 Submitter   Submission and Grounds of Submission                                                                               Planners’ Response                                                                              Recommendation
 20843579    Submitter protesting signage restrictions. Businesses have a right to market themselves, so to tell business       Signage is no longer a planning scheme matter and is being considered as part of a Local Law    That no change be made to the New Noosa Plan as a result of this submission
             owners that they can’t cover their entire window with signage is grossly unfair. It seems that only small          on Advertising signage.
             businesses are being asked to comply with these restrictions with large franchises being let off. One only needs
             to look at Noosa Civic to see this. I am totally in favour of keeping the look of Noosa, and understand we don’t
             want visual pollution, but these restrictions are over the top, and are detrimental to business success. With
             these signage restrictions, I struggle to see how you can hope to attract new businesses to Noosa.
 20868597    Support restricting signage but rules needs to be relaxed for some sites.
 20862015    Submitter suggests noise significantly impacts on the environmental experience offered by Noosa and has            The planning scheme includes provisions regarding noise and amenity impacts from a land use     That no change be made to the New Noosa Plan as a result of this submission.
             greatly increased over recent years. Addresses restaurants, bars, outdoor entertainment, weddings and              perspective in terms of not negatively impacting adjoining residents etc however the ongoing
             events, public and private lawn maintenance, aircraft and helicopter noise, party boats, busking etc. The quiet    compliance of noise and odour issues are dealt with via the Environmental Protection Act and
             ambiance of the river is destroyed by this level of noise.                                                         the State Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation where a liquor license is involved.
             The smell of restaurant cooking also impacts on the environmental experience. Is there anything in planning
             regulations to say that business must have good filtration equipment which is actually maintained?
 20835497    Submitter represents the Body Corporate for six homes in Ann St. They are concerned sufficient thought has         Comments noted.                                                                                 That no change be made to the New Noosa Plan as a result of this submission.
             not been given to stormwater drainage in the event of severe weather conditions, particularly where filling
             occurs to allow new larger buildings to have a ground floor height approximately a metre above surrounding         Council is aware of stormwater and traffic and parking issues around Noosaville and continues
             older properties. The extra roofs catch rain water and direct it into the storm water system causing backflow      to investigate management options to address these thorough stormwater vulnerability
             into the street drains. Long term residents in older complexes are surrounded by these dwellings which are         assessments and ongoing planning.
             adding to the storm water system and potentially increasing backflow, well above any flood problems. This
             increases difficulties around obtaining full cover insurance.
