PM Submission Object - Barry Cotterell MCU16/0153 & REC16/0041

                                                                                                         5



                     The proposed Multiple Housing and Visitor Accommodation units are highly
                     urban in nature and this development is reflective of one within the
                     semi-attached housing zone or the attached housing zone rather than the Open
                     Space Recreational Zone and for that reason should be rejected.

                     12. Land dedicated to Council
                     Adams + Sparkes fail to point out that the land the developer proposes to again
                     dedicate land to Council is not suitable for building on as it is wetland and on the
                     other side of the creek which the developer so carefully has avoided
                     acknowledging.

                     How many times can the developer dedicate land to Council in order to be given
                     an approval without actually assigning it to Council? I also assume that a
                     significant reason for dedicating this land to Council is to reduce the amount of
                     rateable land and not for any altruistic reason.

                     13. Period of Approval
                     If Council were to approve this DA in any form, I request that the period of
                     approval be reasonable but as short as possible and that the staging be reversed
                     to provide for the Hostel to be exclusively for visitor accommodation.

                     14. Summary
                     In summary the proposed development significantly conflicts with the Noosa
                     Plan, for the following reasons:

                              The DA proposes building on Open Space Recreational zoned land a
                               development which is totally inconsistent in a multitude of ways with the
                               Noosa Plan;
                              The DA raises significant environmental concerns especially with regard
                               to the watercourse and wetlands;
                              the proposed development is in serious conflict with multiple
                               requirements of the Eastern Beaches Locality Code:
                              The proposed development is not consistent with the reasonable
                               expectations of residents in the locality, given the Peregian Beach
                               Caravan site is to primarily provide for budget visitor
                               accommodation, which is in the public interest;
                              There are no grounds provided that are sufficient to overcome the
                               level of conflict identified with the Noosa Plan.

                     For all of the above reasons I urge Council to uphold the Noosa Plan and refuse
                     this DA and the application to reconfigure the 1 lot into 29 lots.

                     Yours Sincerely,



                     Barry Cotterell
