The proposal respects the scale and character of the Cooroy area and is well located as it
adjoins the Cooroy local centre and is close to public transport.
Access
The proposal is located on the corner of Garnet and Wattle Streets, with the development
accessing from Wattle Street. Previous discussions with the applicant indicated a preference for
access to be from Wattle Street, as this is the lower order street and additional access points on
Garnet Street, being a heavy vehicle bypass are not desirable. Garnet Street is used during the
day by vehicles over 4.5 tonne between 7am and 7pm, with heavy vehicles not permitted through
town during business hours. Outside of these hours heavy vehicles are required to use Maple
Street.
