ATTACHMENT TO SUBMISSION — MCU18/0015 of LOT 27 RP895605

Iam a resident of Attunga Heights Noosa and, while I am generally supportive of
sympathetic development where a public benefit is evident, I wish to register my opposition
to that proposed under MCU18/0015 of LOT 27 RP895605.

I do not believe that the development in its current form is consistent with the intent of the
Noosa Plan and believe it will significantly impact local resident amenity and that of the
general community. I believe that any benefit derived from increased commercial activity /
tourist visitations is not in the interest of the community and will be outweighed by the
permanent loss of the ecologically protected space and impact to wildlife habitat,
connectivity and safety.

I present the following matters in support of my opposition to the development in its current
form.

Attunga Heights — Traffic and Transit

Attunga Heights is a small cul-de-sac street. The street is used by residents to park their
vehicles (particularly for the properties which support multiple dwellings). The road is also
subject to holiday day parking for those non- residents who access Hastings Street via the
Council path.

When vehicles are parked on both sides of the street it is difficult for a standard car to move
through. Trucks and larger vehicles cannot get through - and there have been instances where
garbage trucks and delivery trucks have been unable to get through. The number of dwellings
comprising the development will likely significantly increase traffic and parking congestion,
which will be heightened during the building phased.

Resident Amenity

e Noise and Traffic. The development of the magnitude proposed will significantly increase
traffic noise and the proximity of the Reception building (and its associated facilities) to
adjoining properties is likely to increase both traffic and domestic noise pollution.

e Street Traffic and Parking. Attunga Heights is a small cul-de-sac street. It is a narrow
road and the quite nature of the street provides significant amenity to residents. The
building phase of the development would require heavy vehicles to move up and down
Attunga Heights. The narrow nature of the street and the risk of cars being parked on both
sides would make transit of these vehicles very difficult. While this could be overcome by
making one side of the road no-parking - this would significantly impact the amenity of
local residents and would be unacceptable.

e Garbage Bins. Any approved development needs to provide a collection point on the
block for garbage bin collection as 14 bins already are placed outside 23 Attunga Hts on
collection day due to no footpath space for 25 (4 units), 27 and 26 Attunga Hts. This
development proposes 14 more homes = 28 bins with no footpath space.

Pedestrian Safety — Attunga Heights

The council path through the bush to Hastings Street is used by hundreds of people each day.
In many cases these people walk up Attunga Heights. The absence of adequate verges /
footpaths on Attunga Heights requires pedestrians to move onto and off the road frequently to
avoid obstructions. The increased traffic — particularly large vehicles during construction -
presents significant risk to pedestrians.

Environment and Habitat

The Noosa Plan provides a strong blue print for Noosa and the protection of natural areas
and the expectations of community amenity. It provides a sustainable balance between
development and the environment. The proposed development appears inconsistent with the
plan as it violates the following elements:

e The development is proposed within an Ecological Protection Zone as defined by the
Noosa Plan biodiversity Map (OM6:1)

e Networks of open space and natural habitat, vegetated lands, wetlands, watercourses and
riparian zones are required to be sensitivity managed and protected and avoid as far as
practicable or, where avoidance is not practicable, minimise adverse impacts.

e koala habitat, connectivity and safety are required to be maintained and improved,
contributing to a net gain in koala habitat assisting with the long term stabilisation and
recovery of viable populations across Noosa Shire, Sunshine Coast and South East
Queensland

¢ increasing the amount of land protected for conservation purposes under public
ownership that ideally represent the full range of habitats and species found across Noosa
Shire, forming corridors for the safe movement and successful breeding of wildlife within
the Shire and beyond;

e development not impacting on views and vistas that characterise particular localities in
Noosa Shire including views to or from watercourses, beaches or riparian corridors
avoiding visual scarring of the hill slopes.
