 5822370                 My specific concerns are property owners in these areas will be mandated by the council what they can
                         do with their land, if they wish to extend an existing dwelling or rebuild. I’m also concerned that insufficient
                         parking has been allowed for with the small dwellings. Many workers work shifts, have tools, work in areas
                         not supported by public transport etc and as such a vehicle is a necessity.
 5822774                 When we purchased in Noosa Heads nearly 20 years ago we chose the area because the Noosa Plan
                         determined that the area was residential, not medium density. The area was and still is a community of
                         residents, we all know each other. We can walk to the shops and planed to live here for the rest of our
                         lives peacefully and surrounded by local neighbours. Recently Delorme Street zoning changed and
                         immediately the big machines moved in and building started.
                         If the proposals are passed our community will be lost as small unit blocks are built, renters will move in
                         and out with regularity, our community where long term residents know their neighbours will be gone.
                         This is why people love living in Noosa why are you trying to destroy what is good? unit blocks in
                         previously low density communities is not the solution.
                         Did anyone consider where people will park and the increased road traffic. Wishing that people will use
                         other forms of transport is a dream not a plan. How is taking away the transit centre from Noosa Heads
                         consistent with increasing public transport use?
                         More generally. I understand the need for low cost housing in the area but the solutions proposed are
                         unbelievable.
 5825024     23132017    Medium and high density residential zones need to allow for property owners to be able to replace existing
 and                     dwellings with single residential houses, (not just duplexes), to allow for families to build new homes and
 5824859                 continue living on their current properties.
                         Allowing the build of new single detached dwellings in medium and high density zones, would be
                         prioritising permanent residents over short term rentals as families need larger homes with 4 bedrooms,
                         families do not fit in 2 bedroom or 3 bedroom duplexes!
                         2 and even 3 bedroom duplexes will be used as short term rentals, as they do not suit /are not liveable,
                         for families who work and go to school in the area. Not permitting new single dwellings to be built in
                         medium and high density zones would be against and contradict councils plan to prioritise permanent
                         residents over short term rentals.
                         Our house along with others are approaching / at their ‘use by date’. Our house is old and needs to be
                         replaced with a new family home which is liveable, by providing enough space for adults plus school aged
                         children, and needs to meet current home liveable standards and be energy efficient. We should not
                         have to, move to a new home elsewhere, when we own our property in Attunga Heights Noosa Heads
                         and are rate payers and purchased our property for our family to grow and live in. Our family should be
                         permitted to replacing our family home with our desired new family home in the exact same location as
                         our current family home, where, we and our children are familiar with, and can access school, after school
                         activities and all the facilities our family needs.
                         We should not have to pay the extra cost to build duplexes instead of a family home.
             23122666    I am a Noosa resident and own the property at 10 Weyba Street, Sunshine Beach. This property is located
             and         in a medium density residential zone. There is an old single-storey dwelling on the property including a
             23122670    pool. We have just bought this property in March 2024 with the purpose to demolish the old dwelling and
                         build a new dwelling intended to become the home and longterm property of our children. The dwelling is
                         currently tenanted.
                         The proposed changes to Medium Density Residential Zone poses a significant threat to us as it would
                         dramatically impact our existing planning rights.
                         This is a deeply personal matter for me. It directly impacts my children's future wellbeing. Furthermore, it
                         is a severe financial threat to myself and my family as the value of this recently purchased property is
                         about to decline dramatically if these changes are implemented.
             23132344    WE wish to OBJECT to various aspects of the proposed Amendment No.2 of the Noosa Plan 2020.
                         1. When a person buys a developed or undeveloped property they do so with knowledge of the existing
                         Council Regulations relevant at the time of purchase. This property then becomes the owner’s personal
                         realm, kingdom and their part of Australia. Governments and planners may see changing demographic
                         and regional needs arise with time, necessitating new Regulations, but WE believe it is unethical and
                         immoral to apply these new Regulations to existing owners of properties, which potentially will impede on
                         and or restrict their freedom to enjoy and develop their realm in a manner they understood allowable by
                         the Council Regulations at the time of their purchase. Thus, WE believe it is imperative that any new
                         Regulations, zoning changes and restrictions should only be applicable to these properties at the time of
                         a change of ownership of said properties.
                          2. With regard to the proposed medium and high density development changes, there will be significant
                         impacts on parking availability and public space usage and accessibility. Encouraging increased public
                         transport usage is laudable, but also, as a consequence, decreases freedom of choice in shopping
                         precincts and ease of access to public amenities. The time wasted and the inconvenience created would
                         be considerable. Unforeseen urgent contingencies could become a nightmare. Those with mobility and
                         physical impairment and the elderly will be severely affected. Garbage collection services will be
                                                                                                                                             58
