Judi Lalor Australia 2015-07-15 I support local businesses, suppliers and families in Noosa Junction. I believe
the impact of more retail development at Noosa Civic to be in conflict with the
Noosa Plan. We already have retail and a proposed Coles development site in
Noosa Junction. Why not diversify with commercial and creative opportunities
at the Civic?
Jasmin tulk Australia 2015-07-16 I live in Noosa Junction and want to see local business in this area thrive -
providing local jobs and a vibrant community
Tara lees Australia 2015-07-16 Have lived in noosa for 30 years. My family owns a business in noosa junction
and I work in another local family owned business in the junction. We are
already feeling the effects of services moving out to the civic. It takes local
business away from what we called as kids the junga. I believe loosing target
country will effect our tourist $$$ as this store is very handy and $ friendly. Not
everyone that visits noosa has money and it is a great spot to get simple things
like a beach towel or blanket. I say no no no
Jodi holzapfel Australia 2015-07-16 i don't think the size of the town warrants an up sized shopping mall. I support
local.
elise waldron Australia 2015-07-16 We just don't need it. Keep the whip birds instead
Stephanie Stainlay Australia 2015-07-17 Im singing this petition because I grew up in Noosa Junction and I want local
business's to thrive.
James Quinn Australia 2015-07-19 If /target leaves it takes jobs and to much money out of the area
Jo McAlinden Australia 2015-07-21 lets keep small businesses alive in Noosa to maintain its unique culture &
diversity.
Pauline Kouw Australia 2015-07-21 I'm signing because I am against this proposal. After seeing the loss of
business for local businesses after the opening of the Civic, I think we should
learn our lesson from this. Noosa doesn't need this and the local businesses
don't need this. Instead of destroying the small businesses in Noosa we should
come up with a plan to help small businesses.
Sue Scarlett Australia 2015-07-22 Because I have been a Noosa Junction business owner for 20 years. The first
part of Noosa Civic did damage to retailers in the Junction. Seriously we do not
need more shops, This would certainly impact the local economy in a bad way.
Corine Jacqueline Australia 2015-07-23 I'm signing this because I strongly believe it would be a lot more effective to
Lefevre give the main street Sunshine beach Road a facelift and support existing
businesses rather than turn the Noosa Junction into a failure with more retail
floor space. Developers & Councillors, just take a look at the business turnover
around the Civic… what a joke! There seems to be already too much empty
space! The Civic is really badly planned with that crazy and badly designed
carpark. Enlarging does not mean improving!
Shirley Martin Australia 2015-07-24 We are signing as we live at Noosa Heads and shop locally at the Junction.
The junction offers us the variety of shops that we need. The proposed
expansion of Noosa Civic will take retailers from the Junction and deprive us
the variety of retail outlets we now enjoy at the Junction. The street scape will
be all the worse with empty/vacant premises. The Noosa Civic will also be
huge and take away from the relaxed holiday atmosphere that is appealing to
us. If we wanted this type of shopping centre at our door step we would still be
living in a city.
Mary Horan Australia 2015-07-24 I do not believe this is right for noosa

Peter Davidson Australia 2015-07-24 I am firmly against the prospose extension of Noosa Civic because it will rip
the soul out of Noosa Junction commercial centre
kara davy Australia 2015-07-27 NOOSA Civic already struggles we don't need more shops. ..let's keep the
Junction alive
Francine Gould Australia 2015-07-27 It is all about greed! We don't need it at all. There are too many empty shops
in the area now. Do not create more. Landlords must drop their rents so that
shop keepers can afford to do business.
Bron Hayes Noosaville, Australia 2015-07-27 We don't need more shops. Less is best.
Philip Amos Australia 2015-07-27 Noosa Civic is my closest shopping centre. But I detest it. No soul. Bland.
Women's clothing shops abound. Second rate Woolworths. The worst car park
ever. Civic had been the death of so much of retail Noosa. Don't let it kill the
rest!
Marie Sajeant Tewantin, Australia 2015-07-28 I enjoy the atmosphere of our local shops in the Noosa Junction it creates a
community that would be negative to Noosa to lose
Daryle Cook Australia 2015-07-28 Another vast retail centre destroys the village character that Noosa Shire has
been built on. Noosa Civic was originally approved under the guise of a
business centre not a shopping centre.
Helen Maddern Noosa Heads, Australia 2015-07-28 Damaging local retailers is not on!
Cathy Newman Australia 2015-07-28 Our local businesses need the support of our community in the present
financial conditions. The expansion of the Civic will only help to destroy these
struggling businesses.
Ebony Keech Australia 2015-07-29 I'm signing because I love to visit Noosa for its beautiful surroundings... The
laid back setting will be lost if it is replaced with cement!!
courtney g Melbourne, Australia 2015-07-29 Noosa is a beautiful hive of native flora and animal activity which is unique and
I don't want to see it destroyed.
