Dear Sir,

APPLICATION NUMBER MCU1012083                         t i2 o
DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR NURSERY SITE 37 GIBSON ROAD

I understand that the Sunshine Coast Regional Council is considering an
application for the development of a Convenience Centre on the Nursery site
(formerly Plants Plus) on the comer of Gibson Road and Skipper Place. In
order to achieve this I also understand that the developer is seeking to have
the site rezoned from Residential Use under the Noosa Plan to Commercial
Use.

I wish to inform you of my objection to Planning Application
Number MCU1012083.

My objection is based on a number of points -

• There is no need in Noosaville for this type of development which would
     justify the rezoning of the nursery site from Residential use under the
      Noosa Plan to Commercial use.

• We who are residents already have easy access to the proposed shopping
     types. Existing businesses would lose out, causing financial problems
     and closures.

• There are already numerous existing empty shops and offices available in
      the area.

• Any employment increases would be reduced by job losses from existing
     businesses in the area.

• Access from Skipper Place, which is a small local road, will cause
     significant traffic problems.

• Surrounding residential properties will, no doubt, suffer problems with
      noise, cooking and vehicle exhaust odours, bright late-night lighting,
      increased rubbish, etc.
