MCU14/0056 Information Request

                                                                                  MCU14/0056



Issue – Need & Economic Impacts
The submitted Need Assessment provides only a limited assessment of the need for the
proposed service station component of the proposed development.

Information Required
2      Provide a comprehensive assessment of need for the service station, including
       detailed assessment of supply of facilities, demand for additional facilities, need for
       additional facilities and impact of additional facilities on the centres network.

Issue - Need & Economic Impacts
The market shares adopted in the Needs Assessment for the supermarket component of
the proposed development are considered overly optimistic, particularly given the layout of
the road network and connectivity between the subject site and the trade areas. For
example, there is limited connectivity between the subject site and the Cooroy West trade
area.

Information Required
3      Provide an amended Needs Assessment for the proposed supermarket, revised to
       reflect more plausible market shares.

4      Provide amended proposal plans revising the size of the supermarket to reflect the
       amended need assessment.

Issue - Need
The application material does not clearly explain the co-locational requirements/benefits of
the proposed uses, or the need for the development as a whole.

Information Required
5      Describe how each component of the proposed development is expected to
       integrate with and complement the other components of the development.

6      To the extent that some or all of the components might be integrated or related
       demonstrate whether there is any additional need for the development as a whole
       (or a number of components together), over and above the need for separate
       components of the development.

Issue – Alternative Sites
The application material does not adequately demonstrate why the component uses should
not be located on suitably zoned land.

Information Required
7      Provide detailed analysis of constraints on, and availability of, suitably zoned land
       within the area for the component uses. Demonstrate why the uses should be
       developed out of zone (including within a Water Supply Catchment Overlay Area).
