lb    The Buildings.

I find it very depressing that the council is ignoring the needs of the residents of
Peregian Beach and plan to build an overwhelmingly huge dominating building
for a Digital Hub building. This has nothing what so ever to do with our village
or Peregian Beach as a whols. The article in the Noosa News makes it clear that
this building is seen to be more important than our Community House and is
given pride of place.

How dare they erect a massive two storey building, occupying a large part of
Peregian Beaches's rare and tiny parkland. As well how can they put a hideous
design on an outside wall in out tiny park. This painted wall is so grotesque and
not at all inline with the gentle charm of Peregian Beach Don't do it.

Then they remove our Peregian Beach Community House, now to be fronted with
useless steps in a hard to find position well away from it's present excellent
position.

Why can't the Noosa Council find another bit of spare land rather taking our
precious space. What about the unused land at Noosa Junction.

2. Traffic Problems and inconvenience to residents and the whole of
Peregian Beach village.

The number of people working in this massive building will create a real problem
of traffic congestion. The plan is to provide extra car parking onto the present
small car park. This will increase car numbers from la's of cars to lOa's of cars,
and note, this parking space will surely be occupied completely by the people in
this massive building with no room for the tenants and customers of the present
building on David Lo Way and the Community Centre.

At the present time the home residents of Woodland Drive, Gannet St, Tern St
and the very long Cormorant Crescent comprising a large number houses whose
only exit onto David Lo Way to from the Woodland drive exit .

. As well as cars from these homes there is a constant flow of traffic to and from
Rufous St into Woodland Drive with the same one and only exit onto David Lo
Way These are for the Kindergarten, the Tennis Club, the Peregian Community
Garden and the parking area for people within walking distance to the village.,

. We all these car owners wait sometimes over a quarter of an hour to get onto
David Lo Way if wanting to travel south even just to get to the village. Travelling
north is a smaller problem

There is no roundabout at the Woodland drive near junction. Instead we have a
but a messy system. Cars travelling from the north wanting to enter Woodland
have a centre of the road designated turning place where they have to wait until
the traffic clears on the north bound lane. This means that cars waiting to leave
Woodland Drive have to wait until these cars have entered Woodland Drive.
Usually a long wait. Cars who are exiting from the present building, homes or the
present car park into David Lo Way must travel north. If they want to travel south
they must drive up to the Woodland Drive exit and wait in the middle of the road
for a break in the south bound traffic before they can make the U turn to the
south bound road. In the mean time the cars exiting Woodland Drive must wait
till the turners turn before they have a chance to exit for the south bound road.

Can you imagine the chaos and impossible traffic conditions arising from cars
emerging from this huge new carpark which must exit onto David Lo Way on the
north bound Can you imagine the hugely increased problems for everyone using
Woodland Drive exit,the only exit for the large housing estate and the Rufous t St.
traffic, into the main road because the Council is building a huge unwanted
building on our parkland and providing it with a massive car park. '

THIS MAJORTRAFFICPROBLAEMMUST BERESOLVEDANDTHISCOUNCILPLAN
MUST BECHANGED.

People here I speak with are worried, angry, horrified No one is happy they feel
as if our home area is about to be absolutely ruined, with a hydrous new building,
cars and no possible for peace, quiet walks and getting out of our Woodland Drive
exit. I'm speaking for them as well as myself
