Dear Mr Murphy,

              Submission in opposition to the Development Application
                            MCU 16/0153 & REC16/0041

EFFECTIVE PLANNING POINTS THAT DEFEND THE INTREGRITY OF THE NOOSA PLAN

I strongly object to the inclusion of the housing estate in this proposal, but in
particular, the lack of visitor accommodation being provided as required by the Noosa
Plan.

The proposed development significantly conflicts with the Noosa Plan for the following
reasons:
   • The proposed development being located within the Open Space Recreation Zone
      does not contribute to the desired lifestyle of residents because it does not offer
      a variety of passive and active recreational experiences that are conducive to
      community interaction and wellbeing;

   •   The proposed development seeks to provide a small lot housing development
       and, in particular, Multiple Housing Type 4 – Conventional which is not a
       consistent use in the Open Space Recreation Zone;

   •   The proposed development seeks to provide Visitor Accommodation Type 4, but
       not in association with Visitor Accommodation Type 2, and therefore is not
       consistent with the Open Space Recreation Zone;

   •   The proposed application appears to reflect an incorrect site cover percentage
       where some structures have not been included in the calculation. An example of
       this is the stair and entry for the Reed Beach Houses (refer pages SD12 and
       SD23). This is a clear omission and indicates that either the developer is seeking
       to misrepresent the proposed site cover or they have been inaccurate in their
       calculations by error. In either case the Noosa Council has an absolute duty to
       reject the application until all inaccuracies have been identified and included in
       the Council’s deliberations on whether this DA should be accepted.

   •   The proposed development does not protect the Peregian Beach caravan park
       site for low cost visitor accommodation;

   •   Visitor Accommodation Type 4 is being proposed on the land, but is not
       integrated as part of a caravan park use or other form of budget
       accommodation;

   •   The proposed buildings and structures are not designed and sited to be
       attractive, comfortable and accessible to the public or provide suitable
       landscape treatments and amenities, conducive to community interaction and
       convenience and public safety;
