4) The Development’s impact on the creek & wetland, both during construction &
upon completion is of great concern, as is the planned density of housing in this
ecologically sensitive reserve & adjacent National Park. Some 25,000 cubic metres
of imported fill will be required, giving rise to 150 trips per day for at least 3 months.
This means one heavy vehicle axle load every 3-4 minutes along David Low way,
down Sandpiper Lane, through the IGA carpark & then back out via the Heron St
roundabout.

5) Significant continuous Noise & Disruption to homes along David Low Way,
adjoining streets, PB Hotel, Hardware store, business & private premises in the
vicinity of the roadways & roundabout guaranteed.

6) Substantially Increased Traffic & Congestion is assured during construction as
standing traffic queues currently form at all accesses to the roundabout, particularly
at daily peak times, exacerbated further during school & public holidays. The
proposed development risks being a serious source of additional congestion & given
the layout/landform, nigh on impossible to mitigate in the future.

7) Diminished vistas across the National Park to Mt Cooroy due to bulky Hotel/Motel
building’s projected heights. Council needs to ensure height specifications are
accurate & the current expansive views are maintained. Here’s an opportunity to
protect & showcase the intent of Noosa’s logo ‘Different by nature!’

8) Other concerns include density of buildings & infrastructure within the precinct,
the provision of scarce green space/vegetation/shade, preferred orientation to
sunlight & natural breezes, the provision of public access pathway between two
story buildings, with little to recommend passive surveillance or a non threatening
environment, particularly at night.



Yours sincerely,
