2022-11-14 GC Agenda - Item 4 - Attachment 1 - Short Term Accommodation Monitoring Report 2022

• Influx in population bringing a burden on the infrastructure
• Loss of the rural identity. Increase of the population in the rural communities with little care for the
environment
• Too much development
• Too many people wanting to move here, so we will need more houses and jobs but then the area
will all change
• Council being pro Development
• Population growth and no infrastructure to support it.
• Managing population growth - housing density and employment
• Possibility of urban sprawl with population growth
• Noosa Council needs to control subdivision. Housing density ie Noosa needs to stay strong on their
population cap.
• Management of the population growth
Inappropriate development of the area we don’t want to end up like the Sunshine coast of the Gold
coast
• There is too much development, maintain the environment
• The increase in population will change the area where we live forever
• Very concerned about the changes happening in the local area. People say its progress, but we were
promised a capped population


Traffic/Congestion/Roads
• Overcrowding
• Too many people allowed into the region causing crowded housing, parking in street a nightmare,
congested roads. Get Beckman's Road bypass done, and I'll be even more happy. Grateful residents, if
that was done
• Congestion on roads with so many people moving here or the madness of weekends
• Handling the traffic here because of the way the roads have been designed. You can't add roads
because we're surrounded by national parks. The powers that be = planners do not live here or study
local conditional.
• Congestion on our roads and street / big development if the council decides to that path
• Road congestion and lack of shopping facilities
• Overcrowding of housing and roads
• Keeping maintenance of roads and widen the ones outside of Noosa because Pomona gets so much
tourist traffic
• Road congestion if more housing development done
• Housing and road congestion due to growth demand
• Congestion on streets and parking lots
• Traffic management and road maintenance
• The increase of traffic in the area
• Busy roads with tourist coming and going then deciding to stay
