                         331 persons per square km. Peregian Beach combined with Marcus Beach the population was 4972, with
                         a population density of 362 persons per square km. Peregian Springs population was 11,235, with a
                         population density of 1,767 persons per square km – almost 5 times the population density to that of
                         Peregian Beach with minimum effect on Noosa Shire.

                         The amendment No. 2 does not support a solution to the housing crisis in this setting
             23109447    Maybe its time to accept we have reached a population/visitor limit with an accompanying sustainable
                         business limit. Bigger and More is not necessarily Be er for Noosa.
             23109359    My wife and I have lived in Noosa for nearly 25 years and we have seen little changes in that time, but as
                         I understand it Noosa likes to be modelled as a Cycle Friendly Shire. That being the case, I was wondering
                         what happened to the pedestrian/cycle track that was supposed to be built to link McKinnon Drive with
                         Lakeview Drive and provide a safe passage for walkers and cyclists instead of travelling along the
                         dangerous Lake Cooroibah Road. Obviously, most avoid this by using their cars.
             23108584    I find it incredible that Council is proposing a substantial increase in population density in the coastal
                         areas without a considered or realistic plan for infrastructure, services, traffic and parking. Just piling
                         people in as a knee jerk reaction in order to meet State requirements is likely to result in congestion,
                         parking chaos, and the potential for compromising resident safety in the event of disasters. Parts of
                         Sunshine and Sunrise Beaches, Noosa Heads and Noosaville are already becoming huge parking lots
                         with little off-street parking available outside (and sometimes within) working hours given the use of
                         garages for residential living, ownership of trailers and boats, and the widespread use of residential
                         accommodation for STA. The proposed amendments will only worsen this situation.
 5804027                 Vehemently oppose changes to Noosa Plan in regards to density and housing. The Noosa Plan is a long
                         existing set of guidelines agreed upon by the residents of Noosa to preserve our way of life.
 5819720                 Noosa is simply full, already cannot cope with all the people living there now. What does the Plan 2020
                         change here? Nothing except converting Noosa more and more towards a ghetto style area like the
                         removal of parking possibilities project Doonella Street. How should people park to go through a blood
                         test, doctor or physio? What about the small shops and coffee places? Casualties, not that important that
                         people owning them are making a living from them, creating workplaces?
             23101565    The Noosa region is forecast to accommodate more than 18,800 people over the next 25 years and
                         construct 5,000 new dwellings primarily within the existing urban footprint. 1 Industry plays a critical part
                         in ensuring these homes can be delivered to meet these growth targets and provide housing for the Noosa
                         community. The Institute is the leading peak body representing the property industry in Queensland with
                         members located across the state. Research commissioned by the Institute’s Research Foundation
                         indicates that the property development industry is a major contributor to the Sunshine Coast and Noosa
                         economy; with the property development industry directly providing 11.6% of the region’s employment
                         and $4,423.60 million to the Gross Regional Product (GRP).
                         The Institute is deeply invested in the Noosa community and is well positioned to provide comments on
                         the amendments and the ability for the Noosa Plan 2020 to deliver housing supply in this critical time of
                         need. The Institute has reviewed the Proposed Amendments to the Noosa Plan 2020 and we are
                         concerned they do not go far enough to support the urgent need for additional housing supply including
                         affordable housing to support a local workforce.
                         The Institute recommends Council undertakes modelling to ensure the proposed amendments are
                         capable of achieving the targets set out in ShapingSEQ 2023 and makes the necessary adjustments in
                         light of the new targets. There are insufficient incentives in both zones to encourage amalgamation and
                         redevelopment to provide additional housing opportunities and achieve the dwelling targets specified in
                         ShapingSEQ 2023
                         A review of the proposed zoning maps reveals that many of the rezonings relate to changing Tourist
                         Accommodation to High Density Residential to provide additional permanent residential. Given that these
                         areas have existing use rights, it is hard to see how the changed zoning will have any significant impact
                         on housing supply for key workers. The Noosa Plan needs to provide greater uplift in suitably located
                         areas to encourage redevelopment for additional higher density dwellings.
             5793916     I have serious concerns about the infrastructure - widening of roads etc that will be required for the
                         increase in density of housing. The traffic on the roads already requires improved roadways, and more
                         people will = more cars on the roads. The promised road from Noosa Cooroy Rd to Eumundi Noosa
                         Road is a must before any high density housing is added to the Shire.
 5823567                 We live in Low density area of Noosa Heads, we feel we have reached population capacity and Noosa
                         Shire does not have the infrastructure to accommodate the amended 2020 plan like the foreshore plan
                         leave it alone and tidy up our existing streets, parks and rubbish
             23145605    In addition to the points outlined below I am also extremely concerned about the Noosa 2020 plan with
                         regards to residential density. Is this not going against EVERY bit of common sense in a protected
                         biosphere? As a resident in the junction area, I would like my formal objection recorded.

                                                                                                                                          84
