             Change of Use (Roadside Stall) to include a Food and Drink Outlet, situated at

             A. Approve, in part, only (with amended Condition 2) and part refusal.
             B. Approve the change to Condition 2 as outlined in Attachment 1.
             C. Refuse the Food and Drink Outlet component of the application for the
             following reasons:
             1. This element of the proposal does not advance the elements and strategies
             of the South East Queensland Regional Plan as it does not value add to the site’s
             on-farm agricultural activities.
             2. This element of the proposal is contrary to the Intent and Outcomes of the
             Strategic Framework, Section 3.3.1 (e) and Section 3.3.5 (h), (v) and (w) as:
             a) The proposal is not a rural activity or a rural enterprise and such uses are
             intended to be located in business centres to contribute to their vibrancy.
             b) The proposal does not value add to the site’s rural activities, would be the
             primary use on the site and is in no way ancillary to the approved roadside stall.
             c) The proposal predominantly caters to passing trade, largely locals in the area,
             and has only a limited tourism focus.
             3. This element of the proposal is not consistent with overall outcomes (b), (i)
             and performance outcomes PO1, PO4 and PO8 of the Local Plan Code for
             Cooroy as:
             a) The proposed use is located outside the urban boundary and the Cooroy
             town centre.
             b) The proposed use will adversely interrupt the landscape character and visual
             amenity of Mary River Road, being very different to uses envisaged in rural areas
             of the Shire.
             4. This element of the proposal is contrary to overall outcomes (a) & (l) and
             performance outcomes PO1, PO5 & PO13 of the Rural Zone Code as:
