4.2        Past and Existing Uses
Existing on the 10,080m2 site is a single storey premises (restaurant – Orange on Sunrise), residence and shed
(annexed dwelling). The site has a long history of use as a restaurant and is a favourite of residents of the
Hinterland area.
The site currently holds an approval for a General Store and Residence (3b-221, March 22, 1991) but has since
long been converted to a restaurant as a response to the overwhelming need from the Hinterland community
for a quality restaurant.
Outside of the Business and Neighbourhood Centres of Cooroy, Tewantin, Noosaville and Eumundi, Orange on
Sunrise, currently is the only restaurant and take-away food facility within close proximity to the residents of
Tinbeerwah and Doonan. As illustrated in Figure 3, due to the site’s central location and accessibility the
restaurant is able to service a considerable local population within a five kilometer catchment.
