MCU10/2127 Notice of submission Kjerulf Ainsworth

       resort. As part of the original approval of the resort a condition 284 required an
       On Site Carparking Management Plan to be submitted. Concerns are raised as to
       how this current proposal complies with this Management Plan as the plan was
       based on use of the units being used for visitors' not permanent residents. In
       particular the condition states:

           •   patrons would be encouraged not to use vehicles
           •   carparking was not to be titled
           •   guests may be allocated a carparking space that was not near their unit
           •   external visitors to be assigned a carspace by reception

       The current application does not provide any information as to how carparking is
       to be addressed for permanent accommodation. This is of great concern as
       permanent residents are more likely to have one or two cars and will attract
       visitors to the site.

   9. The application also does not address the impacts of permanent residents
      residing on site in terms of traffic movements. Currently there are significant
      impacts on the surrounding area, in particular the Viridian Noosa Residences, in
      terms of vehicular and pedestrian traffic as well as noise from resort guests. No
      information has been provided that clearly demonstrates that the proposal will
      not exacerbate the current vehicular and pedestrian traffic noise levels and
      conflict issues. It is considered that the proposed use for permanent use will
      encourage more traffic to the area as most residents will have one or two cars
      which will increase congestion on site and in Hastings Street. The use will
      therefore negatively affect the surrounding residents and local community.

The application is considered to be short-sighted and does not address the potential
impacts on the surrounding community in terms of tourism and traffic. The application
is therefore requested to be refused.


Yours Faithfully
