     Dear Sir,                                                                                        ~
     I am a concerned neighbour to this proposed development.


     I have a unit-21 in Noosa Shores.


     It is on the top floor and abuts this area of land.


     Currently, the noise from the restaurants next door can cause occupants to wake/or have trouble
     getting to sleep in my unit. I am concerned that an increased occupancy in the open area will further
     interfere with the enjoyment of my unit.


     I note the sound report and wonder whether any consideration has been made of the unbuffered

     noise to the upper units in Noosa Shores. The ground units have a fence and bushes to partially

     offset the noise next door but there is no such barrier for units such as mine.


     I am concerned I may need to fit sound proofing in the glazed areas or air condition the bedrooms

     on that side. The windows need to be open      especially in summer for ventilation and cooling as that
     side faces the western sun so glazing may help soundproofing but wouldn’t be effective in summer

     as the windows would     be open.


     I acknowledge the cafes add to the character of the area, however, existing landowners should not

     have to bear any loss associated with the proposed development.


     Would the developers be prepared to facilitate soundproofing in the units to be affected?
