Objection to the Proposed Hotel at Noosa Springs

MCU 21 bus

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
Noose 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:

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

e Ati2m high it will visually overpower existing buildings

« Two thirds of the development is to be built on land zoned “recreational and open space”

e It breaches height and setback restrictions

* Zoning maps indicate it is 4 “Core Koala Habitat”, “a Koala Priority Habitat” and this will be lost
together with other fauna and flora

® 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 BC 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

e Analready 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

s 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 poo! 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. _7
