File No: MCU13!0092
Name of Applicant: Multispan Australia
Postal Address of Land: 5-7 Rufous street, Peregian Beach.
Proposal: Integrated shopping complex development

I (Robert Mauger)wish to make a submission on the referenced development application, as follows:


          I object to the commercial use of the Peregian Bowls Club area zoned Open Space! Recreation as determined in both
          The Noosa Plan 2006 and the draft Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme (2012).


          This development will adversely affect the consistent land and community use of the current Tennis Courts,

          Community House, Kindergarten, Veggie Village and Di Hurst Oval and surrounding residents.

          The Sunshine Coast Council Open Space Strategy 2011 identifies that "Peregian Beach locality area is generally under

          provided for with recreational parks"(2011:35) and we object to loss of this recreational land for the current and
          future residents of Peregian Beach and wider catchment to commercial development.


As a parent of children at Peregian Beach Community Kindergarten (RufousStreet) I object further to the proposed

development for the reasons of
    1.   Engineering & Traffic Issues during the proposed development there will be significant traffic conflict at the Rufous
                                         -




          Street entrance between construction and construction delivery vehicles. This leads to a considerable increase in heavy
          traffic along a narrow street which is used by families with young children. This will increase the safety risk to families
          and young children during the constriction period.
     2.   Engineering & Traffic Issues   -
                                           once the proposed development has been constructed. The entrance way to Rufous

          Street is narrow and this will see an increase in both delivery vehicles and parking from users of the proposed site. This
          again will increase the safety risk to families with young children and will increase the risk to both pedestrians of
          Woodland Drive, access to the Tennis Club, Veggie Village and the Community Kindergarten.
     3.   Environment Issues   -
                                 the noise pollution, dust pollution and chemicals use from such a proposed development is not in
          keeping with the current environmentally sensitive use of the area. Peregian Beach Community House is used for
          peaceful activities such as yoga and meditation practice as well as supporting local community groups with quiet and
          mindful discussion and tutoring. The Di Hurst Oval is favoured by local families for off-leash dog walking and games.
          The Veggie Village is a community garden growing vegetables, herbs and fruits and hosting small social gathering for
          members and the wider community.


           The increased drainage and run-off from such a development is not in keeping with the existing use of the
          environment and the current water use for Veggie Village. There is also a serious concern over the level of hazardous
          chemicals that will be used in the cleaning and maintenance of such a retail space and proposed car parking.


          Yours faithfully,
                                 ~                -   -
