Re:Public Notification of Development Application MCU 20/0115
          Short term rental of property at 3 Robert Street, Noosaville 4566

Dear Sir/Madam,

We reside at 2/165 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, 4566 which is an adjoining property
to 3 Robert Street, Noosaville. We are a retired couple and purchased this property
very recently as a permanent retirement dwelling, and moved in at the beginning of
July this year.

You can imagine our dismay to discover that the property next door which had
recently been sold, was subject to a request to approve a change from normal
residential to short term holiday letting. Before we finalised the purchase of 2/165
Gympie Terrace, we used our best endeavours to determine that our immediate
neighbours were permanent residents and thus unlikely to be disruptive to our
retirement lifestyle.

Accordingly, we wish to lodge a strenuous objection to the Council approving this
Development Application for use as short - term accommodation at 3 Robert Street
Noosaville on the following grounds:

   1. Short - term holiday accommodation cannot help but encourage loud partying
      on a regular basis at late hours of the night. This is often outside around a pool
      where sound travels unabated to neighbouring properties. 3 Robert Street has
      in fact, a very large patio and pool area where these loud gatherings will occur.
   2. As 3 Robert Street Noosaville is a single residence dwelling the owners will not
      be present to supervise and control any unruly behaviour.
   3. There are an extremely large number of holiday accommodation units in the
      immediate vicinity which have experienced on - site management to control
      loud and disruptive behaviour unlike what is proposed for 3 Robert Street.
   4. Also, there can be no justification for additional short - term accommodation
      when so much holiday accommodation already exists and is readily available.
