Objection Submission as to Material Change of use Application MCU
21/0110. Noosa Spring Real Estate P/L

I wish to lodge a resident's objection to the proposed Change of Use
Application and the proposed Hotel and Associated Commercial
Development.

From the Application Papers It appears that the Applicant originally
had prior authorisation to construct a Hotel Development within the
current developed area but chose another commercial option.
 The Applicant now wishes to have the land use rules changed to
facilitate the Hotel and associated commercial activity in what has
since become a more developed residential area and on a site
previously excluded from development which was obviously ruled as
such for good reasons at the time.
 My objection is that the material change in use will result in an
inappropriate commercial development impacting on the quality of
residents' lifestyle who purchased in the area believing no further
development was possible.

I also have the additional concerns for consideration.

A great deal is made in the Application as to the Project having a
significant impact on Noosa's overall image, and its Tourist Industry.
With the proposed site being well away from the main tourist precinct

and very golf orientated I believe these claims are totally overstated
and not legitimate grounds for a material change of use and shouldn't
be considered a major factor when assessing the Application

Having lived in Melbourne's bushfire prone areas for over 50 years and
having experienced the full impact of bush fires. I believe the
Applicants bush fire modelling is just that. Modelling.
Common sense indicates that there is fire danger potential
everywhere around the proposed site and if an emergency occurs
evacuating hundreds of disoriented scared guests along with residents
via a narrow one lane tree lined road could result in disaster.
 In my opinion common sense dictates that a development like the
one proposed shouldn't even be considered in such a location.

An alternative access / escape route via the Sewerage Treatment plant
area has been mentioned. Currently this is not a realistic route due to
the condition of the track but if it could be developed correctly it may
be a solution to the alternative emergency access problem and some
Resident Traffic issues.
If the Application was to be approved, it should be conditional on the
Developer constructing and maintaining a quality alternative access
road in this area



For the reasons outlined I request Council deems the Application for a
Material Change of Use and the proposed Hotel and Commercial
Development inappropriate for the site and rejects the Application.
