Noosa Shire Council
The Assessment Manager
for File Number MCU 16/0081

I submit that this proposed material change of use is not consistent with Noosa's Town
PIan.
This parcel of land is designated "Open Space-Recreational Use" on the Noosa Town
Plan.
This parcel of land is on Noosa National Park boundary and contains habitat important not
only to the iconic Koala, but to all the fauna and flora therein.
 Loss of habitat is the single biggest threat to Noosa Shire wildlife and further habitat loss
is totatly undesirable.

To develop this land will necessitate destruction of natural habitat and negatively impact on
the nearby waterways of Eenie Creek and Lake Weyba.

A busy facility such as an aged care residence in this location would also compound
existing traffic pressures ... all the same reasons why a similar proposalfor a nearby site
was rejected a few years ago.

Please do not grant approvalfor this development application. There are a number of
already cleared sites within Noosa's urban footprint which could service the same
perceived need and have Town Planning uses designated as consistent with good town
planning principles and the existing Noosa Town Plan.

Yours sincerely,
