Re MCU 16/0153 and REC 16/0041

Dear Sir,

I'm writing to strongly object to the DA forthe MCU above.

The developer was awarded significant approval and MCU, accepted by the community, forthe
supermarket and 4 specialty shops despite concern abouta limited shared access with the busy
hardware store to the David Low Way and the effect on traffic flow.

The current proposal of congested permanent housing and hotel complex through the same access
will have a massive impact on flow north and south and will seriously affect usage and access to the
village and the village atmosphere that the whole community endorses and wants preserved.

The NSC had recommended that the site be used for medium cost temporary accommodation to
replace the amenity of the caravan park. Usage of this nature would more often than notmean
walking to beach, shops, and use of local amenities whereas permanent accommodation of 26
houses with two car garages entails cars to work, kids to school and sport or other distant interests.

Add in the proposed hotel and conference facilities and sensibletown planning evaporates.

The limited allocation of visitor parking only aggravates the situation as it will seriously disrupt by
usurping parking availableto the community area to the immediatenorth that is being developed at
the moment to reduce general parking congestion and providea landscaped aesthetic buffer forthe
kindergarten, vegetable garden, tennis, sport field and other community uses.

Asix metre housing wall immediately adjacent is hardly an aesthetic backdrop alternative to an
attractive patch of rainforest.

| feel that the developer has had a significant windfall with the existing development and thatthe
NSC should firmly adhere to the original approved use for the residual land with modest site density,
reasonable setbacks with landscaping and conduct trafficstudies on the current access.

Yours sincerely,

Stephen McCready.
