Re:     Submission Objecting to Application Reference MCU17/0076.01, Being a Other change to

Dear Sir


Reference is made to the above development application which is currently undergoing its public notification.
 This public notification is inviting submissions from the public in response to the proposed short term
accommodation use of a dwelling in an existing duplex adjoining our property and for these submissions to be
lodged with Noosa Shire Council as the assessment manager.


 We own a dwelling in the adjoining duplex use to the south.


 We are objecting to this development application and request that Council refuses this development
 application.


 Our objection is based on grounds that include the following:


 I . We have only Jived at this property for 12 months in the adjoining premises to the South. During this time
           we have been subjected to what appears to be a disregard by the guests and the owner of this adjoining
           premises to the fact that this adjoining premises is located in a residential area. There has been
           frequently late night partying and socialising within the adjoining premises by guests who are staying
           in this premises for short periods of time. Typically this socialising takes place on the outdoor deck at
           the rear of the adjoining premises, and involves loud voices and merriment and multiple occasions per
           week, during the majority of weeks.


 2. The western side (rear) of the adjoining premises has been designed and constructed for entertaining as it
           comprises a pool and its adjoining deck is about 2 metres of our property. During the last year, it has
           been common for guests staying in the adjoining premises to be on the deck or in the pool laughing
           and talking loudly and even what sounds like yellmg, at almost any hour of the night and day. It is as
           if they are staying in the adjoining premises for a short time so it may as well be a good time.


 3. My home was obviously des(gned and_ c~nstruc~ed to talc~ advantage of its north-south aspect as preferred
        by Council under sustamable bu1ldmg design principles. As such, our main dining and kitchen Jiving
        areas and two of our bedrooms are along the northern boundary of our property. This is close to the
        outdoor entraining area and indoor living and indoor living area of the adjoining premises. Again
        during that last year it _has been c~~on fo~ our valued residential amenity to be disturbed night and
        day by guests staying m the adJ01nmg premises on a short term basis.


 4. The sole frontage an~ acce~s to the adjoining_premises is from Edward Street. Edward Street is only a 1Om.
         wide road openmg with a_ two -:Vay carriageway. Due to such a constraint, Council has marked a
         significant length ofkerbmg with m Edward street ':" 1th yellow lines so as to restrict kerbside parking
         and thereby better assist manage traffic. Our experience over the last year that guests ta • 10   • th

         adjoining premises still ne~ to par     e1r ve ic ~s m the Edward Street or Ann Street. This adds to
                    oblems in my neighbour and often seriously constraining vehi"cular access mto .    my property.
         Parking Pr

  5. The prov1s10                        .                     .               eas m t e a ~ommg premises 1s
          not conducive for overflow parking by gueSts and parkmg by any visitors within that site. As such it
           is common for overflow parking for guests and all parking by visitors to park in Edward Street or Ann
           Street. This appears to be a constant issue for our neighbourhood.


  6. It is my understanding that the vast ma,jority if not all adjoining residences to our immediate property are
