   Dear Mayor Playford

            Re: Submission to Noosa Council on a Boundary Change
   This submission to the Noosa Council is prepared by the EDV Residents Group,
   whose members are residents of Eumundi, Doonan, Verrierdale, Weyba Downs
   and that part of Peregian Beach that is currently part of the Sunshine Coast
   Council Area and locally referred to by residents as Peregian Beach (West).
   The EDV group was formed in 2004 and today has over 230 registered members
   and reaches a further 890 residents of the EDV Area by regular email. The EDV
   area has about 3500 people on the electoral roll. This Submission presents

   EDV area which covered an estimated 85% of all residents and 70% of local

   proposed realignment of the Shire boundaries, and has conducted several public
   meetings. EDV has held meetings with local Councils and Councillors. To ensure
   that Boundary Change is still a live issue with residents, EDV commissioned an
