MCU14/0106 Appendix J - Retail Needs Assessment

There are approximately 70 tenancies operating along David Low Way adjacent to the Coolum Beach
foreshore. The majority of these are retail tenants and provide local residents and tourists with a limited
range of food and beverage services, food retailing, apparel retailing and hair and beauty services.

There is a disparate range of non-retail commercial businesses within the streets surrounding the Coolum
Village Shopping Centre and David Low Way.

COOLUM LOCAL CENTRE (WEST)
The Coolum West Local Centre accommodates the Coolum Park Shopping Village, a supermarket
centre located off South Coolum Road in the suburb of Coolum Beach, approximately 14 km from Noosa
Civic. The supermarket centre is anchored by a 2,800 sq.m Woolworths supermarket and is supported
by a small range of convenience retail and non-retail uses, totalling 770 sq.m GLA. At the time of
inspection, there were three vacant retail stores.

Immediately to the north of Coolum Park Shopping Village, at the intersection of Coolum South Road and
Yandina-Coolum Road is a small collection of retail stores that focus on convenience facilities for
residents and passing motorists. Tenancies at this small centre include takeaway food catering tenancies,
a hairdresser, a video store, a computer store and a small hardware store.

COOLUM LOCAL CENTRE (SOUTH)
The Coolum South Local Centre consists of the Mount Coolum Shopping Centre, and the Mount
Coolum Day Care Centre. The Mount Coolum Shopping Centre is a small supermarket centre located on
the corner of Suncoast Beach Drive and David Low Way. It incorporates approximately 1,400 sq.m of
retail GLA, including an IGA supermarket of approximately 600 sq.m. Other retail uses include
restaurants, a bakery and a butcher.

4.11.1.2 PEREGIAN SPRINGS LOCAL CENTRE
Peregian Springs is located approximately 9.3 km south east of Noosa Civic, within the secondary south
trade area. This centre provides residents within the immediate community of Peregian Springs with
convenience retail and service facilities.

A survey of the Local Centre zoned land was undertaken in Peregian South. This included the Peregian
Springs Shopping Centre at the corner of Ridgeview Drive and the Sunshine Motorway, and other Local
Centre zoned land along Peregian Springs Drive. The total commercial GLA in these areas of Peregian
Springs is approximately 6,000 sq.m. Approximately two thirds of this floorspace comprises retail uses
and one third is occupied by non-retail uses.

The Local Centre is anchored by the Peregian Springs Shopping Centre which comprises approximately
3,700 sq.m retail GLA and is anchored by a 2,800 sq.m Coles supermarket. The specialty retail
floorspace at Peregian Springs focuses on providing convenience retail facilities to residents of the
immediate catchment and includes a mix of food catering establishments, a baker, a newsagent,
pharmacy and other retail service tenants. The shopping centre also comprises approximately 1,000 sq.m
of non-retail commercial GLA and includes a medical centre, allied health professional suites and a vet.

4.11.1.3 EUMUNDI
The township of Eumundi is located approximately 12 km south-west of Noosa Civic and is located within
the secondary south trade area. This small strip centre provides residents and visitors with basic
convenience retail facilities. Moreover, given the popular Eumundi Market and relatively large number of
tourists that visit the town to visit the market, Eumundi would also capture a substantial amount of tourist
expenditure. The designated centre zoning within Eumundi is concentrated along Memorial Drive.

There is approximately 6,300 sq.m of commercial GLA in the township of Eumundi of which
approximately 50%, or 3,100 sq.m, is classified as non-retail GLA and approximately 38%, or 2,400 sq.m,
is retail GLA. Around 700 sq.m of floorspace was recorded as vacant which accounts for 11% of the total
floorspace. The largest non-retail use at Eumundi is the Imperial Hotel, followed by a range of services
expected of a small regional town.
