Dear Sir/Madam
| hereby object to the proposed development application on the grounds outlined in some detail in my newspaper
article titled: “Housing proposal a fiasco” published in the Noosa Today newspaper dated 21 November, 2025 (copy

attached).

Specific grounds of objection/concerns stated were: -

1, The site’s distance from public transport, shops and essential services.

2. The social and psychological impact of isolating vulnerable tenants without adequate access to amenities.
3. The development’s incompatibility and excessive density, more akin to townhouses or unit complexes than
the with surrounding single-dwelling character.

4, The risk of setting a precedent for similar high-density developments on adjoining Lots 2 & 3, and the

surrounding area.
Other grounds of objections are: -

5. Inconsistency with the zoning intent which amounts to a spot rezoning for higher density development
purposes.

6. The lack of information/transparency in creating and developing (at ratepayer’s expense) the subject land
and adjoining lots for affordable housing purposes and identifying the site as being surplus to
Community/Council needs.

7. The economic inefficiencies (wasted cost) of clearing the land, removing vegetation, remediating the
contaminated site for affordable housing purposes compared to developing land closer to the Cooroy
Shopping Centre free of contamination issues, and with better infrastructure.

8. The existing site would better serve the community for future cemetery needs, maintained the more
aesthetic open spaces and compatibility with the existing cemetery use.

| respectfully request that Noosa Council refuse the development application MCU25/0118 at 64 Lake Macdonald

Drive, Cooroy.
