Reasonable expectation
When I purchased my house in Val Crescent I had no expectation that a 90 bed aged care facility would be built in this
quiet residential street. This expectation was totally reasonable given that Val Crescent is zoned for detached houses
only.
The proposed development is in direct conflict with the Noosa Plan. The Noosa Plan was drafted based on extensive
community consultation. The community expects that the Council adheres to the Plan and does not allow development
which blatantly contravenes it, such as the proposed development. Development that would be consistent with the
planning scheme would be 11 dwellings over the 11 lots, which is very different to a 90 bed aged care facility, which is
commercial in nature.
Amenity
I The proposed development will have a significant adverse-;;Pact on my amenity_. _
The size, mass and bulk of the proposed 90 bed aged care facility (which is basically one continuous building along the
entire side of Val Crescent) will look totally out of place on the site which is surrounded by detached houses.

Traffic and access to site
As the main commercial entrance to the site will be via Val Crescent, the proposed development will have a negative
traffic impact on Val Crescent, as it will result in a significant increase in vehicles using the street, particularly commercial
vehicles.
In particular, the additional traffic generated by the proposal will include commercial vehicles such as delivery trucks, vans
and trade vehicles. 12.5m long heavy rigid vehicles will also need to access the site, as well as refuse collection trucks.
I --- ----- ------- ----- ------------1
Val Crescent is a quiet local road and is only intended to service residents who live in the street. Cars are often parked on
both sides of the street, due to the shortage of hospital parking, making it difficult for two cars to pass each other. With the
increased traffic due to the development proposal, it will make this more difficult.
There are no footpaths on either side of Val Crescent, as such, the street is used for walking on by the people who live
there (and also all the people who currently park in the street to access the hospital). The increased traffic on the street
will make this more dangerous, particularly for the children and senior citizens who live on the street.
-------------1
The commercial site access on Val Cr is inappropriate and unsafe, particularly due to the access:
a) being located very close to the roundabout;
b) having restricted sight distance (particularly when looking left when exiting the proposed site; and
c) being directly opposite three residential driveways (which includes my own).
This will increase the risk that vehicles and trucks using the access will have an accident with other vehicles, cyclists or
pedestrians on the street.
As I live directly opposite the commercial access on Val crescent, it will have an adverse impact on my amenity due to an
increased number of trucks and vehicles accessing the site over a 24 hr period that is not typical of a local residential
street such as Val Crescent. This will be particularly the case early in the morning and late at night given the following
traffic resulting from the proposed development
a) At the staff changeover in the moming between approximately 6.45am and 7 .15am there will be approximately 55
vehicles using the site driveway; and
b) Prior to the commencement of the night shift there will be approximately 20 vehicles entering the site driveway at
around 10.00pm
c) Following the completion of the afternoon shift there will be approximately 25 vehicles exiting the site driveway at
around 10.45pm
The biggest problem will be the night shift change over of nearly 50 cars. As I am in my 80's and go to sleep before
10.00pm, the noise and head light glare of these cars will greatly impact my sleep.
I -------------- ------------------1
Car parking
The section of Goodchap St near the Noosa Hospital and Val Crescent are already under a lot of strain in terms of car
parking, with them being used as an overfiow car park for the hospital's staff, patients and visitors. A 90 bed facility
directly across the road which has up to 35 staff, visitors and commercial vehicles will exacerbate this problem with more
and more people parking on Goodchap St, Val Crescent and nearby side streets.
While the proposed development will have a basement car park, I believe it will not be sufficie~tto meet the car parki~
needs of the facility, especially at peak times.
My family and friends who visit me at my house already find it difficuij at times to find a park on Val Crescent. This will
become more difficult for them if a 90 bed aged care facility is built across the road.
Construction
The Val Crescent residents will have to endure the constant noise, dust, machinery operation, trucks and trade vehicles
of building this huge facility for at least 14to 16 months. Under the Noosa Plan, we should only have to put up with a
detached house being built across the road, not an industrial like construction which includes a basement carpark. This is
unreasonable given that we live in a detached housing zone.
Need
I understand the need for more aged care facilities on the Sunshine Coast, however, they should be located on a more
appropriate site. Val Crescent is not an appropriate site for this development.
