                 7) Long-term increased traffic on bin collection days, due to the inability of the rubbish
                 trucks to turn around within the development. Once a circuit of the development is
                 undertaken, the trucks will need to exit & utilise the roundabout on David Low Way to then
                 return & go the opposite direction to collect bins on the opposite side of the road.

                 8) The traffic management plan for the development seems to under-estimate the potential
                 number of vehicles that would be exiting the development. As the units on the eastern side
                 of the proposed development have self-contained “flats”, those 10 additional residences
                 have been left out of the calculations. Those flats could be rented out as “Studios” and
                 consequently have additional implications for traffic movements.

                 9) The Conference Room in the Hotel/Motel has no independent parking allocated. The
                 development application suggests that the Conference Room would only be used by people
                 residing within the Hotel/Motel complex. I don’t believe that intent would last very long into
                 the future. I envisage the room being available for lease to a variety of groups, which would
                 have unsatisfactory implications re parking by attendees.

                 10) The development application does not provide sufficient number car parks for
                 employees in the Hotel/Motel [at least 15 people (full-time and part-time)] There is also the
                 issue of where contractors would park (eg. cleaners privately engaged). Those without
                 carparks would then potentially park in the IGA carpark area, resulting in increased
                 congestion & traffic problems. This would push the problem elsewhere, in the Village that is
                 already suffering from limited parking.

                 11) Diminished vistas across the National Park to Mt Cooroy due to bulky Hotel/Motel
                 building’s projected heights. The views west from the IGA carpark will be significantly
                 diminished when the 3-storey hotel/motel is constructed. Council needs to ensure height
                 specifications are accurate & the current expansive views are maintained. Here’s an
                 opportunity to protect & showcase the intent of Noosa’s logo ‘Different by nature!’

                 12) The proposed development is not consistent with the reasonable expectations of
                 residents, given the Peregian Beach Caravan site is zoned to primarily provide for budget
                 visitor accommodation. The Open Space Recreation zone in Peregian Beach specifically seeks to
                 protect and retain the site for low cost visitor accommodation needs reflective of the site’s previous
                 use as a caravan park, but also acknowledges that a range of visitor accommodation may be
                 provided where integrated with budget accommodation. There is no support given to permanent
                 residents on the site.

                 13) Other concerns include density of buildings & infrastructure within the precinct, the
                 provision of scarce green space/vegetation/shade, preferred orientation to sunlight &
                 natural breezes, the provision of public access pathway between two story buildings, with
                 little to recommend passive surveillance or a non threatening environment, particularly at
                 night.

                 14) So many missed opportunities to work with community in consultation with Noosa
                 Council’s Master Plan for Rufous St & the adjoining laneway to add to the amenity. The
                 north western corner’s existing vegetation could have seen the creation of green
                 space/parkland to embellish the precinct for visitors & local community with potential to
                 make connections between Rufous St /laneway with this development instead it separates
                 itself from the village feel.
