MCU15/0095 & REC15/0022 PM Submission Object- Velecha Lawrey

Unlawful     behaviour       is all too frequent         around service stations. November                2014 just down the road in
Eumundi,'     Noosa gunman stole a Channel 7 television news car at gunpoint                                  and crashed it into a large
gas tank at Eumundi Petrol Station.


Clearly a site within        such close proximity          to the Good Shepherd Lutheran College is unsuitable                      for the
proposed development            where children may be exposed to violence, terror and recalcitrant                           choices from
which they deserve to be protected.                 It cannot be in the public interest to invite trouble of this nature
within meters of a school where children have the right to learn in peace and be safe.


2. PROPOSED_SERVICESTATION DOES NOT AC_CJ)RDWITH QBJECTIVES-TI:iENOOSA PLAN:

Under the Sustainable           Planning Act 2009 the assessment manager's decision must not conflict                                  with a
relevant instrument,         unless there are there are sufficient             public interest grounds to justify the decision,
despite    the conflict.      The Assessment             manager   can consider         the negative          effects of a proposal       on
matters of public interest.


The Development           is in conflict with the Noosa Plan and its derivatives the Noosavifle Locality Code and
Overall Outcomes for the Noasavifle Lacality, in that the proposed                              New Use on a property             does not
avoid significant     adverse impacts on, and indeed compromises,                       the amenity enjoyed by the users of the
School including         in particular      the school children      as well as users of other premises in the adjoining
Community       Services, Housing and Open-space Recreation Zone.


While it is acknowledged            that a service station is a consistent               development           in the Industry zone, we
draw attention       to table 14-1S of the Noosa Plan, which laces restrictions                               on the siting of a service
station. The Objectives set out in the Plan state that the specific outcomes required for a service station
development       are:


           076 - Service stations are located ONLY where they are compatible                            with the existing and
           proposed amenity and development                  of a neighbourhood          and where they are appropriate             given
           the existing or likely future traffic movements                in the area; AND


           080 - Buildings, structures,         driveways, tanks and fuel bowsers are sited                     Ie) to provide adequate
           separation     to adjoining land uses; and (d) not cause an environmental                          nuisance to neighbouring
           properties.


The proposed         Development            is neither     compatible       with   the existing         and proposed         amenity     and
development       of the School and surrounding              neighbourhood          NOR is it appropriate          given the existing or
likely future traffic movements             in the area.


Furthermore      the tanks and fuel bowsers are proposed to be sited such that they DO NOT to provide
adequate separation          to the adjoining School AND are likely to cause an environmental                            nuisance to the
School and neighbouring            properties.     The Assessment Manager must, particularly                       in relation    to young
children    and where          scientific     understanding        is yet     incomplete,        take     due     consideration     of   the
