      which is the land having frontage to Diamond Street. Further, the development is well
      removed from the main centre area of Cooroy, this being to the west of the railway.

      While the proposed car wash is technically an industrial use under the Noosa Plan
      2020, it is not uncommon for a commercial car wash to be established within a centre
      or mixed use area, where appropriately located.

      The assessment has revealed there is a significant economic, community and planning
      need for a car wash within the Cooroy locality. This is because there is a latent unmet
      demand in the trade area and a lack of industrial land available for this purpose, with
      the location of this land not being suitable in any event.

      The proposed development will provide significant environmental benefits given the
      design of the stormwater management system is likely to result in a reduction of about
      28% of the waste currently discharging to local waterways and the dam catchment,
      based on the expected usage within the trade area. Further, with onsite water
      harvesting and use of a substantial solar power system, the proposed development
      will also be as sustainable as possible.

      In the circumstances, there are a number of relevant matters that warrant approval of
      the proposed development, which are discussed in the report. Further, the proposed
      development will provide substantial community benefit and will not cause any
      unintended town planning consequences.
