Letter regarding development · MCU15/0122

To whom it may concern,

I have been owner/occupier of 7 Val Crescent, Noosaville for four years, and if the proposed medical centre proceeds, my property will be part of it. I admit to a vested interest in the success of this project, however I wish to commend the project to council nonetheless for the following reasons:

Deterioration of the neighbouring housing stock has led to a succession of poor-quality tenancies – violent screaming matches; illegal drug use; carelessly parked, un-road-worthy old cars; even a drug-lab in a garden shed!
This project will lead to a quieter street – especially on weekends – and a pleasing border of well-tended greenery.
High-quality jobs will be created for medical and ancillary staff – Noosa needs quality jobs!
Property values will be increased by demand from centre staff seeking accommodation close to work.
Noosa's aging population will be able to access more medical specialists without having to travel to Brisbane, Nambour or Gympie.
The site has unparalleled synergies with Noosa Hospital and will surely help secure the long-term tenure of the hospital.
The prospect of a local cafe is attractive.
On a personal note – my two daughters are both in medical careers and I hope that new opportunities could in future be available to them in this area.

I am aware that some residents will be airing negative views regarding this project. I suspect that some would probably complain about any proposal at all.

Yours sincerely,

Mark Johnson
Owner/occupier 7 Val Crescent
