Calile Noosa Council Submission

I (Brett Sidney Eames), make the following submission;


The proposed change application provides an improvement development outcome to the
existing approval over the site.
How this is achieved is:

The developments alignment with Noosa Plan provisions, strategic aims and outcomes for a
Resort use on site within the tourist accommodation zone.

There is no development footprint encroaching into key environment or conservation zones,
with the increased setbacks and significant vegetation retention to Serenity Close.

The primary access coming from Banksia Ave and not Serenity Close improves access
arrangements for this area.

The varying construction materials, the utilisation of natural light and ventilation, the
separation of buildings to create less bulk and mass plus with the inclusion of lightweight
awnings and articulated roof form lends the overall construction in meeting Noosa design
elements.

The development will not only be a major contribution to local economy during construction
phase but also ongoing with the increase in tourism spend, every one-dollar tourism dollar
spend equates to three dollars in the local economy, flow on effect.

The ongoing operation (up to 300-350 staff), local procurement, flow own expenditure
within other areas of Noosa will be significant. Tourism economic modelling suggests the
flow on of spending outside the resort into the Noosa region upwards of $150 per day per
person.

A new resort of this standard will align with the Noosa Tourism Brand and provides a five
star product that is currently missing in the regions accommodation mix. It will be an
exciting tourism offering that will engage not only but also the local community meeting by
meeting expectations of a tourism product that fits in with the Noosa way.

The location of this development in close proximity to Noosa Junction with ease of access
through pedestrian links is vital to the business centre of Noosa Junction. The increase in
trade to the existing tourist retail and hospitality offerings in Noosa Junction will be
phenomenal and contribute to the vitality of the Junction.
