13. The development application could compromise public safety by encouraging pedestrian access
along a section of Pomona Kin Kin Road which is not suited to such access.

The applicant quotes the close proximity to the Noosa trail (2) as a reason that people may want to stay in the
proposed motel villas. The development property does not front the trail and access to this trial would
require walking or riding mountain bikes or perhaps horses along Pomona Kin Kin Road to the north. Given
the alignment and nature of the existing verges along this section of roadway it is suggested that such access
should not be utilized by pedestrians on in the interest of public safety.

14. ‘The proposed development will increase my current concerns that | have in relation to security of my
rural outbuilding.

My rural outbuilding which is essential to my equine use, is located about 30 metres away from my boundary
fence which is about 26 metres from the closest proposed motel villa. | have already had 3 recent incidents of
intruders on my property attempting to break into my outbuilding. The positioning of six (6) motel villas
within such a short distance of this outbuilding with my house 280 metres away will increase the chance of
more intrusions.

| am concerned about security around my rural outbuilding with up to say 24 itinerant people staying within
such a short distance of my rural outbuilding.

15. The proposed use may result in a reverse amenity situation whereby visitors in the adjoining non-
rural use, if approved, may complain that my current rural uses are creating a nuisance.

My house on my property relies on solar power whereas my outbuilding adjacent to the proposed motel villa
relies on a small mobile quiet petrol generator as it main source of power. There can be a number of reasons
why | may need to use my outbuilding night or day in association with my rural uses. The applicant’s house is
located about 250 metres from this outbuilding. Already these neighbours have complained about the small
mobile generator operating at 3pm. | utilize the generator to charge the batteries connected to my
inadequate solar system at the outbuilding so | can maintain my rural uses, lights, water pump for water and
for the toilet which is connected to an advanced septic system.

| also use that area between my outbuilding and the proposed motel villas for the farrier working on my
horses.

It is reasonable to assume the potential for such complaints would increase dramatically if visitors paid to stay
in motel villas that were between 50 and 75 metres away from my rural outbuilding when the landowners
who suggest that they operate a farm, complain about my small quiet generator operating at 3pm of an
afternoon when they are 250 metres away. We were told by the neighbor, that we can run that generator at
the outbuilding in between the hours of 10 or 11am and 2pm. | believe they want to curtail our use of the
generator to hours that are between potential future checking out and checking in times.

They have not been approved for the development yet but they are already telling us how we need to modify

our behaviour to accommodate their proposed non-rural use of rural land and affect my ability to continue to
operate on my rural land.

16. There is a concern that the people visiting the proposed motel villas could decide to enter my
property and as a result | will face increased liability in the case of trespass.
