Dear Sir / Madam

RE: 27 Attunga Heights Noosa Heads on Lot 27 RP89506

I am the owner of Unit 2 10 Attunga Heights. I strongly object to the proposed Material Change of Use and Development at 27 Attunga Heights Noosa Heads for primarily the following reasons:

Traffic increase - The development will result in a significant increase in traffic in an already congested street which has a significant number of cars usually parked on the street. This traffic will be excessive during the construction period, and will comprise heavy earth moving equipment etc during the initial stage. Once completed, the proposed development will result in the extension of Attunga Heights and an ongoing increase in traffic servicing the development. A quiet street ruined.

Environment and amenity destruction – the path from the end of Attunga Heights down to the roundabout on Noosa Drive is a pleasant walk through the bush and was one of the attractions for purchasing in Attunga Heights. The trees along this path are a haven for koalas, whipbirds and other bird species. There are also goannas that live in the bush along the path. This environment will be destroyed by this development. The trees in this area are part of the Noosa character and it would be such a shame to see the proposed development ruin this area and part of the charm of Noosa for our family.

Impact of Construction on this Site – This site is a steeply sloping site in two directions with a substrate of sand. Removal of the trees and construction on this site will lead to significant erosion and will require a substantial foundation system for the buildings and the road. This will lead to a significant impact to the site and an extended period of construction and hence disruption for all residents in the vicinity of this site.

I will be extremely disappointed if this development application is successful as it flies in the face of what Noosa stands for with regards to environmentally friendly and sustainable development. I also find the period provided for submissions to be extremely devious on the part of the developer as a number of residents may have been away for the festive season, as we have been. (start as you mean to continue which indicates that this development will be nothing but trouble for local residents)

Please do the right thing and reject this application.

Yours faithfully

Steven Napier
