PM Submission Object - Kerry Simmonds - MCU16/0153 & REC16/0041

                 Subsequently, in 2013 the developer submitted a new development application (for the
                 area where the commercial building was approved) for a supermarket and four specialty
                 shops, this time, after discussion with the Peregian Beach community. This proposal, was
                 supported by PBCAI and the Peregian Beach community and was approved by Noosa
                 Council on 29 May 2014. It was a significant improvement on what the developer had
                 previously had approved.

                 The IGA Supermarket and the four specialty shops (the IGA supermarket development)
                 which was subsequently built is a positive benefit to Peregian Beach.


                 2. The Current Development Application
                 The balance of the caravan park site, after the IGA supermarket development, is what the
                 developer is currently seeking approval to develop.

                 Here it is important to reiterate the written advice to the pre-lodgement meeting held on
                 14 December 2016 (between Council and the developer):
                      The Open Space Recreation zone in Peregian Beach specifically seeks to protect and
                      retain the site for low cost visitor accommodation needs reflective of the site’s previous
                      use as a caravan park, but also acknowledges that a range of visitor accommodation
                      may be provided where integrated with budget accommodation. There is no support
                      given to permanent residents on the site.
                      It is noted that the current approval included only visitor accommodation, with no
                      permanent resident accommodation proposed. This approved development was
                      supported by Council through an appeal process as it was acknowledged that it included
                      low to mid cost visitor accommodation being a reasonable alternative to the Planning
                      Scheme’s intent to retain the caravan park.
                      It is considered the current proposal does not meet the Planning Scheme’s intent for the
                      site as there is a lack of and a limited range of visitor accommodation proposed…….
                 The DA does not reflect this advice.

                 The other thing to mention here is the Planning and Environment Court sanctioned
                 approval of 12 February 2010 of the now lapsed DA referred to above. At item 3 it stated:
                      The units shall operate in accordance with the defined use of ‘Visitor accommodation –
                      Type 4 Conventional’ in the Noosa Plan, which provides for short term visitor
                      accommodation. The units shall not be used for the purpose of permanent residential
                      accommodation, with the exception of two manager/caretaker’s units. The Community
                      Management Statement for any or all Bodies Corporate having control of the
                      development, or any part thereof, shall incorporate this requirement.”
                 The DA is totally in conflict with this approval as can be seen below:

                 The proposal:
                 Multiple Housing of 3 types – 88 Beds (or Persons)
                 They are all proposed for PERMANENT RESIDENTS.
                     The Kamala & Marram Houses (in the centre of the ring road) There are 9 of these
                     with 3 bedrooms. (27 persons). Carparking is 9x2. Estimated price $825K
