Falk-Submission

Hours —| am going to assume the applicant has requested approval for 24 hour operation which most
car washes are. If this is the case, there is precedent for same within the complex where | live, which
is in fact surrounded by residential housing. This was approved years ago and | have not witnessed
any reasonable objection to same in my time as a resident living literally metres away. The effect of a
24 operation is actually beneficial as it serves the part of the workforce that does not work inside
business hours. Cooroy also has many shift workers and whether employed by the private or public
sector, they need essential services available to them 24 hours. They also need them located
conveniently.

Environmental — My understanding is that their name incorporates the words ‘Eco-Friendly’.
Presumably this would be a desirable outcome and win for the region as it is consistent with Noosa’s
point-of-difference and enviable status as a recognised biosphere. So, if the applicant is backing up
the ‘eco-friendly’ with water efficient systems, non-toxic effluent, solar and other energy efficient
measures, it would in fact be a highly desirable business model and preferential for residents to use as
opposed to washing vehicles at home, unaware of the effects of same. If this can be done in a non-
harmful, low impact way, that is controlled and presumably regulated by way of the permit conditions,
this is another desirable outcome for the community.

Economic — As the only car wash in the area, | see the business thriving and supporting locals through
employment opportunities. There is also significant cost savings for local residents and businesses
who would utilise this essential service without incurring the time and fuel cost of travelling further
afield.

Thank you for your consideration of my submission in support of the proposed MCU development.
