WOOLWORTHS LODGE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION
29 May 2024 – Rod Ritchie, CARA President
Here is the link to the Woolworths Cooroy website where their development application is described in more detail.
Note, there’s plenty of time for community consultation and Noosa Council will be keen to hear what we all think about this proposal.
The supermarket chain, Woolworths, has purchased the Myall St property across the road from the GemLife proposal and have signalled their intention to lodge a development application for a large supermarket and associated businesses.

UPDATE ON MYALL STREET LAND SALE TO WOOLIES
Things are moving faster than I first thought on this.
The Courier Mail reports today:
“Woolworths had started planning for site and was set to propose a mix of uses including a new full-line supermarket with a drive through and pick-up facility, speciality retail, new carparking and other uses depending on local needs.
“Our vision is to create a high-quality shopping and community destination that complements the village feel of Cooroy while enhancing convenience for local residents – many of whom currently drive to Tewantin, Noosaville or Peregian Springs to shop in a full-line supermarket,” Ms Powell said.
“We welcome community interest in our plans and will shortly be commencing a comprehensive engagement process with both community and stakeholders to inform our future plans for this site.
“We look forward to speaking to as many local residents as possible.”
