Dear Mr Murphy,


                Submission in opposition to the Development Application
                              MCU 16/0153 & REC16/0041


I am writing to oppose the approval of the above development application (DA). The
grounds for my opposition are listed below.

   1. CONTRAVENTION OF TOWN PLAN
      ‐ see Addendum 1 and 2 for background, history and additional information

       A) ZONING ‐ INCONSISTENT USE
       This application lacks compliance with requirements of Open Space Recreation
       zoning. In particular it does not reflect the site's previous use as a caravan park. The
       applicant shows no intention of meeting the requirements or expectations of
       community or local authority.

       B) SITE COVER
       i) Site cover has been calculated to meet that for semi‐attached housing zone. This
       is not consistent with Open Space Recreation Zoning and should be deemed
       irrelevant.
       ii) Incorrect calculations‐ Some structures have not been included in the calculation.
       An example of this is the stair and entry for the Reed Beach Houses (refer pages
       SD12 and SD23). This is a clear omission and does not meet the definition of site
       cover in the Town Plan. Noosa Council has an absolute duty to reject the application
       until all inaccuracies have been identified and included in the Council’s deliberations
       on whether this DA should be accepted.
       Excerpt from Noosa Plan: "site cover means the proportion of a site covered by all
       buildings and structures shown as a percentage. For enclosed spaces this includes
       the area within the outside wall and for unenclosed spaces this includes the area
       measured along a line 600mm in from the perimeter of the roof. Site cover includes
       garages and other roofed outbuildings, but does not include landscape structures
       such as in‐ground pools and decks."
