 Adverse noise impacts being caused    1. The acoustic report is flawed. It
 by the proposed development              must be redone based on correct
                                          design assumptions. Specifically, it
                                          is based on the wrong location of
                                          the service courtyard; the numbers
                                          used for calculation of pool area

                                          and there is no assessment of

                                       2. The proposed service court and
                                          waste collection is not as
                                          described. The drawings clearly
                                          locate the service court adjacent
                                          the proposed hotel directly
                                          opposite the residential areas of
                                          Parkridge.

 The use of the land for a hotel

                                          original Noosa Springs
                                          Development Plan was sold for the
                                          residential development of
                                          Parkridge. This was the choice of
                                          thew owner based on commercial
                                          reasons.

                                          choice of the owner.

                                          to a gross land grab for a parcel of
                                          land set aside for open space and

Adverse noise impacts being caused
by the proposed development

The acoustic report is flawed. It
must be redone based on correct
design assumptions. Specifically, it
is based on the wrong location of
the service courtyard; the numbers
used for calculation of pool area
population are grossly inadequate;
and there is no assessment of
recorded or live music.

The proposed service court and
waste collection is not as
described. The drawings clearly
locate the service court adjacent
the proposed hotel directly
opposite the residential areas of
Parkridge.

 

The use of the land for a hotel

site amounts to a “double dipping”,

development meant for the Parkridge

Notwithstanding any comment by
the developer, the land set aside for
tourist accommodation in the
original Noosa Springs
Development Plan was sold for the
residential development of
Parkridge. This was the choice of
thew owner based on commercial
reasons.

The use of the Parkridge site for
residential use to the exclusion of
tourist accommodation was a
choice of the owner.

There is no demonstrable
community benefit - no it amounts
to a gross land grab for a parcel of
land set aside for open space and
recreation.

The double dip is to increase the
site development area by specious
argument that somehow there is
benefit to the community.

The maintenance of the status quo
in terms of the number of tennis
courts is hardly a compelling
argument for ignoring the zoning
overlay.
