      1000m2 site in the Noosa Shire that suited its budget, as such, it is proposing to squeeze
      the development onto a smaller site by building a large two storey construction that
      compromises the amenity and aesthetics of the facility and its surrounding dwellings.

CONCLUSION
68.   When buying my house I had a reasonable expectation that such a development would
      not be built directly opposite me because the land is zoned Detached Housing. A
      ordinary, reasonable person would not expect that the Noosa Plan would intend for an
      aged care facility to be located on the proposed site.
69.   The DA results in unacceptable and unreasonable adverse impacts on the amenity of the
      surrounding detached dwellings, including my house.
70.   The additional traffic which will be generated by the DA on Val Crescent is unacceptable
      and unreasonable for its residents. It will increase the risk of accidents.
71.   The location of the primary commercial access to the site on Val Crescent is dangerous
      and will compromise the safety of drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, including my children.
72.   The basement car park of the DA will not be sufficient to meet the car parking needs of
      the facility. Val Crescent and Goodchap Street are already under strain, acting as a
      defacto car park for the Noosa Hospital. The DA will make this problem worse.
73.   In excess of 40 mature trees will be removed, leaving the street looking stark and
      exposed. The proposed replacement shrubbery will not disguise the scale and mass of
      the facility. If single dwellings were to be built, in accordance with the Noosa Plan, it is
      highly likely that most of the mature trees would be saved.
74.   Whilst acknowledging the need for the DA by providing aged care accommodation, this
      need does not outweigh the serious conflicts with the Noosa Plan. The facility should be
      built in a more appropriate location.
75.   The adverse impacts as a result of the DA cannot be addressed through the imposition of
      conditions.
