 Your Say    ECM         Submitter comments                                                                                              Response   Recommendation

                         These proposed restrictions severely diminish the rights of landowners to grow their own food and live
                         naturally on the land. In a time where the cost of living is greatly increased this will also place further
                         financial and psychological stress on landowners affected by this “Environmental & Conservation zone”.
                         Should I ever choose to sell my property in the future I am certain this would also severely impact the
                         sale value of my land.
                         For all of the above reasons I do strongly object to the proposed planning scheme amendment to rezone
                         to an environmental management and conservation zone so that I may maintain the right to use my land
                         to live sustainably and naturally as we have done so since it was purchased as well as maintain the
                         right to fruit farm, house animals if I choose and the ability to propose hosting Eco accommodation/ Eco
                         Tourism in the future.
 5808209     23110756    This will have a negative effect on 4 properties especially the proposed 100 metre exclusion zone. This
                         will include weed and pest control. Inability to use herbicide for weed control, fungicide use, insecticide
                         use. removal of non-indigenous species.
                         311 Black Mountain Road is designated LAND FOR WILDLIFE . Which is mainly trees with some
                         grassland with a small amount of cattle agistment I fully support the other properties objections to the
                         proposed amendment
                         I have operated this property as a farm running cattle and cattle agistment and diversifying with growing
                         roses all which use pesticides and insecticides for 50 years. It is well-suited for dairy or cattle farming,
                         or for housing horses. Currently zoned rural.
                         However, a proposed zone amendment would prohibit this, complicating the sale of a rural property that
                         functions as a dairy or cattle farm, especially with a mandated exclusion zone potentially splitting the
                         property. Given its slope and adjacency to 60 Stanfield Lane, Black Mountain, runoff concerns arise,
                         affecting land use and invasive vegetation management.
                         This amendment would severely limit the property's appeal and reduce its market value, impacting
                         future use and investment potential.
 5808208     23108863    The application of the split zone will have a significant and detrimental effect on #50.
                         In particular the increase boundary set backs, consequent upon the rezoning of #60 which will impact
                         most of #50
                         Part of #50 will now have restrictions imposed being within 100m of the boundary with the Neighbouring
                         Property. The affected area is approximately 30,148m 2. This is close to 80% of the area of #50.
                         The rezoning would restrict us from constructing ordinary sheds used to store chemicals or machinery
                         or animal pens or holding yards over nearly all of the usable land on our site. Most of that part of #50
                         that is outside of the 100m setback is steep, most of the flat usable area is within the 100m set back.
                         These are matters that could usually be undertaken on Rural zoned property according to Part 6.8 of
                         the Noosa Shire Planning Scheme.
                         We are retiring in a few short years to #50 and the retirement planning has been in place for several
                         years. We intend to live self-sufficiently to the extent it can be done. In this regard we intend to run a
                         few cattle (as the feed will allow) along with poultry and potentially goats. We also hope to plant some
                         seasonal vegetables and fruit trees. With the current economic climate, it more than emphasizes how
                         we want to live in our retirement. Currently, we do not have electricity and we run a solar and battery
                         set up.
                         We bought here because it was ‘country’ and zoned Rural and allowed us to have a way of life that
                         would be economically sustainable for us as well as allowing us to comfortably retire.
                         In our future retirement plans, we will require new sheds to house feed for animals, farm machinery
                         including tractor, slasher, and sprayers.
                         Even if we keep limited amount of livestock we intend to do so responsibly and will need to upgrade
                         stock holding yards for the purpose of spraying livestock for ticks and diseases. We anticipate
                         construction of a shed for the purpose of holding chickens and ducks.
                         To support the growing of vegetables and fruit we will require a small shed containing organic fertilizers
                         and composting. As part of our intention to be self sustaining, animal waste, will be collected and
                         recycled as organic fertilizer.
                         There is an existing shed on the Affected Property but it can’t be foreseen if it will meet future needs.
                         We anticipate needing to keep a considerable amount of chemicals on the Affected Property to control
                         of groundsel, lantana, bougainvillea, and camphor laurel amongst other noxious weed species.
                         Ironically the worst of the lantana is growing into the Affected Property from the Neighbouring Property
                         as the owner of the Neighbouring Property has failed to take any measures to eradicate it.
                         Part of the existing dwelling on the Affected Property is within 20 meters of the Neighbouring Property.
                         This may restrict our ability to extend or otherwise modify the existing dwelling that would otherwise be
                         currently permissible.
                         The intended re-zoning of the Neighbouring Property will have a significant impact on our planned future
                         way of life. We have spent our money and time in preparation of retiring to our rural oasis. This rezoning
                         will not only reduce our ability to be self-sustainable but also reduce our saleable options for the property
                                                                                                                                            88
