9. Appendix F - Economic Impact Assessment

Noosa Homemaker Centre Precinct (Noosaville)

   i.    A secondary provision of tenants is located within the Business Centre-zoned land around Noosa
         Homemaker Centre (Noosaville) in the primary sector. The centre and surrounds have a more retail
         focus, with limited non-retail showroom/display suite tenants. This is likely attributable to the internalised
         nature of the site.

   ii.   Traditional retail-type tenants located at Noosa Homemaker Centre include; Rip Curl, a gym,
         launderette, hairdresser, beauty spa and optometrist.

   iii. Tables 3.2 and 3.3 provide a gap analysis of the major national large format retail and showroom tenants
         provided throughout the Noosa total trade area and Queensland. As shown, a range of prominent large
         format retail/showroom operators are not represented within the total trade area, including but not
         limited to the following:

          ‒         Bedding: Bedshed, Sleepys, Snooze and The Sleeping Giant;

          ‒         Miscellaneous: Amart Sports, Anaconda, Clark Rubber, Kathmandu, Robins Kitchen.

  iv.    The majority of large chain brands that operate within the region are provided at both Noosa and
         Gympie, however, given the size of the defined total trade area and distance to competing large format
         facilities, several tenants that are provided within the tertiary sector could also be interested in locating
         at the Noosa site. Indicatively, these tenants may include Beds R Us, Betta Home Living, Carpet Court,
         Barbeques Galore, Robins Kitchen and Lincraft.

  v.     Beyond the trade area, the nearest closest facilities are provided at Maroochydore and Kawana, a 70
         km round trip for most residents of the trade area.
