        Noosa Village, Noosa Outlook Village and Tewantin Marketplace. Numerous convenience stores
        and service stations located within the neighbourhood centres of Tewantin, Noosa Outlook and
        Noosaville, also offer convenience items for sale.
