3. Details of Submission
Friends of Lake Weyba make the following submission OBJECTING to the Development Proposal
MCU16/0153:
    1. The proposed development is located in the Open Space Recreation Zone and does not comply with
       the Noosa Plan (October 2016). There are no public interest grounds to justify approval.
    2. The proposed development ignores Noosa Plan requirements for low density, low impact housing and
       with houses priced from $725,000 to $850,000, this proposal does not provide suitably priced
       accommodation for the needs of the local community and conflicts with the existing and desired public
       amenity, open space and village lifestyle.
    3. On the western side, the development’s impact on Rufous Creek and the wetland, both during
       construction and upon completion is of great concern, as is the planned density of housing in this
       ecologically sensitive zone adjacent to Noosa National Park. Some 25,000 cubic metres of imported fill
       will be required, giving rise to 150 truck trips per day for at least 3 months along David Low Way, down
       Sandpiper Court, through the IGA carpark and then back via the Heron St roundabout.
    4. The National Park land at the rear of the proposed site connects directly to Murdering Creek and Lake
       Weyba. High density housing adjoining this land could potentially have an adverse effect on Lake
       Weyba through changes in water flow and pollution from stormwater runoff.
    5. Greatly increased traffic and congestion is assured during construction and after completion as traffic
       queues currently form at all accesses to the roundabout, particularly at daily peak times and during
       school and public holidays. The proposed development will cause serious additional congestion that
       will be impossible to mitigate in the future. The proposal’s Traffic Impact report mysteriously relies on
       outdated development approvals and the old Noosa Planning Scheme, while ignoring the traffic to and
       from the commercial premises (IGA, pharmacy etc).
    6. The proposed development has a high density of buildings and infrastructure, with inadequate side
       setbacks, inadequate vegetation and shade, and is not integrated with the natural site.
