                               Re: MCU15/0095 - 115 Eumundi Road Noosaville

Dear the Assessment Manager,

The Noosa Parks Association (NPA) is Noosa’s premier environmental organisation, which provides a voice
for the people of Noosa Shire about protecting Noosa’s environmental, economic, social and cultural
sustainability.

We make this submission to urge Council to reject the application to build a service station and shop at 115
Eumundi Noosa Road.
In particular the NPA is concerned the proposal disregards the requisite obligations to:
       Maintain the safety of people, specifically children
       Avoid significant adverse impacts on the amenity enjoyed by users of other premises, specifically
        children, including acoustics, health and well being
       Avoid significant adverse effects on the natural environment
       Avoid significant adverse impacts on and compromises to the amenity enjoyed by the users of
        other premises in the adjoining community services, housing and open-space recreations zones.
The NPA supports the Good Shepherd College parents’ submission that:
         The proposed use is an inappropriate and unreasonable form of development within the area in which
          it is to be located.
         The proposed service station and shop development has, as a significant component, a use which is
          an inconsistent use for the zone and inappropriate in all of the circumstances.
         The proposed development is of a type, scale and intensity that is inconsistent with any reasonably
          anticipated development on this property.
         The proposed development is not compatible with the existing and proposed amenity and
          development of the immediate neighbourhood consisting of community services, housing and open-
          space recreations zones.
         It has the likely impact of increasing traffic in the area.
         As Council has already approved a service station at 139 Eumundi Noosa Road, there is no rationale for
          introducing another with further impacts.


In conclusion, the NPA urges Council to reject the proposal.
