Re: Application No: MCU13/0087


I am very against the proposal by Coles to redevelop a marvellous
                                                                     sporting facility.

The Noosa Heads Bowling Club has been providing an excellent
                                                                      facility for thousands of
people, both young and old, to exercise for 43 years.    Many schools take advantage of the
free bowls coaching for their students. All members of the
                                                              community can learn to bowl at
absolutely no cost, and anyone can roll up for an affordable cost of $2.

People with disability problems, or people who can no longer participate in a competitive
sport, can still roll up on a Saturday among friends and enjoy a healthy outdoor activity. The
local paper featured these wonderful players in an article this
                                                                year. Those recovering from
surgery  or physical handicaps   have a place to go which helps in the
                                                                       healing process. Surely
the well being of these players should be more important than a
                                                                 large organisation’s desire to
expand their empire. The Club is also home to a Mahjong Club, a petanque club and a fishing
club. It has always provided a community meeting
                                                        place for groups and organisations,
usually at no cost.

Noosa Junction is like a country town. People feel safe on the
                                                                 streets, there is minimal traffic
and congestion, and a lovely environment is ’shared by all.


This will not be the case if this site is changed to commercial uses. The traffic alone is
                                                                                           a
cause for concern.



Please do not let our recreational area be taken from us.
