     Palm Lake Development document

     We, the Residents of Prospect Place, Cooroy and Trading Post Lane, Cooroy have major
     concerns with the development     and extensions of Palm Lake Resort, Cooroy. These
     predominantly   relate to the obvious increase in traffic this will bring to Pearsons Rd and
     Trading Post Lane and the potential for disruption and increase of vehicles to the residents
     of Prospect Place.



     Our concerns are as follows -



         1. Pearsons Road is the feeder road of approximately     100 existing dwellings.   The Palm
            Lake development    has the potential to increase traffic volume by 300%.



        2. Trading Post Lane will have an increased traffic flow of approximately     500 vehicles a
            day. You can clearly see that this lane/road is a residential road not built for such
            volumes.


        3. We believe there will be insufficient space for staff and visitor parking on site and
            that this will overflow into Prospect Place and Trading Post Lane, so impeding
            resident's safe passage to their properties.   This has the potential to compound
            when the respite centre is built. It is worth noting that Prospect Place is a single lane
            cui de sac with many small and school age children residing there.


        4. The current shape/configuration     of the entrance, and therefore   exit, of Pearsons
            Road onto Elm Street can be difficult because of this. There has been accidents in
            there in the past. The volume of traffic already indicates that a turning lane is
            required and this will only get worse if the entry to the Palm Lakes development        is
            off Trading Post Lane.


        5. The main entrance to the Palm Lakes Development could be off Elm Street and or
            Lamonts Road, with turning lanes off Elm Street and perhaps the extending of the 60
            kph speed limit to start from Lamonts Road.


        6. We note a development      application has been submitted for a building already built
            on Pearsons Road. We note that this building does not appear to be fastened to the
           ground i.e. not cyclone proof. We are concerned that the Palm Lakes Resort group
           maybe acting with an attitude of 'do now and seek permission later'?"


    We, the Residents would ask that these items above be considered in great detail and either
    our concerns alleviated or alternative   access routes into the Palm Lake Development be
    sought.
