Furthermore, the proposed carwash is an industrial use that provides limited employment
opportunities and reduces the amount of District Centre zoned land available for commercial,
community and entertainment related uses and supermarket-based retailing which is anticipated
for the zone. This aspect is further reviewed in section 4 below.
3.3.2 Local Plan Area
The Cooroy Local Plan Code includes several outcomes applicable to the proposed development.
Overall Outcomes of the Code include:
     (h)            The western side of Cooroy town centre is maintained as the traditional town
             centre and the eastern side has a supporting role providing small-scale businesses
             offering convenience goods and services for residents and visitors.

     (k)     Development retains and maintains the country town feel, traditional built form, heritage
             and streetscape character of the town centre, with Maple and Emerald Streets
             enhanced as wide, attractive and pedestrian-friendly main streets.

     (l)     Development in the town centre addresses the street, provides active frontages and
             complements the traditional streetscape by exhibiting a scale proportional to the
             character of the streetscape of which it forms part.
The Cooroy Local Plan Code also includes a number of Performance and Acceptable Outcomes
relating to streetscape and built form which require:
     •     The establishment of attractive streetscapes.
     •     High standards of architectural design and landscape treatment consistent with
           streetscape character.
     •     Buildings, structures and landscaping consistent and reflective of traditional country town
           character.
     •     Building design to reflect the Queensland vernacular, suit the subtropical climate and
           address the street.
