                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", "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 Council 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 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             estswill
