Objection to the Proposed Hotel at Noosa Springs: mcu 21/0110

It has not gone unnoticed that this DA has been opened for comment for a short period of time just before
‘Christmas when most people are otherwise cecupled of away.

No analysis hat been provided in the Adamson Town Planning Report of the impact upan existing users of
Noosa Spvings Resort, including members and residents. This impact is significant. The “material change of
use* will adversely affect every person in Noosa Springs, The Gasis, Parkridge, Elysium and The Fairways (795
properties), retort stall and members.

The devrlopent leks so many Lote:

* Fite’ “boutique”, in fact it will have roughly the same number af socea as the French Quarter in

Hastings Street

At Lom high it will visually overpower existing buildings

Twe thirds of the development is to be built on land zoned “recreational and open space*

it breaches height and sethack restrictions

Zoning maps indicate it it a “Core Koala Habitat", “a Koule Priority Habitat” and this vell be lest

together with other fauna and flora

* With potentially 224 occupants, plus children and additional staff, the already existing fire evacuation
ritk wall be significantly inoreased with potentially disgatrous ramifications, Numerous discussions
with Council in the past has done litth to alleviate this very serious sue og, The Qasis BC Review of
Emergency Evacuation Provisions

* The BA suggests that the quests and staff will be arriving and beaving on 2 wheels or public transport.
This is just not realistic

* Analready busy carpark will be inadequate for guests, staff, golfers and those who use the spa, gym,
medical facilities, restaurant ete. tis already over capacity at peak times and the Parking Studies
lack meaningful analysis

* There will be increased noise and activity in an area where many elderly people reside and will affeet
the quiet enjoyment and wellbeing of residents and potentially their security ard safety

* The club house, golf course, gym, restaurant, spa and pool will nat be as available to residents and
rremibers with Tee Times likely to be at a premium as hotel guests will Rkely be given priority

* The developers are potentially “double-dipping* as the land originally earmarked for a hotel was ued
to build Parkside.
