Submission Letter · MCU18/0015

Conclusion:

Locality Planning and Consulting have been engaged by a local resident and property owner
to lodge a formal submission against Development Application MCU18/0015 lodged to Noosa
Shire Council. This submission has clearly demonstrated that the current proposal does not
conform to not only the planning intent of the local area, but the over-arching principles of the
Noosa Plan 2006 and should be refused by Council on Planning Grounds.

The current concerns regarding the proposed development, are all legitimate in that they
highlight the conflicts with the planning scheme and how the proposal diminishes the existing
residents amenity and locale. In summary ;

The proposed development is clearly in conflict with the entire Planning Scheme intent;
The proposed development poses a significant detrimental impact on the existing
amenity of neighbouring properties and if approved diminishes their values;

Is significantly harmful in its impacts on established vegetation on site;

Is significantly harmful in its impact on native fauna with particular reference to the
Grey-headed Flying Fox, as outlined within ecology assessment and Native Wallaby
and Koala as seen regularly by local residents;

The steep grade of the site is unsuitable for the proposed development, without
extensive earthworks and subsequent negative environmental impacts;

The proposal is overdevelopment of the site compared to its existing zoning intent;
and

Subsequent increased traffic movements and their negative impacts from additional
vehicle trips generated by the proposal and lack of in-depth assessment creates safety
and liveability concerns.

Yours faithfully
