Properly made submission (object) Brett Kennedy MCU13/0171

             In addition to these points, there are major flaws in figures used in the noise study

and effects need to be recalculated using more exact figures before any proposal can be

considered.


         Lake Macdonald and the Botanic Gardens are a show piece for what will soon again

be the Noosa Shire Council. The properties on Lake Macdonald Drive are of a larger size and

are for the most part zoned as rural settlement or rural.     Clearly, the residents here enjoy
space and peace and quiet. An industrial precinct would clash with the look and feel ofthe

area and with the values of the      people who live in this rural settlement area. The brickworks
was a remnant from times gone         by. It is gone. A community that is at odds with the
commercial use of this rurally zoned site has grown up and the around the site. Industrial

areas no     longer fit with the other uses of the area. Lake Macdonald Drive is populated now.
The increased traffic and noise pollution and increased risks of other types of pollution that

an industrial    precinct would pose in this area and on a watercourse need to be carefully
considered.


         Given the;


         -
             contentiousness of this plan, an industrial development on land in a rural zone and

surrounded by land zoned as rural and rural settlement


         -the demonstrated need for further, careful, necessary and much more accurate

study of a number issues (flooding, Noise Study) to be carried out,

         -the long term negative effects on residents,


         -
             the showcase nature of the area for Noosa Shire Council {Lake Macdonald, The

Botanic Gardens and the majority of the development in the area being residences on rural,

rural settlement propertiesL


         -the fact that the area will very shortly revert to Noosa Shire Council’s control and

will therefore be under the responsibility of Noosa Shire Council.


I suggest and request that a decision on this proposal be left until all necessary and adjusted

studies are completed and be left for such a time so as that Noosa Shire Council can decide

on any   proposals for the site in question.

         I would like to further discuss some of the points that I have already raised.


Flooding

         Flooding of my property has been made worse by the raised level of the road, the
existing changes to the soil profile, the angle and height of the land that the proposed new
factory would sit on,the extent of the modifications to and in the yards of the old
brickworks and through the culverts under the road’s inability to effectively handle the

volume of water that can occur during floods.
