This site exists because Noosa Council does not do community consultation about the 62 Lake Macdonald Drive development.

It has downloadable resources, site videos, and contact details.

Ask Council now about proposed changes to the Noosa Plan that affect the DENSITY and LOCATION of HOUSING developments

Without engaging neighbours via a conventional consultation process - and by confidential agreement - Council agreed to sell a parcel of community land to Coast2Bay to build a high-medium density social housing complex. The land was previously set aside to expand Cooroy cemetery. Council later woke up to the fact it was the old Cooroy Landfill. Then the costs began to soar.

Coast2Bay's proposal is the first of three development lots proposed for the sloping site, high above an existing neighbourhood that already struggles with stormwater runoff. We can see Cooroy's township is suffering similar housing pressure as many parts of Australia, and everyone needs somewhere to live. The problem is the scale of development and fitness for place. It's about good town planning that balances the needs of everyone and considers the serious impacts as well as the benefits Council seek.
