                         Notice of SUbmission
              File No MCU14/0106 - Noosa Civic Expansion

I am completely against the expansion of Noosa Civicfor the following
reasons.

• SUfficient shopping facilities already exist - There are plenty of
  shops, supermarkets, discounts stores already in Noosa, more willonly
  cause financial problems for existing shops and landlords.
• Won't enhance Noosa as a drawcard for tourists - Noosa can't
  compete with the cities regarding shopping variety but we win hands
  down with our natural beauty and beaches. More shops will not make
  Noosa more attractive and could have downsides for both locals and
  tourists with potential traffic grid locks and loss of our natural
  environment.
• Traffic Lights - One of the lovelythings about Noosa is the lack of
  traffic lights. However one newspaper reported the Noosa Civic
  expansion submission included traffic lights to be installed at the corner
  of Eenie Creek Road and EumundiRoad. This would make EumundiRoad a
  regular gridlock area causing traffic hold ups at other round-abouts and
  could end up meaning even more traffic lights on EumundiRoad.
                                                                        2
