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 ACCORD WITH OBJECTIV,,"STH~QOSA                                                                    PL8N:

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 Noosaville Locality Cade and
Overall Outcomes for the Noosaville                          Lacolity, 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 (c) 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
