To whom it may concern,

I’m writing to express my alarm at the proposed development of 115 Noosa Rd Noosaville. Noosaville already has an adequate number of service stations for its population, even during our peak season. There is one being developed across the road from 115 Noosa Road.

*Has a Traffic Engineering and Traffic impact study been completed? It is a school zone and there are young children of Primary school age that attend Good Shepherd. The Traffic in the morning is already severely slowed at school drop off and pick up times. Adding additional traffic due to the petrol station may bring traffic to a halt.

*There are schools in Victoria that are beside Service Stations that have become contaminated sites with a potential risk to public and environmental health. This is not what I won’t for my children!!!  Surely an environmental impact study would need to be completed before you approve this Development.

*There is a pool situated beside this site. What will the engineering impact be on the structure of the pool let alone the fumes ect that will come from the additional traffic and Petrol Station.

*There are also electrical transformers near this site. You need to consider OHS. High Voltage near fuel is highly dangerous. 

I remind you of the recent incident at the Doonan United petrol station where a crazed gun wielding man ran into the gas cylinder and there was a potential fire hazard. Can you please explain to the community how you would safely evacuate a whole school campus if a similar situation of either safety or fire hazard occurred? As access would be extremely limited as you would need to block Walter Hay Drive, I doubt you could.

I hope that common sense prevails and that the proposed development of 115 Noosa Rd Noosaville doesn’t get approval. We live in an amazing part of the world where our children feel freedom and a sense of community spirit is forefront. This community does not need a petrol station beside a school. Not now, not ever. Please don’t do this to the students of Good Shepherd.


yours sincerely,

Deeahn Dawson
