Concerns
1. How will the developer ensure the water quality of Lake Macdonald will not be
detrimentally effected by impurities particularly oils and fuel that will flow
overland from the site and the sites road entrance especially in heavy rain
events?

2. How will the developer ensure that oil, petrol and diesel will not flow into Lake
Macdonald given some people will inevitably forget to place their fuel caps on
after refilling and fuel will spill onto the road for hundreds of meters upon
exiting the development. This is of particular concern when it happens in heavy
rain events, which is also the time it will most often occur with commuters being
rushed.

3. How will the developer ensure litter from the fast food takeaway that is dropped
on the roadside directly outside of the development will not flow into Lake
Macdonald? This will be particularly difficult to police given the development
will largely be frequented by the students of the local nearby high school only a
few hundred meters North.

4. Given the relaxed peaceful community feel of Cooroy due largely as a result of
the retail center being all in close to the Western side of the railway along with
existing petrol stations, visitor accommodation and other retail services located
in close proximity to each other on the Eastern side of the railway it must be
viewed as questionable town planning to create another retail area on the town’s
peripheral when Cooroy has a population of only 3500 people. This will divide
the town unnecessarily and have undoubted detrimental effects of the vibrant
village feel along with threaten the existing businesses which are currently
located in the approved business center zones not on rural land.

5. As the proposed site is situated at the entrance to the Noosa Shire from the
North is it prudent to have the first visual impression for visitors to be one ofa
fast food takeaway, petrol station, including the built form of a Caravan Park,
cabins, and storage facilities. The existing rural zoning and green belt would
