(In regard to the Application MCU15/0029 we note that on the Application Details the Council Officer is noted as

D Wallace.)

We, as Directors of BKL&B Pty Ltd, the owner of Unit 12, Sunshine Vista, 43 Duke Street, Sunshine Beach,
Qld, 4567 (Lot 12 BUP 9546) wish to object to the Application for the Material Change of Use, referred to
as MCU15/0029 in regard to the property at 2/18 Duke Street, Sunshine Beach, Qld.

Our objections are as follows:

1. Location:

The proposed Café — Bar is located in a mainly residential area of Sunshine Beach with:
e = Multi-unit residential buildings situated directly opposite across Duke Street.
e Non -—licensed Back Packer style accommodation directly across Douglas Street plus other

residential homes in Douglas Street

 Multi-unit residential to the rear of the premises across Douglas Lane

e The neighbouring commercial premises are offices, small! hairdressing salon and a coffee
shop. These businesses (including the coffee shop) operate during day time hours only.

e Existing cafes and bars in the Sunshine Beach ‘village’ are some distance away to the East
along Duke Street and given the geographical nature of their location they are down a hill
and facing to the south east thus protecting the part of the neighbourhood around 18 Duke

Street from patron and vehicle noise.

In summary; the proposed use is incongruous with the existing close neighbours.

2. Increased Traffic and Parking:

The proposed business use for the premises will increase traffic flow as customers are drawn to use
the facility. This will occur both during the day and at night.

The increased traffic at night and the early morning (premises will be opening at 6.00am) will create
an extra disturbance for those residential properties which are opposite the premises.

Being a bar operation open to midnight will obviously also increase the arrival and departure of
cabs late at night to drop off and pick up customers with the resultant noise caused by not only the

vehicle but also the opening and closing of the car doors.
