I make the following submission regarding the Proposed Development’s Material change of Use and Reconfiguring of a Lot (1 into 3).
1	Submitter’s full name, email and address incl postcode Campbell Macpherson [email protected] Apartment 9, The Outlook Resort, Picture Point Cresc. Noosa Heads QLD 4567	Signature (mandatory)
Oppose and Why? The submission is in contravention of the Noosa Plan. It is not in the best interests of the unique Noosa flora and fauna, and would be an over-built development on an unsuitable block, posing concerns over slippage and water run-off. I oppose it on several grounds: Unsuitability of the site. 13 dwellings would be located on slope-sensitive locations and the proposed building heights are 4 metres higher than standard Noosa dwellings (12m vs 8m). Proposed Lots 2 and 3 are oversized (almost 50% larger) and not in keeping with the surrounding zoning legacy of Attunga Heights. The proposal was submitted despite professional consultants recommending more site visits for full risk assessment on Earthworks, Ecological site assessment, Bushfire site hazard, Vegetation removal. No allowance is made for rainwater capture from 12 of the 14 dwellings It is counter to the Noosa Plan to retain open space, protect local wildlife, fauna and habitats Loose sandy soil is a slide hazard, causing site instability since 1969. Steep slopes up to 45% plus loose sandy soil contribute to site instability. Proposed changes to original zoning would eliminate Open Space Conservation area which is designed to protect habitat, flora and fauna in perpetuity and retains the green visual character of the hill. It would eliminate existing wildlife corridor and replace it with an inferior environmental reserve that reduces protection and privacy of fauna and flora from built environment Native animals (wallabies and echidna) have not been included in the ecological assessment despite recent sightings by local residents on the site. Disturbance to the native wildlife in that strip, koalas (under threat already in Noosa through over development), birdlife, bush turkeys and monitors An increase in housing density in a National Park designated area.  Noosa Heads is already sufficiently developed and is in danger of losing the character that attracts people to the area in the first place. Sustained impact (noise, dust) of the development on established accommodation businesses in the area – as proven by the Outrigger development which had a detrimental impact on local businesses for 18 months.
