 5754786                I and other Weyba Esplanade residents are against any extensions of Noosa Farmers Market due to                 Not of relevance to proposed scheme amendments – referred to DA as relates to an application                      That no change be made to

                        nightmare. Will you learn?                                                                                                                                                                                                        result of this submission
                        In high season we have cars bumper to bumper from Lesley drive roundabout up through Noosa Junction
                        attempting to access Hastings Street. To extend the market means to join onto this traffic jam. If the
                        management are seeking more stalls it may be helpful to remove such stalls that sell Rocklea produce
                        and is not authentic local farmers produce. The FM original conditions were to have a traffic controller
                        and this isn't occurring. Nor are their health inspections. Weyba Esplanade has already had river
                        embankment erosion and a request to Council for yellow lines to be placed in our street was ignored. The
                        neighbours have had enough with the squeeze we contend with every Sunday just to get out of our
                        driveways. There is no more parking spaces available and the road is deteriorating due to the extra traffic.
            23063897    I look forward to no more land clearing in the Noosa Shire and some urban density over the transit hub          The amendments provide for affordable housing and small dwellings within and around key centres in                That no change be made to

                        parks in much of the Gympie Terrace high use area. Is the council proposing to fill the gap by providing        to build big dwellings to accommodate anybody who may want to visit Noosa. It does not improve housing
                        significant additional public parking?                                                                          choice or affordability for residents and workers.

                        The council's assumption that two thirds of households in the council area having three or more bedrooms
                        only accommodate one to two people is incorrect. Many residents have larger houses encouraging their
                        family and friends to come and visit regularly due to the attractiveness of Noosa. These additional rooms
                        provide an opportunity for family members to come together and reunite in an increasingly global world.
                        Many friends and visitors also enjoy Noosa in these larger homes when alternative accommodation is not
                        available or is unaffordable.
