THE CONSTRUCTIONSITE:

The stress of living right beside a major construction     site for more than a year will be quite
detrimental   to the health and wellbeing of residents who have been enjoying the relative
peace and quiet of residential, detached houses only, zoned urban living for years. We feel
secure in the belief that a project of this scale will never happen because it is in direct
conflict with the Noosa Plan.

Should it proceed, the noise, dirt and dust will affect not only residents of Gooschap Street
and Val Crescent but those living in nearby streets, hospital patients, staff and visitors as
well as all travelling through the area.

The non-stop cacophony of chainsaws and tree shredding grinders will be the first onslaught
as the greenery is cleared. Then the bulldozers will move in to demolish the existing houses
and buildings before the high decibel gravel trucks plant and machinery take over to
excavate 5-6,OOOsq.m x 15m. (Approximately).      At that depth the resultant water will have to
be drained by pumps running all day and probably all night, over-taxing our storm water
drainage system and possibly adding to the sediment levels in Lake Doonella.

Week in week out, for 14-16 months, from 7am Monday mornings to Middays on Saturday,
this is the scenario local ratepayers will be experiencing.

The magnitude and depth of this dig also raises concerns over land movement on adjacent
properties. There has already been slippage and water pipe ruptures in this area.

With the complete clearance of all greenery, gardens and buildings leading to the overall
excavation of this site for the foundations   and the proposed underground car park the
direct exposure of surrounding properties to Goodchap Street (and Val Crescent) foot and
vehicular traffic will also be a major security concern.
