MCU15/0095 & REC15/0022 PM Submission Object - Jenelle Wilson

School and are open for training             and lor use from S.30am to 7.30pm and used by babies from eight
weeks old.




The Property also adjoins the School's music rooms and the Health & Physical Education Centre (HPEC),
which      is used continuously       by the school.        The HPEC is also available      for external    hire, including
basketball,    netball,    indoor   soccer, volleyball,     badminton       and major functions.     In addition,   the EFM
Health Club, Noosaville operates out of the upper floor of the HPEC, which is open for use between the
hours of 6am to 7.30pm. The fuel bowsers on the proposed Development                      are no ore than approximately
40 meters from the HPE Centre.


The proposed Development             is in no way compatible        with the existing amenity and development         of the
neighbourhood.       There is insufficient       separation   distance between       the service station   facility and the
School. International       studies clearly show that benzene levels are harmful up to at least a radius of sOm.


Given the proximity        of the proposed Development            to Schools open air pool facilities and the health and
physical education         centre there      is no satisfactory    buffer   to absorb the harmful     air emissions. As a
consequence       the buildings,     structures,     driveways,    tanks and fuel bowsers are NOT sited to provide
adequate      separation     to adjoining     land uses and will cause an environmental            hazard and nuisance to
neighbouring      School property.


Traffic Congestion

Even at the current         levels of congestion      motorists    entering the School experience      abuse by a drivers
rushing to get through         the roundabout        whilst waiting in the pick-up line. This congestion       occurs daily
and will only increase as parents will have no choice, but to drive though and pick-up if the unofficial car
park is developed.         Cars travelling    from Goodchap st regularly cut across the two lanes of the round
about to make the left hand turn into Walter Hay Drive.


The proposed      Development        will add significant     pressure to the already fraught traffic as more people
frequent     the service station. There are expected to be will be up to 129 visits per hour during peak times,
as stated in the proposed application.             Peak times will be during school drop off & pick up. This is on top
