This letter serves to certify as a letter of support to COOROY ECOWASH business plan in
regards to its planned environmental impact.
As a sustainability consultant having worked with Tourism Noosa, Noosa Council and
Sunshine Coast Council, I am pleased to see the following best practice operational plans for
this business.
COMMUNITY COMMITMENT & SUPPORT
Chris and Joanne have engaged local communities, asked for advice and planned their
business model around sustainable principles and recognised the Kabi Kabi people the
original inhabitants on the land where their business is planned.
ENERGY
The solar energy produced not only from the business rooftop but also from adjacent land
proposed, is planned to produce more energy than the business uses, and therefore could be
considered carbon positive in sending renewable energy back to the grid. The team have
met with me to discuss the process of becoming a “carbon neutral” business and measuring
their carbon emissions in the first year of business will be part of this process. We encourage
the implementation of Electric Vehicle charging as another facility in this space.
WATER
Even with the anticipated 40,000 litres of underground water storage shown here and
rainwater harvesting - which is double the minimum requirement we are pleased to see plans
to hold more than this amount in the future. Conserving potable water by recycling and
storing ground water whenever we can is an important key element in this plan and their
recognition of local Cooroy aquifers and its impact to locally endangered species is respected.
