Objection to the Proposed Hotel at Noosa Springs

Ithas not gone unnoticed that this DA has been opened for comment for a short perlod of time lust before
Christmas when most people are otherwise occupled 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 restdents. This impact Is significant. The “material change of
use” will adversely affect every person In Noosa Springs, The Oasls, Parkridge, Elysium and The Falrways
(795 properties), resort staff and members.

The development falls 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 ft will visually overpower existing buildings
Two thirds of the development is ta be built on land zoned “recreational and open space”
It breaches helght and setback restrictions

Zoning maps Indicate It iy a “Core Koala Habitat”, “a Koala Priority Habitat” and this will be lost
together with other fauna and flora

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

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 fs already over capacity at peak times and the Parking Studles
lack meaningful analysis

There will be Increased nolse 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 avallable 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 orlginally earmarked for a hotel was
used to build Parkridge.

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

I object to the Application for the proposed hotel on the above grounds.
