Two service stations are located within Cooroy:
Cooroy Reliance station at 2 Diamond Street has changed its name to Wessel Petroleum
since our earlier inspections in February 2014.
    •    BP is located at 28 Elm Street across the railway from the main central business
         area. The location is just over a kilometre from the subject site. The station has five
         pumps and limited amenity, no hot take away food and its convenience retailing is
         limited, but typical of service stations today.
    •    The Wessel Petroleum service station, located at the corner of Elm and Diamond
         Streets, is within approximately 200 metres of the BP. It provides four pumps and
         limited convenience retail. It was previously badged as a Reliance service station.
         However, both are affiliated with BP, with signage indicating that Wessel
         Petroleum accepts BP and Reliance cards.
Neither station is open 24 hours. On our most recent inspection (November 2014) the
Wessel Petroleum and BP fuel prices (unleaded and diesel) were identical, which is not
surprising given their proximity.
Figure 2.1 shows a more extensive network of service stations stretching from near Forest
Glen north to Gympie.
The nearest service station north of Cooroy along the Bruce Highway is Matilda Fuels at
Kybong, about 29 kilometres from the Myall Street site. It offers a cafeteria, fast food and
a small convenience store. It is a popular rest stop for travelers and truckers.
The nearest south bound service station on the Bruce Highway is the BP at Forest Glen,
some 31 kilometers away. It offers only a limited variety of convenience food retailing.
The nearest south bound service centre offering fast food retailers is the Shell Service
Centre at Coachin Creek, approximately 60 kilometres away.
