mangroves to allow the water to enter the lake. This will definitely
be a major problem for this development.

Traffic is another dangerous situation. The round-about is quite
sufficient for the traffic now. With the indicated number of car
parks and the entrance and exit planned for the development will
cause major chaos. There may be a problem with the buses as well.

Last but not least. I had a house built in Val Cres because it was
off the main roads. I wanted flora and fauna where I live. Yes, lots
of kangaroos, black cockatoos, laughing cockatoos, magpies,
cuckoo shrikes, pheasant coucal, goannas, pythons, etc. It was
magic. The Noosa Hospital was built although not much changed.
Gateway Drive can into existence, pushing further back into the
bush. No more kangaroos, fewer birds, only a couple of goannas,
etc. If this development is passed, there goes more birds, no
goannas, no python, nothing. The flora and fauna is not what it
used to be.

I invested in a plot of land because it was residential as did other
owners or investors. I felt safe that I would not be put into a
situation that would force me to sell my house. Although I’m on
the down side of the Val Cres road and not having to sell my house,
the idea of having this “copycat clinic” is totally unnecessary.

Having lived through the fight to gain back Noosa Shire, I
understand what happens. Yes, I was one of many that walked,
rallied, etc. to accomplish such a feat. That is how I feel about this
situation. With the strength and good judgment, I will put my faith
in the Noosa Council. There will be no development on the corners
of Goodchap Street and Val Cres.
