             GSLC - adjoining land user

32.      The site is currently a vacant block and adjoins GSLC, an educational facility of
         approximately 900 students from prep to year 12.

33.      In particular, the site directly adjoins the GSLC 14 metre outdoor toddler pool. The
         GSLC 25 metre outdoor pool is next to the toddler pool. There is no fence or other
         solid structure between the boundary of the site and the toddler pool. The pool
         facility, apart from constant school use, is utilised all year round by Diamond Swim
         (GSLC’s Swim School). The pool facility is open for training and /or use from 5.30am to
         7.30pm and teaches babies from 8 weeks of age. The pool facility is also available for
         the public to hire.

34.      The site also adjoins the GSLC music rooms and HPE Centre, which is used
         continuously by the school. The HPE Centre is also available for external hire,
         including basketball, netball, indoor soccer, volleyball, badminton and major
         functions. In addition, the EFM Health Club, Noosaville operates out of the upper
         floor of the HPE Centre, which is open for use between the hours of 6am to 7.30pm.

35.      The HPE Centre has a series of high level air intake louvers facing the site. (See
         photograph below). If the service station proceeds and the “vapour wall” is
         constructed, there is nothing to prevent the emissions going over the barrier and
         through the HPE Centre louvers and into the HPE Centre. Even though the vapours
         are heavier than air, if the wind is from the west or south west, it will blow the
         emissions towards the pool and HPE Centre.
