    -- CONFIDENTIAL -- 26 February 2016 General Manager Hunter & Central Coast NSW Department of Planning and Environment PO Box 1226 NEWCASTLE NSW 2016 Dear Sir/Madam, RE: SUBMISSION TO DRAFT CENTRAL COAST REGIONAL PLAN 2015 1.0 INTRODUCTION This letter has been prepared on behalf of Woolworths Limited (Woolworths) as a formal submission to the exhibition of the Draft Central Coast Regional Plan 2015 (Draft Regional Plan). We would like to thank the Department of Planning and Environment (Department) staff from the Gosford Office for meeting with Woolworths on 29 January 2016 during the exhibition of the Draft Plans. A copy of the briefing note requested by the Department prior to this meeting can be found at Appendix A. While Woolworths is appreciative of a meeting being accommodated during the exhibition of the draft plan, we believe a co-operation approach prior to the strategic planning is most beneficial in the preparation of such a draft plan. The data, research and information Woolworths holds over its years of assessing locations and monitoring population growth is necessary research that could be made available to the Department. However, overall the draft plan provides an acceptable overview statement about the region, however the document needs to provide specific direction rather than defer to additional strategic planning yet to be undertaken. Woolworths does not wish to be critical of the work undertaken to prepare the draft plans but rather encouragethe strategic document to provide a comprehensive direction to improving and increasing the supply of suitably zoned and located retail land for supermarket infrastructure throughout the Central Coast, which we believe is a vital life line for the growing region.

As Chief Executive Officer, I am delighted to present a review of the last twelve months of trading and to highlight some of the key business initiatives that are contributing to the ongoing success of this great company. I will also present some of the main financial indicators and talk about our growth intentions in the context of the current climate of economic uncertainty. The 2008 Year in Review 2008 was another very good year for Woolworths. We exceeded our financial targets for the ninth successive year thanks to a continued commitment by our 190,000 strong team to deliver the best possible choice, value and service to our customers in all our stores, service stations and hotels. Of course 2008 has not been without its challenges. The rigorous and intensive Government Inquiry into the grocery sector was undoubtedly time consuming and costly but nevertheless did establish a formal basis of fact about the way in which we do business, and dispelled the myths which are often peddled by certain vested interest groups.

  • Coles, Woolworths, and the Local
    KEITH—COLES, WOOLWORTHS, AND THE LOCAL COLES, WOOLWORTHS, AND THE LOCAL Sarah Keith Macquarie University Abstract Australia is home to one of the most concentrated supermarket sectors in the world, and the practices of the ‘big two’ supermarkets have far-reaching consequences on food production and retail at the local level. This article surveys key issues in Coles and Woolworths’ effect on the food retail and production sectors, and looks at how these supermarkets have adapted in recent years to concerns and criticisms, as well as recent moves towards addressing these criticisms. Over the past decade, several important shifts have occurred which suggest an evolving consumer consciousness and increasing discontent with the corporatised supermarket sector. A primary concern is lack of competition, which reduces incentives to keep prices low for consumers; furthermore, these supermarkets have also been charged with wielding substantial buyer power, resulting in lower prices paid to suppliers. Quality of produce is a further issue, while the rise of private label goods such as milk is concerning for both suppliers and retail competitors. This discontent has led to an ideological opposition to these supermarkets, resulting in public campaigns to prevent their entry into towns and suburbs. Finally, new developments by Coles and Woolworths to improve their reputations, although still at an early stage, are examined. Keywords retail, supermarket, local, Coles, Woolworths Locale: The Australasian-Pacific Journal of Regional Food Studies Number 2, 2012 —47— KEITH—COLES, WOOLWORTHS, AND THE LOCAL Introduction The supermarket retail sector in Australia has the distinction of being one of the most concentrated in the world (Wardle and Baranovic, 2009: 477).
