Ramon Pollach - Royal Mail Submission

                      We also need to ensure that the many cyclists, pedestrians, mobility scooters, etc along with
                      cars exi ng private driveways can do so safely.

                      At present the proposal includes 53 onsite car parks. This is well short of the 183 car parks
                      required under the Noosa Plan 2020. A shor all of 130 car parks is signi cant and not even
                      close to what is required and therefore the current applica on does not sa sfy this
                      requirement.

                      Noise
                      The proposed outdoor dining courtyard, the introduc on of music/live bands, increased
                      vehicle tra c and overall increase in patrons will have considerable increase of noise to
                      Blakesley St. While the current applica on does feature some sound proo ng and minor
                      landscaping it is once again insu cient. At present Lot 3 is shown as being le in its current
                      state, a vacant block. Given it is directly in front of the proposed outdoor dining/beer garden
                      this area should be heavily landscaped with mature vegeta on to act as a bu er and reduce
                      noise spilling into the residen al areas of Blakesley St. In fact the proposed landscaping
                      along Blakesley St is virtually non existent. Extensive mature landscaping is required all on
                      the street frontage to reduce noise and light from the dining areas as well as reduce the
                      impact of car noise & lights entering & exi ng the car park. The applica on at present does
                      not su ciently address these issues.


                      Heritage Appearance of Facade
                      The current front appearance/facade of the building facing Poinciana St is diabolical (1970’s
                      Pokies entrance, etc). In no way does it represent the protected heritage of the original
                      establishment da ng back to the late 1800’s. Any redevelopment should incorporate
                      returning the facade to re ect its original heritage as best as possible. The current
                      applica on simply looks to repair and repaint the current 1970’s facade rather than re ect
                      the original building. See images below.
