MCU10/2083 Notice of submission Gary Trevithick & Richard Patterson Noosa Waters Residents Assoc

     convenience store owing to lower prices and greater choice. There are also a number of
     nearby late opening small convenience stores offering basic necessities.

3.   Undue offence, annoyance, disturbance or inconvenience to persons who reside in the
     locality

     People who have purchased in Noosaville, particularly those who adjoin the site, would be
     aware that the site is zoned for attached housing under the Noosa Plan.

     Any commercial development on the current residential zoning, would mean surrounding
     residential properties will suffer a serious loss of amenity through the negative impact from
     noise (cars, trucks and patrons), cooking smells, garbage smells, vehicle exhaust odours,
     bright late and all night lighting, rubbish, etc.

     While attempts may be made to mitigate these problems by imposing various conditions, they
     will still have an undesirable impact on local residents.

4.   Increased potential for damage to homes, parks, strectscape and vandalism


     Commercial development should not be allowed in a quiet residential area.


     Late night trading of fast food type outlets will attract persons from outside the local area.
     From local residents' experience with other late night and all-night facilities, already located
     in the immediate area (Villa Noosa pub & McDonalds), the bulk of custom attracted to this
     facility is unlikely to come from local residents. Rather, customers will be attracted from
     outside the Noosa/Noosaville area by the late-night facilities on offer.


     The congregation of these customers in the vicinity will place an unacceptable burden on
     local residents in the form of increased levels of rubbish, noise, damage to property, parks,
     street areas, signs and hooning type activities and traffic and associated noise.


5.   Site access

     Council has advised the Developer that access to the site should be from Skipper Place. This
     is a narrow residential non-through road servicing only local residents. Access to the site is in
     close proximity to a small round about on Gibson Road, which is a major thoroughfare. It
     would be dangerous for vehicles to turn right into the site from such a small road without a
     right turn lane. It would also be very difficult and dangerous for delivery and garbage trucks
     to try to access the site.

     The Developer believes that they should also have access from Gibson Road. As Council is
     aware, this is a major thoroughfare and any entry from (particularly coming from the west)
     and exit to Gibson Road would present an unacceptable risk to motorists and cyclists. There
     would not be any physical barrier stopping motorists attempting to turn right into the site or
     exiting right. These movements present an unacceptable risk to the public.
