Tools taken in break-in

OWNERS of a Cooroy business are in shock after a recent break-in.

A thief broke into Cooroy Landscape Supplies late last month and stole a “substantial amount” of power tools.

Owner Siona Howard told the Cooroy Rag that they cut through locks, smashed a window and kicked in the door to steal power tools and other general tools from the property.

“One of our cameras caught someone in there, early Sunday morning. It is obvious they were also looking for money because they broke into the office by smashing the window and opened all the drawers and cupboards. But no cash is ever left on site.”

Siona said the incident is now in the hands of the police and thanked Cooroy Police Sergeant Mal Scott, for responding so quickly.

Woolies consultation still to come

WOOLWORTHS are yet to confirm dates for their engagement process with the Cooroy community in regards to a supermarket on Myall Street.

A Woolworths’ spokesperson told the Cooroy Rag that they are still finalising the dates.

“Once we have finalised the dates, we will let the Cooroy community know. We look forward to speaking to as many local residents as possible.”

Consultation with the Cooroy community was expected to begin last month. During the engagement process, Woolworths aims to meet with local residents and community groups, use pop up information stands and create a dedicated project website with access to the project team via phone and email channels.

Woolworths confirmed with the Cooroy Rag last month that their plans are to build a ‘full line’ supermarket with drive-through and pick up facilities, specialty retail and car parking on the 6.6 hectares of vacant land.

“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.”

Word on the street… Word on the street...

THERE was a rumour going around that McDonald’s had an option on the vacant block of land in Emerald Street opposite the Amcal Pharmacy.

The Cooroy Rag can confirm this is not true. A McDonald’s spokesperson told the Rag, that they do not own the land mentioned or any land in Cooroy for that matter.

“But we are always open to new opportunities in the region,” the spokesperson said. Not sure we’d like to see the golden arches towering over Cooroy anytime soon. What about you?
