 Subject: DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR NURSERY SITE 37 GIBSON ROAD

 I wish to register my objection to planning application MCU1012083

 The reasons for my objection are;

 There is no local Noosaville need for this type of development which in any way justifies
 the rezoning of the nursery site from Residential use under the Noosa Plan to
 Commercial use.
 Residents already have access close by to all the proposed shopping types. Business
 would inevitably be taken from existing small local traders, causing financial hardship
 and possible closures.
 There are numerous empty shops and offices already available in Noosaville.
 Any direct employment increase is likely to be offset by reductions from existing shops.
 All access from Skipper Place, a small local road, will cause a range of traffic problems.
 Surrounding residential properties will suffer a serious loss of amenities through
 negative impact from noise, cooking, vehicle exhaust odours, bright late-night lighting,
 rubbish, etc. Late hour trading has been shown to attract increased traffic flows and the
 problems that arise from this increase in traffic, such as hooning.
 As has been demonstrated with other late-night and all-night facilities already located in
 the immediate area (Villa Noosa pub, McDonalds), the bulk of custom attracted to this
 facility is unlikely to come from local residents. Rather, customers will be attracted from
 outside the Noosa/Noosaville area by the late-night facilities on offer, thus placing an
 unacceptable burden on those local residents in the form of increased traffic and
 associated noise.
 Please do NOT grant the change of zoning. Your constituents are very opposed to any
 re-zoning.
