Mr Patrick Murphy,
The Assessment Officer,
Noosa Shire Council
[email protected]

Dear Mr Murphy,

        Objection to the Scanlon Group Development Application
                215-219 David Low Way, Peregian Beach
                       MCU 16/0153 & REC16/0041

I have owned property in Peregian Beach since 1990 and am a permanent
resident and an active member of the local community.

I object strongly to this development application (DA).

My primary objection is on the grounds that the DA fails on numerous counts
to meet the requirements for Open Space Recreation set out in the Noosa
Plan, the Eastern Beaches Locality Code and the specific requirements for
this site. The community has a reasonable expectation that the Noosa Plan
will be substantially adhered to and there are no compelling reasons put
forward in the application that would warrant this expectation being
compromised.

Further to the above, I note the following:

   -   The development seeks to provide predominantly small lot, high
       density housing, but with relatively large homes, potentially priced
       above the average price for Peregian Beach. This type of
       accommodation is completely out of character with the local
       environment.
   -   The proposed visitor accommodation is a small proportion of the total
       development and is staged subsequent to the housing. It is unlikely
       that it will be low cost.
   -   Traffic congestion on the David Low Way has increased materially
       since the IGA was opened on the site. A major cause of this is the flow
       of pedestrians between Peregian Beach Village and the development.
       If the development was to proceed, the resulting heavy traffic
       congestion would cause a significant reduction in amenity in the village
       and an accident black spot.

   -   The very high volume of imported fill material proposed would cause
       major environmental problems during construction, including numerous
       heavy vehicle trips over an extended period, noise, dust and ingress of
       contaminants into the Noosa National Park.
   -   The proposal appears to ignore or dismiss a number of important
       ecological and associated issues, including the existing established
       watercourse that traverses the site, impacts on flora and fauna,
       flooding to the National Park due to storm water run-off from the high
       proportion of impermeable areas, obstruction of vistas and noise
       impacts.

This proposal conflicts with the community values of those who have chosen
to live in this very special location. Instead, it seeks to create undesirable high
density permanent housing and an urban lifestyle that is entirely at odds with
Peregian Beach’s character and aesthetic.

I urge Noosa Council to continue to protect and retain the village of Peregian
Beach, to uphold the intent of the Noosa Town Plan and to refuse this
Development Application.

Your sincerely




Nigel Robinson
