Submission of Objection:
Site Facts
 1.08 hectare (4.46 acres or 18,050 m2) site is ecologically sensitive
 Sitecurrentlyfallsintoseveraldelicateenvironmentalclassifications
o ‘Biosphere overlay’ code
o ‘Of concern’ regional ecosystems
o ‘remnant habitat’
o ‘Environment Enhance or Protect status
 Loose sandy soil is a slide hazard, causing site instability since 1969
 Steep slopes up to 45% plus loose sandy soil contribute to site instability
 Native animals (wallabies and echidna) have not been included in the ecological assessment despite recent sightings by local residents on the site
 Current Open Space Conservational ready protects habitat, flora and fauna in perpetuity and retains the green visual character of the hill.
Material Change of Use (MCU) proposes
 conversion of Open Space Conservation to build to12 medium density  units
 vegetation will be stripped from 61% of site for buildings and infrastructure
 dwellings add at least 39.6 new residents, at least 33 additional vehicles
 to replace a protected wildlife corridor with an environmental reserve that reduces protection
and privacy of fauna and flora from built environment
Reconfiguration of a Lot from 1 to 3 lots:
 changes original zoning to eliminate Open Space Conservation area
 eliminates existing wildlife corridor
 is counter to the Noosa Plan to retain open space, protect local wildlife, fauna and habitats
 Proposed Lots 2 and 3 are greatly oversized (almost 50% larger) and not in keeping with the surrounding zoning legacy of Attunga Heights.

Thanking you,
