               Dear Sir / Madam
                                I wish to inform you of my OJECTION to application          MCU10/2083
               for the following reasons

                          The current Noosa plan for 37 Gibson Rd is zoned "Attached housing" and as
                  one side of the road is completely residential, a commercial site is not appropriate
                  there.

                          Skipper Place is a "No Through Road" servicing 150 houses and will not
               accommodate the volume of traffic suggested in the redevelopment.
                As 37 Gibson Rd is on a roundabout there will also be major congestion on that corner.



                              Need is the argument the developers are using, but all the proposed
               businesses are already mirrored in the shops servicing the area in Thomas and Mary Sts
               within a 5 minute walk.
               The new businesses will only take staff and profit from established outlets in the area and
               everyone will suffer financial hardship in these tough times.
               As the area is fully built, there will be no increase in population in this area to warrant the
               change. This site needs to he residential.



                                 The volume of traffic proposed and mechanical equipment in use 24
               hours a day will cause a constant invasion of noise and air pollution for this now quiet
               residential area.
                               There will also be cooking odours, scattered rubbish and permanent bright
               lighting disturbing adjacent neighbours.

                            There will be an increase in temperature from the carpark surface and also
               by the high walls blocking the breeze to neighbouring residents.
               Trees, by necessity, will also be cut down for access to the site and this will add to
               temperature increase. We have an amazing variety of birds using this foliage.

                          For all these reasons I request that the Council reject the plans for the
               commercial redevelopment of 37 Gibson Rd.
