Unlawful behaviour is all too frequent around service stations. November 2014 just down the road in
Eumundi:          Noosa gunman stole a Channel 7 television news car at gunpoint and crashed it into a large
gas tank at Eumundi Petrol Station.


Clearly a site within such close proximity to the Good Shepherd Lutheran College is unsuitable for the
proposed development where children may be exposed to violence, terror and recalcitrant choices from
which they deserve to be protected.                            It cannot be in the public interest to invite trouble of this nature
within meters of a school where children have the right to learn in peace and be safe.




Under the Sustainable                  Planning Act 2009 the assessment manager's decision must not conflict with a
relevant instrument,               unless there are there are sufficient public interest grounds to justify the decisian,
despite the conflict.               The Assessment manager can consider the negative effects of a proposal on
matters of public interest.


The Development is in conflict with the Noosa Plan and its derivatives the Naasavi/le Lacolity Code and
Overall Outcames far the Naasavi/le Lacality. in that the proposed New Use on a property does not
avoid significant adverse impacts on, and indeed compromises, the amenity enjoyed by the users of the
School including in particular                     the school children as well as users of other premises in the adjoining
Community Services, Housing and Open-space Recreation Zone.


While it is acknowledged                    that a service station is a consistent development                                     in the Industry zone, we
draw attention             to table 14-1S of the Noosa Plan, which laces restrictions                                            on the siting of a service
station. The Objectives set out in the Plan state that the specific outcomes required for a service station
development are:


             076 - Service stations are located ONLY where they are compatible with the existing and
             proposed amenity and development of a neighbourhood                                            and where they are appropriate given
             the existing or likely future traffic movements in the area; AN 0


             080 - Buildings, structures, driveways, tanks and fuel bowsers are sited (c) to provide adequate
             separation to adjoining land uses; and (d) not cause an environmental                                               nuisance ta neighbouring
             properties.


The proposed               Development             is neither         compatible           with      the existing and proposed                         amenity   and
development            of the School and surrounding neighbourhood                                    NOR is it appropriate given the existing or
likely future traffic movements in the area.


Furthermore           the tanks and fuel bowsers are proposed to be sited such that they DO NOT to provide
adequate separation to the adjoining School AND are likely to cause an environmental                                                                 nuisance to the
School and neighbouring                    properties. The Assessment Manager must, particularly                                          in relation to young
children        and where             scientific       understanding              is yet       incomplete,           take due consideration                  of the



                                                                 IJd I~u_n.sh i ne :coast -gu nrna n- flees- i n-s to len '::lJews~car- 20 141105:
