PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                9 AUGUST 2016



 Issues                                                      Comments
    facilities, and maintaining values and exit strategies
    for existing residents - mostly long-term and older
    residents who themselves would benefit from the
    addition of residential aged care and medical
    facilities. It is the greener, cheaper and more
    economically viable option than that of bulldozing
    more trees and expanding outward for more
    residential development
  If we want young people to stay in Noosa, if we want
    more and better jobs, older people to be able to stay
    in the area, more affordable housing and we want
    to encourage more people to walk to shops and
    services rather than drive, then we need to have
    mixed-use infill development with new services and
    a range of housing options. It would go a long way
    to sating the appetite for permanent unit living
    without decimating holiday stock and resort
    managers’ livelihoods

 Residential Decay
  The properties which are included in this application Noted but not a matter for this
    are very tired, run down and can only get worse. We assessment.
    have seen the deterioration over the last 18 years.
  Deterioration of the neighbourhood has led to a
    succession of poor-quality tenancies. Project will
    lead to a quieter street – especially on weekends –
    and a pleasing border of greenery

    additional medical services
  There are vacant shops at Goodchap St Medical
    Centre

    that needs it more

 Amenity                                              The development’s primary impact
