                 Subject:             Objection to development proposal MCU25/0006 for 48 person short-term
                 accommodation at 17 Russell Street, Noosaville



                     You don't often get email from [email protected]. Learn why this is important

                 CAUTION: This email originated outside of Council. Do not open links or attachments

                 I wish to lodge a strong objection to the proposal
                 to convert the property at 17 Russell Street
                 Noosaville to short-term accommodation for 48
                 people.
                 The development is totally inappropriate in a small residential street like Russell Street.
                 Apart from all other issues, the traffic implications alone should render the proposal totally
                 inappropriate in this location.
                 The proposed only has provision for five parking spaces which is totally inadequate for a
                 property with 48 residents, and there is nothing to stop the residents from parking in the street
                 anyway.
                 The addition of vehicles for 48 people (let's guess 15) will create havoc.
                 15 vehicles would would fill much of the available street parking.
                 Russell Street already has material parking problems during busy periods like school holidays
                 and summer weekends. If approved, this proposal will exacerbate the problem.
                 The recreational facilities at the northern (river) end of Russell Street are popular with locals and
                 tourists who already share the limited parking available.
                 It will also have an impact on visitors to the Council’s campsite in Russell Street.
                 The street parking is often utilized as a waiting bay for caravans which arrive before check in
                 time. Where are these large vehicles going to park now?
                 When leaving, many caravans also stop to perform a final check of their rigging.
                 The site also incorporates a popular boat ramp and the boat trailers often park in Russell Street.
                 The campsite, which I understand itself has a 10 pm noise curfew, could also be impacted noise
                 from this development.
                 The potential for noise in a quiet residential street is also a big concern.
                 It will also almost certainly have a negative impact on the value of all adjoining properties.
                 Russell Street already does its share of the heavy lifting in facilitating a very busy camping
                 ground.
                 Please reject this proposal.
