                         Bruce and Danielle Bairstow provided me with an affordable housing option, compared to the exorbitant
                         prices in the current rental market. They gave us a chance to find our feet. They are helpful and
                         compassionate and have a genuine care for their community and Noosa region.
                         With their help, we have a roof over our head and are blessed to able to live in a lovely coastal community
                         location, abundant with opportunities, and walking distance to everything we need. It’s made such a
                         difference to our lives, and we’ll be forever grateful.
                         I am sure that if the site could be rezoned to allow for affordable housing to be built there it would be a
                         great benefit to many others in the community in situations like me.
 5808412                 I support the Council’s new Doonella Street Precinct and further, I support the proposal for the Council to
                         expand the new Doonella St Precinct to include the Old Tewantin Police Station Site and police houses

                         I do not consider that this would be a substantial change of use to what is there on the site currently
                         (offices and housing) which is an eyesore.
                         A larger Doonella St Precinct creates the opportunity for a substantial increase in smaller, more affordable
                         housing which we desperately need, in an area where such a development doesn’t impact the wider
                         community.
