Introduction

Section 1 Introduction
CDM Smith was engaged by Coles Group Property Developments Ltd to prepare an economic need and impact
assessment associated with multiple applications over land at 8 Roys Road, Beerwah. Ultimately the development
would be known as the Beerwah Homemaker Centre. The applications include a variation application over the entire
site to override the planning scheme and designate the land as Specialised Centre. The variation application will be
accompanied by applications for two development permits, including:
     Coles supermarket (3,768 sqm) and Showroom (600 sqm)‐described herein as supermarket and related uses;
     Fast food pad sites (2)(combined GFA of 588sqm); and
     Service station (co‐located with one of the fast food pad sites).
The remaining land outside of the supermarket and related uses and the fast food pad sites that are subject to the
applications for development permits, is anticipated to accommodate predominantly bulky goods and retail
showrooms with complementary and ancillary uses. It is envisaged that the balance of the site would be developed
over a number of stages.
Shaping SEQ identifies Beerwah as a Major Activity Centre. Under the regional plan, Major Activity Centres are,
among other things, intended to fulfil higher order retail functions. Despite this, Beerwah’s highest order retailer is a
full line Woolworths supermarket. The Beerwah Major Activity Centre currently does not fulfil its intended role and
function. A key reason for this is the constrained nature of Beerwah centre zones, with there being limited
opportunities for new development within centre zones, particularly those of a scale that would contribute to
Beerwah meeting its Major Activity Centre role and function. The addition of a Coles supermarket and additional
retail showrooms within Beerwah would contribute to moving Beerwah towards achieving its intended role and
function.
CDM Smith’s brief was limited to assessing the economic need and impact for the Coles supermarket, showroom and
fast food pad sites on the subject site. Additionally, our brief was to consider the future demand for retail showrooms
on the balance of the land covered by the variation application.
Figure 1‐1 provides an outline of the concept masterplan for the Beerwah Homemaker Centre.

Trade Area Overview

Section 2 Trade Area Overview

2.1          Trade Area Definition
The trade area(s) for the Beerwah Homemaker Centre have been defined having regard to the following key factors:
     Existing retail centres network, including existing, approved and designated centres;
     Layout of the proposed development and relationship to site access;
     Existing road network and accessibility of the site to the surrounding area;
     Co‐location with or proximity to any other core attractors;
     Location, role and function of surrounding centres, including existing, approved and designated centres;
     Physical or psychological barriers that might impede custom, such as potential severance created by the Bruce
      Highway; and
     Australian Bureau of Statistics geographic boundaries, for which Census data is available.
There have been three trade areas defined for the Beerwah Homemaker Centre, these being the Primary Trade Area
(PTA), Secondary Trade Area North (STA North) and Secondary Trade Area South (STA South), with the combined
three trade areas referred to as the main trade area.
The PTA is comprised of the suburbs of Beerwah and Peachester. The STA North comprises the state suburbs of
Landsborough, Mooloolah Valley and Mount Mellum. The STA South comprises the suburbs of Glass House
Mountains and Beerburrum. Figure 2‐1 illustrates the Primary Trade Area (PTA), Secondary Trade Area North (STA
North) and Secondary Trade Area South (STA South) as well as the location of the Beerwah Homemaker Centre and
existing centres servicing the trade areas.
The trade areas encompass land that is identified as part of the Beerwah East Identified Growth Area. Development
of this growth area would have implications for retail demand and potentially centres network planning in and around
Beerwah. The Beerwah East Identified Growth Area is not anticipated to see development commence until after
supermarket and related uses and fast food pad sites of the Beerwah Homemaker Centre are completed. However,
the potential growth associated with Beerwah East Identified Growth Area has implications for future development of
the remainder of the site subject to the variation application. Hence, this report includes a baseline scenario informed
by 2018 edition QGSO population projections and a ‘growth’ scenario that assumes the Beerwah East Identified
Growth Area sees development commence in 2023.

                                                                                                                   4

2.3           Population and Household Projections
As already mentioned, two separate population and household projection scenarios have been prepared for this
analysis considering historic rates of development, development yields, planning capacity within urban footprint areas
and the likely rollout of Beerwah East Identified Growth Area. The purpose of utilising two scenarios is to consider the
range of possible growth trends that could eventuate in the region and the consequent impacts on the timing of the
Beerwah Homemaker Centre.
A brief outline of each scenario is presented below:
       Scenario One: Informed by the latest Queensland Government Statistician’s Office (QGSO) population
        projections by SA2, with adjustments made to the projected growth rates to account for SA2 level growth that
        falls outside of the trade areas. This represents the ‘main case’ scenario;
       Scenario Two: Considers the impact of additional household growth within the Beerwah East Identified Growth
        Area over and above the QGSO population projections.
This report utilises 2018 as a ‘current’ base year, because analysis is based on financial years and at the time of
preparing this report data to June 2019 was not available.

2.3.1         Scenario One Population and Household Projections
Scenario One population projections for the PTA, STA North and STA South, benchmarked to Sunshine Coast LGA and
Queensland have been prepared using the latest (2018 edition) Queensland Government Statisticians Office (QGSO)
medium series population projections. The population of the PTA is anticipated to increase from 9,065 persons in
2018 to 11,543 persons in 2031, representing average annual growth of 1.9% per annum. Within the main trade area,
population growth is anticipated to be highest in the STA North, increasing at an average annual rate of 5.4% per
annum to 16,682 persons by 2031.
Population growth and household formation in the main trade area is anticipated to exceed the Sunshine Coast LGA
and Queensland averages. As already mentioned this represents the ‘main case’ scenario.
Table 2‐2 below reports the projected population households within the PTA, STA North, STA South, Sunshine Coast
LGA and Queensland between 2018 and 2031 under Scenario One.

2.3.2        Scenario Two Population Projections
Scenario Two population projections assume that the rate of population growth and household formation will be
higher in the PTA resulting from residential development within the Beerwah East Identified Growth area. Advice from
Project Urban has indicated that residential allotments within Beerwah East would be available within the next five
years. Our assessment has assumed that 150 lots will be taken up in Beerwah East in 2023, increasing to 350 lots
taken up in 2031, translating to ~2,250 lots taken up in the 2023‐31 period.
Based on the above assumptions, the population of the PTA is projected to increase from 9,065 persons in 2018,
increasing to 17,843 persons in 2031, or by 5.3% per annum.
The rate of population growth and household formation in the main trade area is anticipated to exceed the Sunshine
Coast LGA and Queensland averages, and be higher than under Scenario One and Scenario Two.
Table 2‐4 reports the projected population households within the PTA, STA North, STA South, Sunshine Coast LGA and
Queensland between 2018 and 2031 under Scenario Three.

2.4          Implications for Retail Demand
Average household incomes after adjusting for housing costs within the main trade area were highest in the STA South
and lowest in the PTA as of the 2016 Census. Both the STA North and STA South recorded higher household incomes
after adjusting for housing costs relative to the Sunshine Coast, suggesting higher levels of disposable income
available to spend on retail.
The average household size in all trade areas was higher than Sunshine Coast LGA and Queensland averages,
suggesting that retail expenditure on essential items such as groceries may potentially exceed regional and state
averages.
The rate of retail expenditure growth in the PTA and STA North is anticipated to exceed regional and state averages,
particularly if the roll out of the Beerwah East Identified Growth Area commences prior to 2031.

                                                                                                                             11

Centres Network

Section 3 Centres Network
The purpose of this chapter is to identify the existing, approved and designated centres servicing the identified trade
areas for the Beerwah Homemaker Centre.

3.1          Centres Hierarchy
3.1.1        Planning Scheme Centres Zones
The Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014 identifies five centres zones relevant to the subject proposal, these being:
     Principal centre zone: Principal centres provide for the widest range and highest order retail, commercial,
      residential and community facilities to be accommodated. The only land currently zoned for principal centre use
      it the Maroochydore Principal Regional Activity Centre in an arrangement that produces mixed land use
      outcomes, supports public and active transport modes and creates a large number of jobs in a wide array of
      creative and successful enterprise;
     Major centre zone: The purpose of the Major centre zone code is to provide for Beerwah Town Centre,
      Caloundra Town Centre, Nambour Town Centre and Sippy Downs Town Centre to
      –      (a) be developed as major regional activity centres for the Sunshine Coast, servicing a part of the sub‐region
             and complementing the role of Maroochydore as the principal regional activity centre for the Sunshine
             Coast;
      –      (b) accommodate a range of higher order business activities, entertainment activities, multiunit residential
             activities and community activities in an active and vibrant mixed‐use environment; and
      –      (c) have a scale and intensity of development that is commensurate with the role and function of a major
             regional activity centre as specified in the Sunshine Coast activity centre network and the applicable local
             plan code.
     District centre zone: The purpose of the District centre zone code is to provide for a range of activities that
      complement, but do not compete with, the role and function of higher order activity centres by serving the
      convenience needs of district catchments in centres that are highly accessible and well connected to the
      catchment areas that they serve. District centres are developed as well‐designed, safe and visually attractive
      business, community and employment centres, predominantly in a low‐rise building format;
     Local centre zone: The purpose of the Local centre zone code is to provide for a range of activities that
      complement, but do not compete with, the role and function of higher order activity centres by meeting the
      convenience service needs of individual rural towns and villages or coastal urban neighbourhoods and providing
      local employment opportunities. Local centres are developed as well designed, safe and visually attractive local
      convenience centres, predominantly in a low‐rise building format, where significant off‐site impacts are avoided;
      and
     Specialised centre zone: The purpose of the Specialised centre zone is to accommodate showrooms, garden
      centres, hardware and trade supplies and outdoor sales, with each tenancy to have a minimum gross leasable
      floor area of 300m². In addition, the Specialised centre zone code states that higher order and other retail
      facilities better suited to establishing within an activity centre, including supermarkets, department stores and
      discount department stores are not to be established within the Specialised centre zone.

                                                                                                                      12

Centres Network

3.2          Existing Centres
CDM Smith personnel undertook comprehensive site inspections to centres zoned land within and servicing the main
trade areas, as well as along the main travel routes between each centre. These site inspections provided on‐the‐
ground information about the size, tenant composition, layout and accessibility of existing centres, as well as scoping
the role and function of each centre. The centres network assessment focussed on centres located to the west of the
Bruce Highway, but also included those centres located on both sides of the Bruce Highway corridor.
The site inspections also identified and quantified vacant tenancies within each centre. Details relating to vacant land
and remnant housing within each centre zone within the main trade area is outlined in Section 5 of the report.
Table 3‐1 provides a summary of the centres both within and servicing the main trade area located either on the
Bruce Highway or to the west of the Bruce Highway, including details on total floor space, retail floor space, anchor
tenants and distance from the subject site.

3.2.1        Major Centres

3.2.1.1      Beerwah
Beerwah was the only major centre identified within the main trade area, with anchor tenants including Aldi,
Woolworths, Fresh & Save and Target. There was an estimated 18,079m2 of floor space identified at the Beerwah
major centre, including 12,981m2 of retail floor space. An estimated 1,138m2 of vacant tenancies were identified
within the Beerwah major centre zone, representing a vacancy rate of 6.2%.

3.2.1.2      Sippy Downs
The Sippy Downs major centre zone represents the alternative comparison shopping destination for residents within
the STA North and the location of the closest Coles to the proposed subject site (~23 kilometres between Coles Sippy
Downs and the proposed Beerwah Coles). The Sippy Downs major centre zone is located immediately south of the
Sunshine Motorway, to the north of the University of the Sunshine Coast. However, the Sippy Downs major centre has
not been comprehensively floor spaced due to its location on the eastern side of the Bruce Highway and its distance
from the subject site.
Development within the Sippy Downs major centre zone has occurred within the last few years, with major tenants
including a Coles, Liquorland and Chipmunks (indoor children’s play centre). A Woolworths anchored centre is also
located within Sippy Downs on local centre zoned land off Chancellor Village Boulevard.

3.2.2        District Centres

3.2.2.1      Maleny
Maleny has evolved since the 1980’s as a retail tourism destination known for its artistic temperament and small‐scale
enterprises. The main stretch of Maple Street is anchored by the ~ 1,500m2 IGA, with the ~3,000m2 Woolworths
somewhat isolated on the east side of Obi Obi Creek. Maleny includes various local food product, arts and crafts
stores and notable franchises include Mitre 10, Bridgestone Tyres, Ray White, ANZ and CJ’s Bakery.
The Maleny district centre zone had a total of 32,019m2 of floor space, comprising 22,279m2 of retail floor space,
7,697m2 of commercial office floor space and 2,043m2 of vacant tenancies.

3.2.3        Local Centres

3.2.3.1      Beerwah
The local centre zoned land on the western side of the rail line in Beerwah was largely utilised by industrial businesses
such as food distributors and upholsterers. At the time of site inspections, industrial sheds were under construction on
Free Street, despite the land being zoned for centre uses.
Major retail tenancies within the Beerwah local centre zone included the Beerwah Hotel (~1,200m2 over two storeys)
and the Pump House (store selling pump and irrigation systems (~770m2)).

                                                                                                                             14

3.2.3.2      Glass House Mountains
Within the Glass House Mountains local centre zone surrounding the train station, there was an estimated 2,609m2 of
floor space, comprising 2,103m2 of retail floor space and 506m2 of commercial floor space. There were no vacant
tenancies identified in the Glass House Mountains local centre zone. The site inspections identified the absence of any
clothing, footwear and apparel businesses, core bulky goods businesses or ancillary bulky goods businesses.
Glass House Mountains local centre is anchored by a ~300m2 IGA, and other notable tenants include Bottlemart, QML,
CJ’s Bakery, Mitre 10 and Golden Casket. The main section surrounding the roundabout is easily accessible and
inviting. However, the Mitre 10 and surrounding tenancies on the other side of the rail line are somewhat fragmented
from the main part of town.
Additionally, there was a parcel of local centres zoned land identified at the corner of Steve Irwin Way and Bowen
Road, south of the main local centre precinct, occupied by a Puma service station, café and greengrocer.

3.2.3.3      Landsborough
The site inspections identified a total of 6,305m2 of floor space within Landsborough, anchored by a ~450m2 IGA. The
site inspections identified a significant quantum of floor space occupied by dining and take‐away food businesses,
amounting to 2,407m2 or 38.2% of total floor space. An estimated 586m2 of tenancies within the Landsborough local
centre zone were vacant, representing 9.3% of total floor space.

3.2.3.4      Peachester
The Peachester local centre zone had an estimated 250m2 of retail floor space, occupied by a café and general store.

3.2.3.5      Beerburrum
The Beerburrum local centre zone had an estimated 336m2 of floor space, with tenancies including a café, general
store and post office.

by dining and take‐away food tenancies (~900m2).

3.2.3.8      Eudlo
The Eudlo local centre zone had an estimated 390m2 of floor space, including a café, general store and post office.

3.2.3.9      Palmwoods
Total floor space identified within the Palmwoods local centre was estimated at 7,495m2, comprising 5,747m2 of retail
floor space and 1,658m2 commercial office floor space. The major tenant within the Palmwoods local centre was a
~300m2 IGA. Dining and take away food tenancies accounted for a significant proportion of total floor space at the
centre, occupying an estimated 3,155m2.

                                                                                                                  15

3.2.4        Specialised Centres

3.2.4.1      Beerwah
The Beerwah specialised centre zone had an estimated 1,500m2 of tenancies located on Beerwah Parade, with major
tenants including a mower store and a tyre and battery store. Land within the Beerwah specialised centre zone
immediately to the west of Steve Irwin Way was identified as vacant.
Property searches have identified that vacant land within the Beerwah specialised centre zone is owned by the
Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads. Approaches to the Department have indicated this land is not
surplus to their requirements, hence will not be available for purchase. Therefore, it is considered the prospect of
developing this land for special centre uses is low.

3.2.4.2      Landsborough
The majority of land within the Landsborough specialised centre zone was either vacant or occupied by houses. A
veterinary surgery was identified within the Landsborough specialised centre zone.

3.2.5        Township Zone

3.2.5.1      Woodford
There was an estimated 14,116m2 of floor space identified within the Woodford township zone. The Woodford centre
was anchored by a Woolworths supermarket (~3,000m2) and an IGA (~2,250m2). Dining and take‐away food tenancies
also accounted for a significant quantum of floor space within the Woodford township zone, occupying ~3,332m2 of
floor space.

3.2.6        Other Centres
Retail activity outside of centres zoned land was identified at Glass House Mountains, Glenview, Palmview and
Elimbah.
A significant quantum of retail floor space at Glass House Mountains was identified on the Bruce Highway on the
southbound side, with tenancies including McDonald’s, Hungry Jack’s, Beefy’s and Subway. Retail activity within
Palmview was identified immediately adjacent to Aussie World, with a range of specialty tenancies including Subway,
Beefy’s and Cellabrations. Retail activity within Glenview was at the corner of Ballantine Court and Glenview Road
and included a café, saddlery and opal store.
A relatively new centre has been established at 459 Pumicestone Road, Elimbah, co‐located with the Big Fish Tavern.
Tenancies include a Caltex service station, the Foodary and drive thru Red Rooster. It is understood that the site has a
development approval for a Woolworths and specialty tenancies, yet construction had yet to commence at the time of
site inspections. Retail activity was also identified at an older style centre at 866‐870 Beerburrum Road, Elimbah
(Elimbah Village) with tenancies including a hairdresser and newsagent.

3.3          Approved and Designated Centres
A review of development applications identified two applications, these being the Beerwah Shopping Complex
(approved) and the Mooloolah Valley IGA expansion (under application).

3.3.1        Beerwah Shopping Complex
As mentioned above, at the time of site inspections, the Beerwah Shopping Complex had just been completed 26
Simpson Street (corner Pine Camp Road). The approved development comprises an additional 1,046m2 of gross floor
area (GFA) across two buildings. Our assessment has conservatively assumed that all additional floor space would be
occupied by specialty retail tenants.

                                                                                                                  16

3.3.2        Mooloolah Valley IGA Expansion
It is understood that a development application has been lodged to expand the IGA within the Mooloolah Valley local
centre zone from 911m2 to 1,522m2, representing a floor space increase of 611m2. However, Sunshine Coast Regional
Council considers this expansion impact assessable, as the expanded supermarket will exceed 1,000m2 in size.
Sunshine Coast Regional Council is yet to decide the outcome of this application.

3.3.3        Potential Beerwah East Centres
The Beerwah East Identified Growth Area would likely include a number of centres. At the time of preparing this
report, there was no guidance available as to the status of any structure or master planning over Beerwah East
Identified Growth Area.

                                                                                                                  17

Retail Expenditure Analysis

Section 4 Retail Expenditure Analysis
This section of the report provides an overview of retail expenditure patterns of main trade area households,
estimates the level of expenditure likely to be captured by the proposed scale of development at the subject site and
converts these estimates to supportable floor space for the sub‐categories of supermarket, specialty retail and bulky
goods, utilising the household projections presented in Section 2.3.1 of the report (Scenario One).
The outcomes of the assessment under alternative household growth scenarios (Scenario Two) are presented in
Appendix A.
Retail expenditure patterns are estimated based on the CDM Smith retail expenditure model which generates small
area retail expenditure estimates based on a simulation utilising a range of small area demographic data sourced from
the Census and ATO; regional level data from the ABS Household Expenditure Survey; and broader state and national
level data from state and national accounts.

4.1            Weekly Household Retail Expenditure
Weekly household retail expenditure estimates are presented in 2018 dollars and assume real expenditure growth of
1.0% per annum.
Average weekly household expenditure across the main trade area is expected to increase from:
         $695.63 per week in 2018 to $791.69 per week in 2031 within the PTA;
         $760.33 per week in 2018 to $865.33 per week in 2031 within the STA North; and
         $805.75 per week in 2018 to $917.02 per week in 2031 within the STA South.
Strong expenditure outcomes for the STA South relative to the other two trade areas is driven by comparatively higher
incomes, but comparatively lower housing costs resulting in comparatively high discretionary income.
Table 4‐1 reports the average weekly household expenditure by retail category for each of the trade areas between
2018 and 2031.

4.2          Annual Available Expenditure
To convert average weekly household estimates to annual available expenditure estimates, the assessment has
utilised the Scenario One household projections reported in Section 2.3.1. Annual available expenditure estimates
under Scenario Two household projections are presented in Appendix A.
Available annual retail expenditure within the main trade area is anticipated to increase from $321.86 million in 2018
to $562.24 million in 2031, or by 4.4% per annum. In 2018, the PTA is anticipated to account for 35.5% of annual
available expenditure in the main trade area, decreasing to 30.2% of annual available expenditure by 2031. On the
other hand, the STA North is anticipated to account for an increasing share of retail expenditure in the main trade
area, increasing from 36.2% of available expenditure in 2018 to 47.3% of available expenditure in 2031.
Table 4‐2 reports on the total annual available expenditure within each trade area by retail category between 2018
and 2031 (2018 dollars).
