                                Objection to the Proposed Hotel at Noosa Springs


     It has not gone unnoticed that this DA has been opened for comment for a short period of time just before
     Christmas when most people are otherwise occupied or away.

     No analysis has been provided in the Adamson Town Planning Report of the impact upon existing users of
     Noosa Springs Resort, including members and residents. This impact is significant. The "material change of
     use" will adversely affect every person in Noosa Springs, The Oasis, Parkridge, Elysium and The Fairways (795
     properties), resort staff and members.

     The development fails so many tests:



        •    It isn't "boutique", in fact it will have roughly the same number of rooms as the French Quarter in
             blastings Street
        •    At 12m high it will visually overpower existing buildings
        •    Two thirds of the development is to be built on land zoned "recreational and open space"
        •    It breaches height and setback restrictions
        •    Zoning maps indicate it is a "Core Koala Habitat", "a Koala Priority Habitat" and this will be lost
             together with other fauna and flora
             rWith potentially 224 occupants, plus children and additional staff, the already existing fire evacuattorr
             risk will be significantly increased with potentially disastrous ramifications. Numerous discussions

Objection to the Proposed Hotel at Noosa Springs

It has not gone unnoticed that this DA has been opened for comment for a short period of time just before
Christmas when most people are otherwise occupied or away.

No analysis has been provided in the Adamson Town Planning Report of the impact upon existing users of
Noosa Springs Resort, including members and residents. This impact is significant. The “material change of
use” will adversely affect every person in Noosa Springs, The Oasis, Parkridge, Elysium and The Fairways (795
properties), resort staff and members.

The development fails so many tests:

It isn’t “boutique”, in fact it will have roughly the same number of rooms as the French Quarter in
Hastings Street

At 12m high it will visually overpower existing buildings

Two thirds of the development is to be built on land zoned “recreational and open space”

It breaches height and setback restrictions

Zoning maps indicate it is a “Core Koala Habitat”,
together with other fauna and flora__ ;

With potentially 224 occupants, plus ‘children ‘and additional staff, , the already e existing fire evacuation}
risk will be significantly increased with potentially disastrous ramifications. Numerous discussions
with Council in the past has done little to alleviate this very serious issue e.g. The Oasis BC Review of

a Koala Priority Habitat” and this will be lost

 

 

The DA suggests that the guests and staff will be arriving and leaving on 2 wheels or public transport.
This is just not realistic

An already busy carpark will be inadequate for guests, staff, golfers and those who use the spa, gym,
medical facilities, restaurant etc. It is already over capacity at peak times and the Parking Studies
lack meaningful analysis

There will be increased noise and activity in an area where many elderly people reside and will affect
the quiet enjoyment and wellbeing of residents and potentially their security and safety

The club house, golf course, gym, restaurant, spa and pool will not be as available to residents and
members with Tee Times likely to be at a premium as hotel guests will likely be given priority

The developers are potentially “double-dipping” as the land originally earmarked for a hotel was used
to build Parkridge.

Many of the above serve to undermine the integrity of the Noosa Plan 2020.
