          school boundary
                                                       10m is in effect too close to the School boundary
                                                       to ensure the safety of the children attending the
                                                       School. We have demonstrated elsewhere in this
                                                       document that international and Australian best
                                                       practice demands that service station facilities be
                                                       set back a far greater distance from the School.

     2.   The nearest structure on the school          The relevance       of this statement    is unclear and if
          boundary is the pump house for the           anything    demonstrates        the     proximity    of     the
          school pool                                  proposed service station to the School pool
                                                       facilities used by toddlers and young children.

     3. The      proposed  service  station is         Visual distinction     is the least of the concerns that
          orientated away from the school and          are associated with the location of a service
          towards      the Eumundi-   Noosa    Road    station adjacent to, indeed adjoining, a School
          frontage, providing visual     distinction   and its associated      health and physical education
          between both sites.                          facilities.

     4.   The service station refuelling area is       The Applicant        provides  no justification   for its

                                                       greater than 25m:


                                                       In the contrary we have demonstrated elsewhere
                                                       in this document that international and Australian
                                                       best practice    demands     that service  station
                                                       facilities be set back a far greater distance from
                                                       the School.

     5.   All   vehicle access relating to the         The relevance of this statement is once again
          service station and future proposed          unclear. The access being off Eumundi-Noosa
          Lot 2 development    is obtained via         Road, which        is the same as the access          to the
          Eumundi- Noosa Road which is more            School and only a short distance away creates
          than suitably distanced from the             the potential for increased traffic queuing and

     6. A dedicated pedestrian pathway from            Again the relevance       of this statement      is unclear.

          building, thus reducing any potential        shop, which is undoubtedly          the main purpose of
          conflict  between    pedestrians and         the development, that is to encourage the school
