PM Submission - Carmel Robinson - MCU25/0118

To: Assessment Manager- Noosa Shire Council Date:/d'/l 1/25
Re: Application Number MCU25/0118
Description: Development Permit for Material Change of Use by Coast2Bay for Multiple
Dwellings-Affordable Rental Premises 25 X small dwellings plus one community room
dwelling.
Site Address: 64 Lake Macdonald Drive, Cooroy Qld 4563 on Lot 2 (part) SP348613

Formal Submission Requesting Refusal of Development Application

I request that Council refuse the above development application for the following reasons:

1. Conflict With Zoning Intent

The proposal is inconsistent with the Community Facilities (cemetery) zoning and
undermines the long-term strategic purpose of land reserved for essential community
infrastructure.

2. Precedent Risk

Approval would weaken the integrity of Community Facilities zoning across the Shire and set
an undesirable precedent for repurposing land intended for community needs.

3. Incompatible Scale and Character

The proposed medium-density development is out of scale with the surrounding low-density
neighbourhood and conflicts with the Cooroy Local Plan’s vision, resulting in loss of local
character and amenity.

4. Unsuitable Location for Affordable Housing

The site is too remote from shops, services, and public transport. Concentrating affordable or
social housing in this location would create social disadvantage and is not supported by the
Noosa Plan’s housing principles.

5. Traffic and Access Constraints

Dianella Court is not designed to accommodate the traffic volumes and vehicle movements
generated by the proposed development, creating safety concerns and reduced amenity for
existing residents.

6. Loss of Future Community Infrastructure Capacity

Using land intended for community purposes for residential development compromises
Council’s ability to provide essential community facilities into the future.
