Dear Patrick Murphy / Noosa Council,

I am writing in regards to the proposed development changes to ‘Flash Packers’ 102-106 Pacific Avenue, Sunshine Beach.
Application number: 132007.2446.03

As the owner of 25A Nebula St & on behalf of my family I wish to inform you that we strongly disapprove of any growth to the Flash Packers development because living in this neighbourhood close to them is already a nuisance! I was led to believe when purchasing this land that the Flashpacker’s was a premium environment without the riff raff of a regular cheap backpacker’s. I guess I was naive in believing that however I can’t begin to imagine the disruption they will cause to our street and their neighbours on Pacific Avenue if this proposal is approved.

To give you an insight into our lives we are consistently woken up at night by partying ruckus created from their guests and not once over the last 4 years when I phone through has there been a night manager pick up the phone. I’ve even walked into their establishment to speak to a staff member (while the place is full of guests partying) and asked where is the night manager? No one knows and I’ve never met one. I was however able to contact the owners during the day where I voiced my (and our neighbours) concerns about the late night ruckus and after firstly saying it was my fault for buying near a backpacker’s establishment they did say everyone is inside by 9pm anyway. They gave me their mobile numbers to call if it ever got out of hand which I thought was a very nice gesture however I’ve called several times since (after having no luck with the night manager) and not once have they picked up or even returned my voicemail the following day. Clearly they care very little about the homes surrounding their business.

More recently the last fortnight has been a shocker, we’ve been woken up 9 of the 14 nights (after 9pm) and the last thing we want to do is call the police and waste their time so I find myself asking new groups every few nights to please keep the noise down. Sometimes they listen, other times I give up and my wife and I sleep with our children in a room further from the noise.

I understand there are very old town plans that approved some sort of business hub in this zone however I beg council to relook over this zone and see how it’s evolved and is currently used. The old nursery failed, the vet was far from successful and I believe that’s mainly because it’s a shocking place to pull off the road straight after the traffic lights (or do a U-turn) into a business driveway. How the area has evolved now sees just one business remaining, the backpackers resort surrounded by residential homes.
If the proposed development is approved by council more than doubling their current capacity I’m certain the Noosa police will get sick and tired of attending noise complaint after noise complaint. We also see it as unfair on the local community surrounding this already large transient crowd.

Thank you for taking the time to read through our concerns. If you would like to discuss anything in more detail or in person please feel free to contact me on 0421812350.

Lastly if there’s anything further I can do to help have our voice heard by council please let me know.

P.S I’ve also attached the letter above.

Kind regards,

Dean Brady
