                         and bio-diversity. Any sub- division has an impact on wildlife and more cars/dogs that accompany
                         increased population means more loss of wildlife.
                         What is the impact on villages like Pomona where these changes have the potential to completely alter
                         the physical landscape of our village to something akin to a horrid ghetto. Cooroy has already been totally
                         ruined through poor developments and your total incompetency with regard to the Quarry has already
                         reduced our lifestyle. And now you are wanting to diminish our lifestyle (and destroy the wildlife) even
                         further through allowing unnecessary and unwanted increased density in our village. As some areas need
                         to remain as villages.
                         What was the point in wasting money on the Pomona Placemaking Study when it appears you are not
                         going to take any notice of what residents have stated.
 5808888                 I do not want any of these amendments to be enacted and change the original Noosa Town Plan 2020. I
                         think it is highly inappropriate to increase the density throughout Noosa Shire. The proposed amendments
                         completely contradict the values and character of the shire and specifically Pomona.
                         It is disgraceful to dictate what type of dwelling is inappropriate to be built on a med/high or low density
                         zoned block, i.e no single or duplex dwellings within these zones and that you are not allowed to renovate
                         your property to increase its size without a change in MCU which would most likely be rejected as per
                         your proposed amendments. I believe the proposed amendments need to be better evaluated to align
                         with what constituents want and value throughout Noosa Shire and that a much more in-depth community
                         engagement and consultation process needs to be conducted.
 5829016                 It don’t see that these proposed amendments reflect the values and desired outcome of our small
                         community.
                         With the recent growth in our population, the town is already struggling with the inability to find a park in
                         and around town to just pop into the chemist or doctors and with more vehicles proposed to require parks
                         on the roads with the proposed dated low/medium/high density areas the town won’t be able to cope and
                         will add further struggle with the facilities and services currently provided.
                         Although I’m very aware that something needs to be done to address the homeless situation that the
                         Noosa area is currently dealing with the potential for locals already owning houses to lose their rights to
                         make changes and renovations to their own properties if these proposed amendments are actually legally
                         and legitimately passed, will not solve the problem but in fact increase the issue of people further requiring
                         housing.
                         Factoring in the flood areas and zones in our town I am quite miffed to see the community areas addition
                         in temporary housing as required in and around the railway area on the maps and up and beyond around
                         the school.
                         This all should of been demonstrated with a visual of all the maps fully detailing the areas that will change
                         and the growth and estimated added population to each and every area on the map that has been
                         proposed. To hear that some parcels of land have already been rezoned and sold to developers is
                         exceptionally disheartening.
                         When you have towns that are closing down banks and doctors and wanting to increase populations there
                         are a lot more issues that need to be addressed prior to be able to cope with what may come.
 5830347                 I am stunned by the urgency these changes to a plan that is 4 years old has been jammed thru with so
                         little explanation and consultation with the community that you are supposed to represent.
                         You must not allow change from 3 to 4 storey buildings.
                         You must not allow building in conservation areas.
                         You have to focus on building infrastructure adequately.
                         You asked us to complete place project for Pomona and you are ignoring everything we said as a
                         community. Stop! Listen and address the concerns of the community you are supposed to support. Stop
                         treating our concerns as trival.
                         How can you rezone whole streets into medium density housing any consideration of the impact on those
                         residents property value, probably their only asset. How can you not take into account the basic
                         infrastructure needs required when adding hundreds of people to a small community like Pomona!!
 5817936                 Noosa/Pomona does not need rezoning. I am very much against this proposed plan.
                         If you really want to change Pomona, fix the roads, kick out, or reduce the scale of operation of Cordwells,
                         finish the foot path at the top of hill street going down hill, stop closing all the bush tracks by putting up
                         gates, no more speed reductions, maintain nature strips and fire breaks more regularly, and bring back
                         kerbside collections. Simple ideas that the public actually want and would appreciate, not rezoning areas
                         so you can cram more tiny homes on one block, over populate an area and increase car and traffic
                         volume.
                         Leave the hinterland alone, stop trying to implement city life on a country town
 5829619     23145873    I wish to submit my objections to the many changes in this proposal that will affect Pomona township in a
 and         and         negative way as well as many other surrounding hinterland areas and Noosa itself.
