Notice Of Submission On Propoesd Hotel Development Noosa Springs Resort

Economic Benefits
There was no information available at any of the public exhibitions undertaken by Phillip Starkey on
behalf of the owners. In fact he had a very limited knowledge of what was being proposed and failed
to answer many questions relevant to the proposal. He was relying purely on his father’s name. How
many jobs are predicted during the construction and then during the operation. What are extended
benefits to the local economy supplying goods and services?

What is the planned start for building to commence if approved and what is the construction time?

Loading Dock
It is planned to use the existing loading dock and access road with no increase in areas for rubbish
and handling the laundry that will be required for the 112 rooms.

Concierge and Porter
How is intended to greet arriving guests by the porter and manage the transfer of luggage to the
hotel? Does the porter stand at the kerbside and if not what is the system they intend to use to book
in guests?

International Management
As mentioned earlier Swissotel has been proposed for the Hope Island development that was
approved some time ago. No work has not commenced on that project. What undertakings is
Council intending to request about the commencement of work and if approved what is the length
of time that the consent will remain in place

Hotel Elevation Design
The owner has attempted to use the existing design of Noosa Springs Residences of tiles and
controlled colour palettes. However the upturned concrete balustrades are old and tired and do
nothing to enhance the design. They are more relevant to a motel than a new hotel. The external
design should be rejected.

Summary
There are so many matters that need to attended to, Council has no objection but to refuse the
application. They relate to planning, misuse of terms that are used internationally by the hotel
sector, upgrade of community facilities and a detailed scope of some of the intended works/

It is also hoped that the Mayor will declare her parents live in the Oasis
