Properly made submission (object) Brett Kennedy MCU13/0171

         The house that I grew up in in Yandina is one street back from the Yandina Markets.

My mother still lives there. As such, I am very much aware of negative effects that such
markets have on residents. Mum is virtually a prisoner in her home of a Saturday morning

from before daylight to just after lunch. The "world" passes by, parks at and looks into her

yard. She locks herself in and closes the house up every Saturday morning. The ongoing and
relentless petty theft on a Saturday morning from her yard and from around her house and

shed is annoying, frustrating and at times a heartbreaking. To have a market on my

doorstep would be unacceptable. After working all week, surely I am entitled to some peace
and quiet on weekends. Surely there are enough markets around the Sunshine Coast

already. The grey nomad proposal would also mean that the site is active on weekends. This
is simply unacceptable.


Access


         If the proposal was to go ahead I would ask that access for this facility would be via

the existing entrance at the southernmost corner of the site or at the gate currently marked

as "Gate 2." The area of   gallery forest and bush that is on the south western corner of my
property would help to create a better visual, noise and privacy screen for the bulk of my
property than the proposed entrance to the Wimmer’s site. Given that there appears to be
plans to develop the site as a tourist attraction, attention needs to be given to limiting the
negative effects that such operations would have on my property and my way of life. I did
not invite the world to my doorstep and am incredibly unhappy about this turn of events

and angrily unsupportive of them.


Noise


         In addition to the points raised above with regards to noise pollution from the new

development, I am stunned by some major flaws in the "Environmental Noise Level Study
for Proposed Manufacturing Facility, 271 Lake Macdonald Drive, Lake Macdonald" that was

conducted for Cooroy Property Trust Ltd c/- Lavin Trading by David Moore Associates Pty

Ltd.


         My house is listed as the "closest southeast residence" and it is listed as being
"approximately 230m" from the proposed new factory. Using a 1m trundle wheel I have
measured the distance from my house to the proposed factory’s front gate and have

measured it as being 123m. This is almost half of the "approximated distance." Given that

the driveway that would service the new factory and that traffic would be entering and

exiting to and from Lake Macdonald Drive here I put to you that some of the components
that are calculated for valuing noise pollution from the factory should in fact be calculated

from Lake Macdonald Drive. I measured this distance to be 101m.This is less than half of

the "approximated distance." The distance to the house that is marked as "the nearest

eastern residence" is estimated at being "approximately 220 metres" from the factory. The

distance from the factory front gate to the gate of this house I measured to be 189m (along
