MCU170049 - Submission - Tracy & Jim Blayney

 

Another issue for concern is traffic and parking.

14.21 (058) Safe vehicular access is provided to and from the site without adversely impacting on the
safety of the road network; AND .

This is a “local issue” and effects the traffic flow into Heritage Park Estate in general. It is only a small estate
and one of the many benefits of living there is the fact that the majority of vehicles entering the Estate reside
there. The traffic flow would definitely increase with more families continually coming and going for
swimming lessons. The traffic noise from these extra vehicles would therefore increase also.

There is a small park, Kitty Noble Park, in the Estate that the local children play in. I have concerns about
the extra traffic and the safety and well being of the children when they are playing in the park also.

(059.1) A minimum of 4 car parking spaces are provided on the site of the business

The house at the proposed development only has a double garage so therefore this requirement is unable to
be satisfied. The only way to adequately accommodate the necessary vehicles would be for them to park on
the street in front of other residential houses which is completely inappropriate and would negatively impact
on the neighbouring properties.

I have attached two letters with this submission. One of them being from the tenants currently occupying the
property at 7 Fuller Court and the second letter is from Keegan’s class teacher at Nambour Special School
confirming his challenges with noise on a daily basis. After reading the email from our tenants, I have grave
concerns about the future “rentability” of the property, not to mention the decrease in property values in the
area. :

Finally, I ask that Council recognises the need to ensure all adjoining properties (of 8 McKenna Court) are
able to, and continue to, enjoy a reasonable level of amenity and reject this proposal as a Swim School in a
residential area is not acceptable ON ANY LEVEL. [also ask anyone involved in the decision making
process to consider whether they would be happy if a Swim School was given approval adjacent to, or near,
their home. Think you’d be pretty hard pressed to find someone who would!

Should you require any additional information or clarification of any comments made, please do not hesitate
to contact either of us on 0431093566 (Jim) or 0432671009 (Tracy).

Kind Regards,
