THE CALILE HOTEL, SERENITY CLOSE, NOOSA HEADS.

| am a resident of Serenity Close. | have no objection at this time to the
proposed hotel and resort building provided there is no negative impact
on neighbouring properties regarding services and Serenity Close street
parking.

However, | have strong concerns regarding increased traffic and
pedestrians. It is already problematic both driving and walking in the
vicinity. Driving along either one of the two access streets (Katarina &
Grant St) to Serenity Close are, in my opinion, unsafe. Pedestrians do
not have a continuous footpath on either road and have to step out into
the road. For example, young families with pushchairs would find it
impossible to walk to Hastings St from the hotel. E-scooters and bike
riders would be equally problematic.

| also feel the traffic report submitted with the application does not reflect
the reality of traffic during school holidays/event weekends and
Christmas — it is currently difficult to access Noosa Drive and is likely to
be horrendous in a few years’ time.

(It seems to me that Banksia Street North should be opened up possibly
with either a low speed limit or speed bumps if residents are also
concerned about speed and safety).

| also think Noosa should be encouraging walkers and would like to see
a walk way from The Calile to Hastings Street along the water to Lions
Park. Although | believe the plan to introduce a boardwalk from the
Junction to Lions Park is a positive, it will likely further exacerbate
parking and safety on Grant St and Katarina St.

In summary, | feel the Council should seriously consider the safety of the
vicjnity’s infrastructure.
