The proposed development shows no affinity to Rufus Street, and the laneway, which is not
a desirable town planning outcome. The successful Community Consultation and Master
plan process, undertaken recently by Noosa Council, has been totally ignored.

The proposed development is not consistent with the Rufous Street Master Plan for the
locality, which has been adopted by the Council, following extensive community
consultation. This master plans seeks to promote the laneway and provide for a pedestrian
friendly entry point and high level of visual amenity at this location. Also, there is no
provision in the development for pedestrian access or a cycle way through the parkland to
the west.


The proposed use of fill & the extremely small rear setback of the dwellings to the north
Boundary would have a negative impact on the existing sensitive natural vegetation and
increase surface water flow.


The impact of visitors on Rufous Street would be detrimental, as the possibility exists for asy
parking in Rufous Street rather than use the IGA entrance and limited visitor parking in the
new development.


The Stage 1 Supermarket road entrance off Sandpiper Lane is already congested by the layout
of the supermarket car park entrance/exit. The traffic report in this proposed stage 2 works
fails to include the impact of the Supermarket traffic flow on this proposal. This could be very
detrimental to the IGA & new shopping centre patronage even before taking in the additional
traffic entering David Low Way which is already proving to be a problem at times.


The proposed development significantly conflicts with the Noosa Plan for the following
reasons:
      - The proposed development being located within the Open Space Recreation Zone
         does not contribute to the desired lifestyle of residents because it does not offer a
         variety of passive and active recreational experiences that are conducive to
         community interaction and wellbeing;
      - The proposed development seeks to provide a small lot housing development and in
         particular, Multiple Housing Type 4 – Conventional which is not a consistent use in
         the Open Space Recreation Zone;
      - The proposed development seeks to provide Visitor Accommodation Type 4,
