Dear Assessment Manager,

Executive Summary

We write this submission to formalise our objection to the abovementioned development
application on the following grounds:

           The proposal is inconsistent with the Noosa Planning Scheme and fails to provide
            evidence of an overriding need for the development in the public interest;
           Should it proceed, the development would destroy habitat in an area zoned as Open
            Space, Conservation and Environment and therefore conflicts with the Noosa Plan’s
            3.1.3 Desired Environmental Outcomes ; and
           The proposal would remove Koala Habitat Area on land designated for Environmental
            Enhancement. See: Noosaville Biodiversity Overlay (Map OM8.1- Plate 3)

We therefore request Noosa Council recommend refusal of MCU16/0081 due to:

1. Environmentally Significant Habitat

The proposal for 90 residential units would destroy significant vegetation on the site. We note the
following tree habitats will be adversely impacted by the development:

       Tall open forest often with Eucalyptus resinifera, E. grandis, E. robusta, Corymbia intermedia
        on sedimentary rocks.
       Closed heathland on seasonally waterlogged alluvial plains usually near coast
       Melaleuca quinquenervia open forest on coastal alluvium
       Eucalyptus racemosa subsp. racemosa woodland on remnant Tertiary surfaces

These species and habitats are described in the Vegetation Management Act with importance
categorised from Of Concern, Least concern, to Endangered.
