                           your planned amendment, we would then be squeezed in and impacted from both sides. Cooroy is a
                           small town, this is changing the character of the area. Other properties nearby are large family blocks,
                           which then one by one the whole area will get swallowed up, at which time there will be significantly more
                           people arriving here than these amendments will provide for, so on it goes. Then, the future problems will
                           be even worse while the current existing properties all get lost for no actual benefits. The Council cannot
                           just keep letting people in, even encouraging it, with nowhere to go and/ or limited services available.
               23123261    Regarding the residential zoning on diamond st Cooroy. I am requesting that blocks 14-20 diamond st be                Properties at 14 – 20 Diamond St have second frontages to Diamond Lane with each lot having a site               That no change be made to the
                           rezoned to medium density to allow for multi dwelling development. I believe there is good cause for this             area more than 1,000m2. They do not adjoin other Medium Density Residential land with exception to               proposed    amendments     as
                           change.                                                                                                               land to the south of Diamond Lane. While mostly older houses, #14 accommodates a podiatry practice.              advertised as a result of this
                                                                                                                                                 There may be merit in investigating this strip further in a future planning scheme review, including traffic     submission.
                                                                                                                                                 and access considerations. However, it is outside the scope of these amendments.
               23098289    Objects to the reduced area of a caretakers premises from 100 sq metres to 75 Sq metres. It is a                      In the current Noosa Plan 2020 a caretaker’s residence is allowed to be 90m 2. In the proposed                   That no change be made to the
                           downgrading of living standards.                                                                                      amendments it is just tied to being a small dwelling as defined. This was proposed to reduce to 75m 2 but        proposed    amendments     as
                           We are trying to protect our small shop and offer an increased degree of protection to this building                  as discussed elsewhere in this report is proposed to remain 100m 2. So the allowable size of a caretaker’s       advertised as a result of this
                                                                                                                                                 residence would actually increase from 90m2 to 100m2.                                                            submission.
                           The Council has declared this premises as a heritage site.
                                                                                                                                                 While not intending to discriminate against families, sites adjacent to railway stations, or within industrial

                           subject to a number of break-ins. Our lock protecting our power supply has been smashed several times                 the caretaking is the subordinate use of a non-residential site.
                           and our toilet door has been prised open. That raises concerns that if the toilet is accessed, then the
                           intruder has access to the inside of the shop and can possibly light a fire which would remain undetected             The particular site in question has character and heritage values that make substantial building work
                           for a significant period of time.                                                                                     difficult. The submitter’s concerns are noted, however it is suggested there are avenues to pursue a
                                                                                                                                                 development approval for specific circumstances and 100m2 such be an adequate size.
                           The Police have had some success in moving people on, but technically these itinerants are not breaking
                           the law until they actually break into the premises.
                           Our preferred solution is to provide 24 hour protection and build a caretakers premises on the adjacent
                           land to the shop. We have had preliminary plans drawn up.
                           Our intention is to subsidize the rent to a security person who could offer a form of permanent protection.
                           We have in fact discussed this proposal with a suitable person but he has a family and ideally requires at
                           least two bedrooms as well as a small kitchen and living area.
                           The site is not ideal being close to the railway but we are confident that with sound proofing and adequate
                           insulation of the building we could overcome these issues. In fact the site has several advantages in that
                           the primary school children can walk to school and the parent can walk to work if he/ she has employment
                           in one of the several shops in the immediate area.
                           The real issue however, is the potential size of the caretaker housing. Even at 100 sq metres in area, it is
                           not a large area to accommodate a family.
                           We submit that we are trying to assist with the permanent housing problem as well as protecting our
                           heritage site. Why do you want to force this reduced standard of living onto other people?
                           The plans for the proposed caretakers building are being finalised and will be lodged as soon as we can
                           manage it.
