             •   It will diminish the value of the properties when they sell in the future and limit the level of interest in the
 20867479        property.
 20866840    •   Contrary to an opinion that permanent residents do not contribute to the economic welfare of Noosa,
                 residents are responsible citizens who contribute to the services throughout the area and support all the
                 shopping centres, restaurants and entertainment facilities. They also attract visits throughout the year
                 from family and friends who also make use of all of these facilities when they are here.
             •   Concerned the new classification will attract a higher level of rates than currently charged which would
                 seem unfair as nothing changes.
             •   Zone change has the potential to dramatically increase the population density in this area.
             •   Vehicle parking in this area is already at capacity during holiday periods. The likely increase in
                 accommodation and vehicle parking and vehicle movements will not be sustainable.
             •   The proposed changes have the potential to negatively impact the character of the area and the property
                 values. These changes have the potential to commercialise accommodation at the expense of private
                 ownership.
             •   It appears that a "one size fits all" approach has been taken without any thought to sustainability.
