 Unlawful    behaviour       is all too frequent         around service stations. November                     2014 just down the road in
 Eumundi,5 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.

                   SJATIOli-D_OESli-OT ACCORD WITH_QBJECT1VESTHE NOOSA PLAN:

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 decision,
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 Noosaville Locality Code and
Overall Outcomes for the Noosaville                   Locality, 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; AND


           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 to 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
