                 3. Built form Out of Scale
                 The proposed Built Form is out of scale with low-density surrounding properties. Also located
                 next to beginning of rural zone and a cemetery. It is inconsistent with the Cooroy Town Plan to
                 have medium density housing in this location. It is a low density neighbourhood all around this
                 development. Building this development goes completely against the strong outline in the Noosa
                 Plan itself that places strong emphasis on protecting local character and applying a place-based
                 approach to development. It sets clear expectations for building height, scale, and design to
                 ensure new proposals are compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood. It also prioritises
                 improvements to the streetscape through appropriate materials, landscaping, and design
                 treatments. Development within the Low Density Residential zone is restricted to a maximum of
                 two storeys and must contribute positively to the established “open and green streetscape”
                 character. Some of the buildings with parking beneath can be seen as 3 storeys by neighbouring
                 residents. This is actually devastating to residents who built these homes for their families in this
                 low density area.


                 4. POOR DISTRIBUTION OF SOCIAL AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
                 It has been agreed upon by many councillors and council staff that affordable housing should be
                 in small amounts dispersed as to not overwhelm single areas. The density of this development
                 goes completely against this consideration for the continued amenity of all residents of the Noosa
                 Shire and residents who would live in these rental units.


                 5. PROXIMITY TO TRANSPORT
                 Development being allowed based on proximity to transport is completely ridiculous. They are
                 approximate 1.3 kilometres from nearest bus stop and train each providing only 2 daily services
                 at odd times. This completely rules out the development being close to accessible and useable
                 transport.


                 6. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
                 Development application based on “not worsening” stormwater run off is a joke. The stormwater
                 management has been rendered completely useless in the weather events since beginning
                 remediation let alone when the site is mostly covered in concrete by this development. There is
                 no way this development, being as large and dense as it is proposed to be, will not worsen the
                 stormwater issue on this site. IT IS NOT FREE FROM FLOODING as application states.
