PM Submission -132008.176.05 J MacKinnon

Sub Terrain Works (clearing, excavaNon, leveling, stabilising)
   • Developer achieving GLA, NLA, room keys, on site car parks and reduced
       development height as a direct result of very extensive ground works to site. Whilst
       above surface visual is improved the extent of the works likely to have material
       nega+ve impact on future of site and surrounding area.
   • Ground works will drama+cally impact subject site and surrounding development
       and habitat on account of changes to water table and downstream surface run off
       water impac+ng Noosa reserve, Serenity Close, Banksia St, pathways, wetlands and
       ul+mately the Noosa River. Changes to the water table / natural water reten+on
       likely to impact surrounding areas nega+vely & create future issues for Council,
       residents and diminished wildlife & habitat.
   • Need to determine if density of development increases risk of flooding & bushfire &
       assess the overall impact on flora, fauna, animal & bird life including Koala habitat.
   • Duty of care exists to ensure localised water table, natural reten+on basins, sewerage
       works, storm water culverts and pipework are built with level of redundancy to
       accommodate the large scheme.
   • Subject development scheme in current format (with extensive grounds works)
       should go through a comprehensive engineering modelling and remedia+on works
       program to confirm Council’s support the development.
   • Developer contribu+ons and Council / State Government funding should eb
       commi:ed as part of approval if the development of this site is a priority for Noosa
       Council.
Health & Safety
   • Emergency service vehicle trying to access residents / tourists in Serenity Close
       neighbourhood will be nega+vely impacted. Duty of Care exists to overcome
       forecasted nega+ve consequences.
   • Residents / tourists / community at large driving, walking, cycling, boa+ng to site,
       parklands, natural reserve, wetlands will be nega+vely impacted on account of
       inadequate infrastructure.
Traffic Issues
• A one-way traffic proposi+on. The current road network does not adequately support
   the proposed development given its scale and an+cipated opera+on 365 days a year.
• Tourists / shoppers / guests / diners entering roadways feeding into the site in much
   higher frequency and across extended hours due to commercial opera+ons.
• “known traffic issues” exacerbated by proposal without any posi+ve solu+on to overall
   traffic issue on Sunshine Beach Road and Noosa Drive.
• Suggest Council evaluate merit of opening Banksia Avenue to Jan St and Coral Tree Drive.
   Suggest cycle pathways, walking pathways age and disability friendly on Katherina,
   Grant, Banksia, and Seren+y Cl.
• Traffic study does not contemplate proposed development in revised format including
   Hotel operator service vehicles associated with opera+ons and include es+mate of
   increased load arising from proposed retail / commercial opera+ons (casual dining,
   exercise classes, func+ons, staff parking etc)
• Se:lers Cove Je:y infrastructure – Projected implica+ons on exis+ng and future
   pathways and je:y infrastructure (disabled access and amenity) has not been
   contemplated.
