 Your Say    ECM         Submitter comments                                                                                                 Response   Recommendation

                         dwellings can often accommodate higher density living and allow cost sharing amongst occupants that
                         cannot be achieved in multi-dwelling development.
                         A thorough analysis of market trends and cost factors is essential to ensure that the proposal effectively
                         addresses affordability concerns rather than simply increasing the density without achieving the desired
                         reduction in housing costs. It is not evident that this assessment has been made.
                         A balanced and inclusive approach will help ensure that the needs of all residents are met while achieving
                         the desired urban planning outcomes. The current proposal does not do this.
 5826568                 The proposed medium density changes are preposterous. If somebody wishes to build a single house on
                         a medium density site that is over 600m2 they should be allowed to as they own the land and have a right
                         to have house.
                         We have gone form a council town plan where it seemed they wanted absolutely no development to now
                         wanting every developer to flood the town and build more units?! . Why are Noosa Council trying to create
                         more population growth in areas that are already congested and full. The town does not have enough
                         resources and infrastructure to cope with this. The reason Noosa is loved is because of the low density
                         building everywhere. Furthermore, if someone wants to build two house sized duplexes on a medium
                         density site that is over 600m2 they should be allowed to.
             23108860    Strong objection to restrictions that don’t allow for single and dual occupancy homes on properties over
                         600m2 and that only small dwellings of 75m2 can be built on such properties.
                         This will impact on the economic viability of such properties, and they will likely not be viable or affordable.
                         Lack of equity that lots smaller than 600m2 can have a duplex or a single dwelling and also issues about
                         replacing a single dwelling with a single dwelling. In addition allowing for a duplex is still increasing
                         housing density so this should be allowed.
                         Housing in the Gympie Tce and Mary St area has increased significantly in recent years and adding
                         numerous small dwellings will make a busy area even busier. This would be better located in areas such
                         as Noosa Civic and not the river precinct.
 5824305                 I would like council to reconsider the amendment that would have housing blocks of 600 sq m have
                         multiple dwellings on the blocks. We, as residents, want the right to choose what we have on our blocks.
                         Making blocks smaller will change the atmosphere of our shire, we don’t want to live on top of each other.
                         It will create issues with where children will play, as yard space will be reduce or illuminated altogether.
                         Council will be required to supply more recreation areas, costing more money to find land and maintain
                         these areas.
                         There will also be issues with parking, which is already an issue in some parts of the shire. Some streets
                         already have no space for the vehicles or the residents they have now. Adding more houses will just
                         increase the problem."
 5829569                 Two years ago we purchased our property at 20 Ventura St, Sunrise Beach with the sole object as an
                         investment to retain it as our permanent residence for our retirement. Our future intentions are to develop
                         our property into Dual residency/Duplex so our son can also remain living in Noosa Shire to bring up his
                         planned family in the adjoining Duplex.. We are 100% against your proposal as it could separate our
                         family and not give our son the opportunities to continue residing here. Your proposal does support
                         permanent residency and not short term rentals which we also in favour.
 5817654                 I disagree with the densification in the proposed amendment 2 in relation to both making single dwellings
                         an inconsistent use in medium density and use of community facilities zones for any type of housing . My
                         objection is in relation to already lacking infrastructure and services in the shire to support further
                         densification together with taking away landowners future rights to build standalone homes and to putting
                         any type of housing on community use facility land. Noosa shire and particularly hinterland towns do not
                         have adequate public transport, road networks or health and community services to support another level
                         of even higher volume of very small dwellings in the proposed amendment 2.
 5821247     23122806    I wish to object to the MANDATORY nature of the proposed Amendments to the Noosa Planning Scheme,
                         as it affects ""Medium Density"" and ""High Density"" zoned property.
                         These Amendments would IMPOSE an increase in the number of Dwellings, leading to RAMPANT and
                         UNCONTROLLED OVER development by the PRIVATE SECTOR.
                         Noosa Council has very successfully and uniquely maintained a balance of housing development for the
                         past 30 years.
                         Adopting these Amendments to Medium Density and High Density zones will lead to a most dramatic
                         change in the neighbourhood characteristics of Noosa.
                         To date Noosa has been so successful without MANDATING MAXIMUM density developments in these
                         zones.
                         Council MUST oppose these Amendments, which would impose a massive change to Noosa's hard
                         fought unique neighbourhood character."
