Development Proposal 10/2127
Have Your Say

5 Morwong Drive, Noosa Heads

I would like to raise my concern regarding the reclassification of 38 dwelling units from visitor accommodation to permanent resident dwellings. My concern is the increased volume of traffic / cars in the Noosa Hill area generally and in particular The Quarterdeck, Nairana Rest and Eugarie Street.

I would estimate that as the dwellings stand presently, ie, visitor accommodation, that they are occupied only sporadically and that most occupants (visitors to the area) would arrive in Noosa by public transport, shuttle or taxi and spend the majority of their time at Viridian travelling down to the Hastings Street precinct.

If the dwellings are allowed to be changed to permanent residential accommodation there will be a significant increase in the number of cars being driven in the area, particularly as all cars are forced to utilise the Viewland Drive access during the day.

There is evidence already that a large number of vehicles use The Quarterdeck, Nairana Rest, Eugarie back roads as a short cut from Viewland/Angler/Attunga Heights, etc to access the Sunshine Beach, Cooyar Road area. These roads that are being used as a short cut are already narrow, have no lines marked, no traffic calming measures and very few areas where nature strip pedestrian access is available. Any increase in through traffic to this area would be detrimental to residents and pedestrians who use these roads.

Best regards, Jenny Hill
