I object to this development strongly for the following reasons:-

Primarily this is koala and other wildlife habitat - koalas in Noosa Shire are listed as threatened.
When this site was rst developed by Mirvac, people remember seeing koalas fleeing across the
road and over the bridge - never to return. The same will happen again, as soon as building and
stripping of vegetation starts, despite the views and advice of all the experts in environmental
and wildlife sustainability. Do they live here? Local people know what happens - we’ve seen it all
too often. When will we learn?

Noosa is a biosphere - this is a very important pocket of pristine land and shore by Weyba Creek,
which must be treated with utmost care and consideration. Residents are fed up with the steady
chipping away of our environment for tourism. Given the repercussions of this development the
use of the term ‘eco cabins’ is a true misrepresentation.

Surely Noosa Heads cannot need more short term accommodation. It really is a slap in the face
for those who cannot afford to work and live here due to the crippling price of accommodation.

Sadly this is greed - the worst of all human addictions… let’s not let Noosa become so at the
mercy of development and tourism. We have other qualities.



Yours sincerely
