~ the main commercial entrance to the site will be via Val Crescent, the proposed development will have a negative
itraffic impact on Val Crescent as it will result in a significant increase in vehicles using the street, particularly commercial
I vehicles .
. The addttional. traffic generated by the proposal will include commercial vehicles such as delivery trucks, vans and trade
  vehicles. 12.5m long heavy rigid vehicles will also need to access the stte, as well as refuse collection trucks.
t

 Val Crescent is a quiet local road and is only intended to service residents who live in the street. There are no footpaths
,on either side of Val Crescent and the street is used for walking on by the local residents (and also all the people who
  currently park in the street to access the hospital). The increased traffic on the street will make this more dangerous,
, particularly for the children and the senior citizens.
I                                                                                         --------.-------,
  The site access for commercial vehicles, staff and visitors on Val Cr is Inappropriate. It is located near the roundabout and I
! directly oppostte three resldentlal driveways. There will be an increased risk that vehicles and trucks accessing the         I
! proposed site will have an accident with other vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians.                                                 I

I The section of Goodchap St near the Noosa Hospital and Val Crescent are already under a lot of strain in terms of car
  parking, with them being used as an overfiow car park for the hospttal's staff, patients and visttors. A 90 bed facility
'\directly across the road which has up to 35 staff and visitors will exacerbate this problem with more and more people
                                                                                                                                    i

  parking on Goodchap St, Val Crescent and nearby side streets.
I       While the proposed development will have a basement car park, I believe tt will not be sufficient to meet the car parking
    ! needs    of the facility at peak times.

        Construction
    ,

    II  The Val Crescent residents will have to endure the constant noise, dust. machinery operation and trucks of building the
        facility for at least 14 to 16 months. This is not the building of a detached house we have to put up with, but a major
        construction stte directly opposije our homes. This is unreasonable given that we live in a detached housing zone.

    I     uI nderstand the need for more eged care facilities on the Sunshine Coast. however, they should be located on a more
         appropriate site. Val Crescent is not an appropriate site for this development.
