Dear Mr Knaggs

Re: Development Application for a Material Change of Use by Viridian Noosa Pty Ltd
Application Number MCU10/2127

I am writing to object to the pending application by Viridian Noosa Pty Ltd (Receivers and Managers Appointed) c/- Humphries Reynolds Perkins, hereafter referred to as “the applicant”.

The applicant is seeking a material change of use in the current terms of the development application over land at 5 Morwong Drive, Noosa Heads (Lot 900 on SP207311) from “Visitor Accommodation – Type 4 Conventional” to Multiple Housing – Type 4 Conventional and Visitor Accommodation – Type 4 Conventional over 38 specified dwelling units”.

I am an owner of a villa in the complex known as Viridian Noosa Residences that are located adjacent to the Viridian Noosa Resort and which were built as the second stage of a broader development on Noosa Hill, approved in 2001.

As an owner in Viridian Residences I do not support the application for a material change of use. My arguments for this objection are contained in detail in the  submission lodged by the Body Corporate for Viridian Noosa Residences.

The grounds for my objection are three fold. The current mix of visitor and resident occupancy in the original proposal is consistent with the vision of the Noosa Plan and protective of this vision.  I further argue that there are potential negative economic impacts of approving such a change , not only on the value of our dwellings, but more widely in setting a dangerous precedent that could affect the local tourism Industry.  Finally, I am concerned that the changes will result in increased vehicular traffic, which will compound an already difficult set of vehicular access issues via Morwong Drive.

Yours Faithfully
