 Your Say    ECM         Submitter comments                                                                                              Response                                                                                                           Recommendation

                         • Where will all these people work?
                         • Our town is stretched for job opportunities. Building high density housing just put more pressure on the
                           community and take jobs away from our town and our youth
                         • There is no large industry for employment.
                         • Why don't Noosa Council build social housing in Noosa. There's lots of work in Noosa being a server.
                         • The housing will not be for key workers for the tourist areas of Noosa as Cooroy is too far out without
                           appropriate public transportation.
                         • The housing is for assisted rental for the socioeconomic level of people that do not bring wealth into an
                           area instead they bring an economic need that Cooroy is more than likely unable to shoulder.
                         • I fully agree that we need small dwellings & cheaper rentals for workers on minimum to medium wage.
                           I propose that high density & commission housing be spread out over Federal, Tinbeerwah, Tewantin,
                           Cooroibah, Coolum, Peregian etc. including Cooroy, Pomona & Cooran. Grouping commission and
                           high density homes in one area will bring congestion, reduce the authenticity and attraction of the town
                           & possibly escalate crime.




                         Residential Amenity
                         • Please consider what this will do in the long run to this beautiful place current residents work so hard      With regard to the proposed planning scheme amendments uses that are already consistent on
                           to live in.                                                                                                   Community Facilities zoned land, include childcare or schools, emergency services, infrastructure plant,
                         • This development will adversely impact on the amenity of adjoining land i.e. the existing adjacent            places of worship, hospitals etc. It’s not apparent why residential homes would have more impact on
                           residential development.                                                                                      residential amenity than any of these.
                                                                                                                                         It can be argued that any change has the capacity to affect existing residential amenity, that can include
                         • It will cause a loss of enjoyment for current residents where they have made their homes.
                                                                                                                                         noises, smells, odours, dust, light spill, traffic, etc. The eventual clearing of the pine trees for example has
                         • Proposal is directly at odds with proposed definition for residential amenity:                                been intended since Council purchased the land.
                             “the combined public and private qualities and characteristics of an area that contribute to a resident’s   Should development of the subject site proceed site management plans would be in place to mitigate
                             living condition, health and wellbeing and overall enjoyment of their dwelling and neighbourhood.           construction impacts. Construction to the northern side of Lake Macdonald Drive has occurred fairly
                             Elements which impact residential amenity include:                                                          consistently over the last decade as new houses were built. It is inevitable as communities grow.
                             a) noise and vibration from different sources including machinery and equipment (but not
                                  temporary construction noise), traffic and transport, business activities, resident and guest use
                                  of neighbouring dwellings and outdoor areas;
                             b) loss of privacy and overlooking into indoor and outdoor private spaces; or
                             c) light spill from public light sources and surrounding properties affecting sleep.
                         • Construction noise from the clearing of approximately 1.3Ha of woodland and the same area of
                           grassland and construction of approximately 160 dwellings over 5 years does not qualify as temporary
                           construction noise. What about our right to enjoy our homes without five years of living beside a
                           construction zone?
                         • Local residents will be expected to "put up" with very significant and very heavy construction noise,
                           dust, mess and traffic for a number of years. In addition to the environmental impact of this there is
                           likely to be considerable disruption to the way of life and Noosa Council simply expects people to put
                           up with this?
                         • There will be construction traffic during the building process. Our street can barely contain the working
                           cars of our residents never mind an additional 30-50 Utes every morning waking up my kids at 5:30am
                           onwards. Which is also going on at the same time as dam upgrades at Lake MacDonald with constant
                           heavy trucks frequenting the Lake McDonald Drive entrance to the street.
                         • The new development has a six-fold increase to its neighbouring properties. How is this part of the
                           council’s idea for what is considered a normal burden on people’s lives who currently reside here? This
                           density is quite simply insane.
                         • We live on the lower side of Dianella court and already have to deal with the noises coming from up the
                           hill. At certain times, we can hear the conversations in the houses parallel to us and you’re planning on
                           adding in 6 residencies to every one of the existing properties on Dianella. Your housing strategies
                           state that noise pollution must be considered when building new developments.
                         • Imagine the noise from the density of that many residences. My households sleep will be massively
