3. Details of Submission
I, Jon Rottman, make the following submission:
1. The proposed development will have egregious environmental impacts on the nearby creek, wetland, and Emu Swamp
section of the Noosa National Park. The creek and wetland, which is fed by an ecologically valuable natural spring, supports
several vulnerable species of frog as well as the Ground Parrot. During construction the influx of heavy vehicles to nearby
areas will cause irreversible damage through erosion and soil fragmentation. Long term, there will be more traffic, more
noise, and increased human presence on an ecologically sensitive site. This development is unacceptable for this area.
 2. The development plan does not mention the Wallum Froglet, the Wallum Rocketfrog, the Wallum Sedgefrog, or the
Ground Parrot. All of these species have been sighted in the area and are extremely vulnerable. As stated above, this
development will destroy their habitats. The plan put forward by the developers makes no mention of these species, and
shows a lack of interest in the long-term impacts of the development on the environment and the general livability of our
town.
3. The development plan does not include any provision for low-income housing or even low-income holiday
accommodation. It beggars belief that land formerly set aside by town planners as an inclusive community space would ever
be approved as a money-making venture for wealthy investors.
4.The plan makes no provision for public amenities or public walkways or spaces. It has no landscaping or greenery of any
kind. Noosa’s Master plan intended a leafy green atmosphere for Rufous Laneway and Pocket Park which would have been
aesthetically pleasing and encouraged pedestrian and parking access for the town. With a 7m tall structure just 2m away t​ he
aesthetic features of this plan will be severely impacted.
