NOTICE OF SUBMISSION

To:        The Chief Executive Officer

Whitsunday Regional Council

Date: .. / .. / ….

I wish to make a submission on the Draft Whitsunday Regional Council Planning Scheme 2015, as follows:

  1. I object to the proposed heights in the draft planning scheme as I believe it is inconsistent with the community’s intent for the area.
  2. I think the prescribed outcomes are incompatible with surrounding development.
  3. This draft planning scheme fails to address the interfaces with surrounding properties.
  4. I object to potential traffic and car parking issues that are not addressed in the draft planning scheme.
  5. This draft planning scheme does not protect and enhance the natural environment.
  6. This draft plan does not include a local government infrastructure plan.

I suggest that the current design 5 storey maximum for Port of Airlie is suitable for our town.

I understand that there has been a development application made for a new 3 storey hotel on the main street and see no reason for any other street front development to be above heights laid out in the current town plan.

If a version of this draft planning scheme is to be presented to State Government for approval that it contains a maximum height of 6 storeys.

If setbacks and avoidance of a block wall streetscape are to be enforced along Shute Harbour Road and Airlie Esplanade that Airlie Creek frontage is included.
