Dear Sir,

RE:     SUBMISSION TO A DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION
Development    Application for a Material Change of Use of Premises - Retail Business
Types 6 & 7 and Industrial business Type 2 for Premises situated at 101 Eumundi Noosa
Road Noosaville and described as Lot 1 on RP230931: MCU16/0130

This letter comprises a submission to MCU16/0130 relating to the above proposal at 101
Eumundi Noosa Road Noosaville. I wish to object to the application and submit the following
grounds in support of my objection:

     1.    The proposal is in conflict with the outcomes of Noosa Plan specifically the Attached
           Housing zone, as it will negatively impact on the intent of the zone which is to cater for
           residential uses and insufficient grounds have been provided as justification for overriding
           the planning scheme

     2.    The proposal seeks to expand industrial uses on the site which is contrary to the
           Attached Housing zone. The proposed industrial uses are not appropriate for the
           residential area and will have significant impacts on the surrounding area.

     3.    The proposed range of industrial uses will be a disruption to the quiet environment of
           Ecomnoosa to the north which has been lawfully established and has limited impacts on
           the surrounding area.

     4.    Existing lawful use rights protect specific existing uses when zonings have changed as
           part of updates/changes to planning schemes. Generally it is intended that over time
           these existing lawful uses will change to a uses that is more consistent with the existing
           zone. This proposal does not even attempt to change the use to that more compatible
           with the residential zoning rather seeks to intensify industrial uses that do not exist on the
           site.

     5.   The proposal plans do not provide any certainty as to what type of uses or the size of
          business that will occur on the site. The plans and the applicant submission indicates that
          uses on site will range from repairing and servicing vehicles to a Laundromat and picture
          framing. These range of uses are not appropriate for a residential site and area and
          should be relocated to the industrial area.

      6. The applicant contends that the proposal provides more guidance about the uses that are
          allowed on the land, but have been specifically framed around the existing and historic
