Service centre process begins

PUBLIC consultation has begun for the proposed 24-hour Cooroy Highway service centre and tourist park, with locals urged to make submissions to council by 5 March.
The proposed service centre will include a fast food outlet, public rest area and car wash and is expected to draw its trade from the Bruce Highway.
Cooroy already has two service stations, one on Diamond Street and one on Elm Street, both of which don’t operate 24 hours.
The development would mean changes to the local planning scheme, with the area from the southern side of Myall Street to the new Bruce Highway works currently zoned as rural.
Submissions can be emailed to the CEO at mail@noosa.qld.gov.au with MCU14/0056 included in the subject line.
Written submissions can be sent to Noosa Council, PO Box 141, Tewantin 5465, and attention to the CEO.
Your name and address must be included in the submission.
