Dear Sir/Madam,

RE: Proposed Noosa development in breach of planning scheme

As a concerned Noosa ratepayer | wish to draw your attention to the development
application for 27 Attunga Heights, Noosa Heads (MCU18/0015 & RAL18/0001)
which is problematic on many levels.

In its current form the proposed development poses serious environmental! and
ecological risks, is detrimental to the amenity of existing properties and is in breach
of the local planning scheme.

The developers are seeking for a combined Material Change of Use and
Reconfiguration of the site to allow for multi housing, comprising 12 units and three
detached dwellings — putting this sensitive area under enormous, undue stress.

Construction contravenes the Noosa Heads Locality Code on many fronts, most
worryingly by exceeding height and storey limits, blocking views of Noosa Hill and
the need for extensive clearing of natural habitat.

It is my understanding that the Code has specifically identified the vegetated hills
that frame Noosa Heads as containing environmental values that need protection.

On my frequent walks through the area | have seen koalas, bush wallabies, flying
foxes, echidnas, numerous birds and reptiles, all of which would be under threat from
this proposal not to mention the significant harmful impact on existing vegetation due
to the extensive earthworks required.

As you well know, Noosa is world-renowned for its relaxed lifestyle, natural beauty
and environmental diversity — all of which are put in jeopardy by this development
application.

| urge you to refuse the application on the grounds it is in breach of the planning
scheme, would be seriously detrimental to existing amenity and a blight on an area
identified as environmentally significant and requiring protection.

| would be happy to meet with you in person to discuss this matter further.
