The Proposal

This development application is for a change of Material Use f(as advised by council) which
will allow an existing vacant site in the commercial core of Cooroy to be used as a site for
fresh fish and seafood sales on 2 days of the week (Saturday and Sunday) and occasional
public holidays and Christmas Eve.

The use requires no building works, plumbing or operational works and involves no
additional advertising structures beyond those on the van itself.

The Site
                                                      ~      OMOe'.,) r
The s~e which is the subject of this DA is owned by the Nf' L 9V<J~f:t<andis currently a
vacant parcel located south of the main clubhouse. It was previously used as a car yard by
the former Honda dealership.

The s~e is a flattened fill area, completely sealed, with access from the public footpath via
the existing driveway, as shown on the attached Site Plan.

It is located within the main street, immediately opposite core retail and adjacent to the Post
Office, one of the key "book end" land uses of the centre of the town.

In short, the site has been used for core centre town uses for a very extended period of time
and is imminently suited to continued use of the proposed purpose.

The Use

Photos of the food van are attached. It is a small van (less than 15 sq.m. when the rear
canopy is fully extended) self contained food van w~h refrigeration and wash facilities. It
directly retails fresh fish and seafood and is set back several metres from the public footpath
to avoid obstruction to pedestrians.

The van is removed daily from the site and is not retainedlhoused on s~e. Thus, the sue is
very temporary in nature.

Hours of Operation

The food van will principally, operate on Saturday and Sunday mornings form 8 am to 1 pm.
It will also operate on special occasions such as Christmas Eve, Good Friday, Australia Day
etc.

Noosa Planning Scheme

The subject site is located within the Community Services Zone of the Cooroy and Lake
MacDonald Locality. On the basis of pre-lodgement advice from the Council, the use
requires MCU approval for a non-consistent, impact assessable land use. It is, therefore,
