I am contacting you due to the proposal of Medicentre Properties
that have made an application to develop a Commercial Business
Type 2 Medical and Retail Business Type 2 Shop. The location for
this development includes street addresses, 53, 54, 56 and 58
Goodchap Street and 3, 5 and 7 Val Cres.

My first question is should this project begin when there is a clinic
that is and has been established on the corner of Goodchap Street
and Noosa-Eumundi Road?

The residents, owners and renters, are not enthused with this
particular development due to numerous problems that would
destroy the ambiance of the life we have in Val Crescent. There
goes my friends who have to move because the house will be razed.

On the down side of the road, the mangrove is healthy. The varied
types of birds are in abundance. The local goanna also has been
seen making his way to another part of the mangroves. Sitting on
the deck at dusk is like looking at an exotic postcard. Lake
Doonella with all the water birds is a site to behold. Unfortunately,
the upside of the road will not see any of this as the houses will be
pulled down and/or replaced with a quite a large building. One
family has this building abutting his property, blocking any
sunshine on that side of his house. Will this endanger the value of
his house?

Drainage! There is a problem with storm water runoff. There are
several drains in Val Cres but only one main drain into the
mangroves. This also collects storm water from the round-about.
The storm water is limited due to the mangroves. This area has
silted up causing a blockage. The council has attended to this,
however, the mangroves are protected which results in flooding in
the person’s yard. The council workers are not allow to remove any
