                 material change of use for a Car wash and Food and drink outlet at 34 Elm Street,
                 Cooroy, and impose reasonable and relevant conditions on the approval, including
                 conditions which require modification of the east wall to increase its articulation
                 (e.g. awning over walkway, addition of green wall elements, use of timber
                 battening etc.)
                 C. Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning
                 Act 2016.
                 D. Find the following matters relevant to the assessment and sufficient reason
                 to approve the application:
                    1. There is a strong level of economic, community and planning need for the
                    development in this location.
                    2. There is currently no car wash provided within Cooroy and the Noosa
                    Hinterland.
                    3. The proposed development will provide community benefit.
                    4. The proposed development accords with reasonable community
                    expectations, given the significant number of submissions in support that have
                    been received.
                    5. There will be significant environmental benefits for a car wash to be provided
                    in the location, resulting in improved water quality entering local waterways,
                    including Lake Macdonald.
                    6. A car wash is for the commercial washing of vehicles, which is a
                    complementary use to the existing service stations in this location.
                    7. Conditions can be imposed to address any issues raised by submitters about
                    the hours of operation of the development.
                 For:       Crs Wilson, Phillips, Lorentson, Finzel and Wegener
