Dear Sir / Madam
                 I wish to inform you of my OJECTION to application          MCU1 O/2083
for the following reasons

           The current Noosa plan for 37 Gibson Rd is zoned "Attached housing" and as
   one side of the road is completely residential, a commercial site is not appropriate
   there.

           Skipper Place is a "No Through Road" servicing 150 houses and will not
accommodate the volume of traffic suggested in the redevelopment.
 As 37 Gibson Rd is on a roundabout there will also be major congestion on that corner.



               Need is the argument the developers are using, but all the proposed
businesses are already mirrored in the shops servicing the area in Thomas and Mary Sts
within a 5 minute walk.
The new businesses will only take staff and profit from established outlets in the area and
everyone will suffer financial hardship in these tough times.
As the area is fully built, there will be no increase in population in this area to warrant the
change. This site needs to be residential.



                  The volume of traffic proposed and mechanical equipment in use 24
hours a day will cause a constant invasion of noise and air pollution for this now quiet
residential area.
                There will also be cooking odours, scattered rubbish and permanent bright
lighting disturbing adjacent neighbours.

             There will be an increase in temperature from the carpark surface and also
by the high walls blocking the breeze to neighbouring residents.
Trees, by necessity, will also be cut down for access to the site and this will add to
temperature increase. We have an amazing variety of birds using this foliage.

           For all these reasons I request that the Council reject the plans for the
commercial redevelopment of 37 Gibson Rd.

           Yours sincerely

                         Joan Stevenson
