Dear Mr Murphy,


Objection to the Scanlon Group Development Application

215-219 David Low Way, Peregian Beach

MCU 16/0153 & REC16/0041

I object to the proposed Development Application on the following grounds:

Points of Concern for Submission Writing – Scanlon Development Proposal

1)Material Change of use Application contravenes the Noosa Town Plan & will destroy our
point of difference & the attraction of our village to holiday makers & shoppers. The
Caravan Park amenity that was the real essence of Peregian village, will be replaced by
urban density with scarce landscaping.

2)No Compliance with Noosa Council requirements with majority of the accommodation
proposed for Permanent Housing. Priced from $725,000 to $850,000, this proposal hardly
provides low cost visitor accommodation for the growing needs of the local community.
Peregian Beach is already surrounded by new small lot housing developments that lack
public amenity, open space & village lifestyle.

3)Setbacks in general & to the Rufous laneway in particular, impinge on Noosa’s Master Plan
for Rufous St renewal which is currently in progress, community amenity values & the
extensive community consultation process intended to activate the Bush to Beach pathway
upgrade & encourage increased usage.

4)The Development’s impact on the creek & wetland, both during construction & upon
completion is of great concern, as is the planned density of housing in this ecologically
sensitive reserve & adjacent National Park. Some 25,000 cubic metres of imported fill will
be required, giving rise to 150 trips per day for at least 3 months. This means one heavy
vehicle axle load every 3-4 minutes along David Low way, down Sandpiper Lane, through the
IGA carpark & then back out via the Heron St roundabout.
