PM Submission -132008.176.05 J MacKinnon

Development Planning Compliance – unclear
   • Unable to confirm if 1: 1 ra+o is adhered to.
   • Setbacks of new design do not seem to comply; developer has used averaging across
      Northern boundaries which is not appropriate for proposed scheme.
   • Confirma+on of building line above or below Serenity Close Street level.
   • Development site lines, height, scale & proximity to Banksia St round-a-bout would
      suggest may cause traffic build up into the round-a-bout and roads feeding causing
      conges+on and pedestrian safety issues.
   • Windows / balcony viewing points from northern aspect of bookends looking into
      Serenity Close to be in keeping with development code.
   • Net loss of vegeta+on and habitat to be measured and reflected in approval /
      scheme. Ongoing assessment and controls to be adhered to under approval.
      Currently proposal unclear.
   • Impact on surrounding development South – natural habitat, water table, water
      reten+on, sewer, flooding etc.
ESG Design ObjecNves – Developer and Noosa Council Commitment
   • Very hard to see where ac+ve a:empts have been made to promote ESG and or
      achieve ESG development design objec+ves comparable to luxury Hotel development
      undertaken in other LGA’s or CBDs. Would be good to have these ar+culated for
      public comment.
   • A luxury Hotel with the highest ESG creden+als should aimed for by Council for
      benefit of community and environment. Accredita+ons such as Nathers, NABERS,
      Green Star Ra+ngs, BEEM, LEED should provide guidance on how to achieve and
      maintain ra+ngs and ul+mately iden+fy a pathway to net zero.
   • ESG objec+ves should be at the heart of all design principles, construc+on / building
      materials used, flora and fauna impact, water reten+on basis detail, EV charging, on
      site food waste dehydrators, recycling ini+a+ves, removal of gas from site, carbon
      footprint, health and safety ini+a+ves, community engagement and governance
      across site and opera+ons.

Over Development
   • By virtue of trying to decrease vehicle impact to surrounding development developer
      seeking to do extensive ground works. Obliga+on to understand and evaluate impact
      on wetland / natural water table of site and model impact.
   • Duty of care to community to ensure the current infrastructure is adequate and or
      commit capital works to bring up to an acceptable standard.
   • 195 rooms with proposed commercial opera+ons and demand on exis+ng
      infrastructure without addi+on is excessive.
   • Ac+vely avoid increased traffic load to Junc+on round-a-bout, Grant Street, Katherina
      & Banksia Street. (already at max during peak tourism season)
   • Encourage review of Banksia Street access point so traffic flow has an alterna+ve
      route to flow as opposed to proposed closed loop.
   • Council and or via developer contribu+ons should be used to commit to upgrading
      road, sewer, wet land, Noosa Reserve, pathways, cycleways & associated
      infrastructure.
