Appendix H - Economic Assessment

Conclusions and Recommendations
The residential aged care market in the Catchment is currently undersupplied. There is demonstrated need
for an additional aged care provider to enter the market, with strong growth projected for the 70 years and
over age cohort.
The benefits of a dedicated specialist aged care facility in Cooroy are three-fold:
     Carers and consumers are given greater choice in care;
     Unmet need within the Catchment is reduced; and
     The burden for dementia and respite care is reduced.

As such, a material change of use approval for the Subject Site should be progressed.
