                             Objec&on to the Proposed Hotel at Noosa Springs: MCU 21/0110
       It has not gone unno3ced that this DA has been opened for comment for a short period of 3me just before
       Christmas when most people are otherwise occupied or away.
       No analysis has been provided in the Adamson Town Planning Report of the impact upon exis3ng users of
       Noosa Springs Resort, including members and residents. This impact is significant. The “material change of
       use” will adversely affect every person in Noosa Springs, The Oasis, Parkridge, Elysium and The Fairways
       (795 proper3es), resort staff and members.
       The development fails so many tests:
            •    It isn’t “bou3que”, in fact it will have roughly the same number of rooms as the French Quarter in
                 Has3ngs Street
            •    At 12m high it will visually overpower exis3ng buildings
            •    Two thirds of the development is to be built on land zoned “recrea3onal and open space”
            •    It breaches height and setback restric3ons
            •    Zoning maps indicate it is a “Core Koala Habitat”, “a Koala Priority Habitat” and this will be lost
                 together with other fauna and flora
            •    There is only a single, narrow access road already shared by exis3ng and significant residen3al
                 developments. This proposed development, with poten3ally 224 occupants, plus children and
                 addi3onal staff, the already exis3ng fire evacua3on risk will be significantly increased with
                 poten3ally disastrous ramifica3ons. Numerous discussions with Council in the past has done lible
                 to alleviate this very serious issue e.g. The Oasis Body Corporate Review of Emergency Evacua3on
                 Provisions
            •    The DA suggests that the guests and staff will be arriving and leaving on 2 wheels or public
                 transport. This is just not realis3c
            •    An already busy carpark will be inadequate for guests, staff, golfers and those who use the spa, gym,
                 medical facili3es, restaurant etc. It is already over capacity at peak 3mes and the Parking Studies
                 lack meaningful analysis
            •    There will be increased noise and ac3vity in an area where many elderly people reside and will
                 affect the quiet enjoyment and wellbeing of residents and poten3ally their security and safety
            •    The club house, golf course, gym, restaurant, spa and pool will not be as available to residents and
                 members with Tee Times likely to be at a premium as hotel guests will likely be given priority
            •    The developers are poten3ally “double-dipping” as the land originally earmarked for a hotel was
                 used to build Parkridge.


       Many of the above serve to undermine the integrity of the Noosa Plan 2020.
       I object to the Applica3on for the proposed hotel on the above grounds.

Objection to the Proposed Hotel at Noosa Springs: Mcu 21/0110

It has not gone unnoticed that this DA has been opened for comment for a short period of time just before
Christmas when most people are otherwise occupied or away.

No analysis has been provided in the Adamson Town Planning Report of the impact upon existing users of
Noosa Springs Resort, including members and residents. This impact is significant. The “material change of
use” will adversely affect every person in Noosa Springs, The Oasis, Parkridge, Elysium and The Fairways
(795 properties), resort staff and members.

The development fails so many tests:

* It isn’t “boutique”, in fact it will have roughly the same number of rooms as the French Quarter in
Hastings Street

¢ At 12m high it will visually overpower existing buildings
* Two thirds of the development is to be built on land zoned “recreational and open space”
° It breaches height and setback restrictions

* Zoning maps indicate it is a “Core Koala Habitat”, “a Koala Priority Habitat” and this will be lost
together with other fauna and flora

¢ There is only a single, narrow access road already shared by existing and significant residential
developments. This proposed development, with potentially 224 occupants, plus children and
additional staff, the already existing fire evacuation risk will be significantly increased with
potentially disastrous ramifications. Numerous discussions with Council in the past has done little
to alleviate this very serious issue e.g. The Oasis Body Corporate Review of Emergency Evacuation
Provisions

°* The DA suggests that the guests and staff will be arriving and leaving on 2 wheels or public
transport. This is just not realistic

¢ An already busy carpark will be inadequate for guests, staff, golfers and those who use the spa, gym,
medical facilities, restaurant etc. It is already over capacity at peak times and the Parking Studies
lack meaningful analysis

¢ There will be increased noise and activity in an area where many elderly people reside and will
affect the quiet enjoyment and wellbeing of residents and potentially their security and safety

¢ The club house, golf course, gym, restaurant, spa and pool will not be as available to residents and
members with Tee Times likely to be at a premium as hotel guests will likely be given priority

°* The developers are potentially “double-dipping” as the land originally earmarked for a hotel was
used to build Parkridge.

Many of the above serve to undermine the integrity of the Noosa Plan 2020.
