PM Submission Object - Marian McCarter MCU16/0153 & REC16/0041

PLEASE SEND IN SUBMISSIONS TO COUNCIL PRIOR TO THE FINAL DATE OF 26TH APRIL 2017

   •   The proposed development is not consistent with the reasonable expectations of
       residents in the locality, given the Peregian Beach Caravan site is to primarily
       provide for budget visitor accommodation, which is in the public interest;

   •   The Proposed development does not in any way conform to the written advice,
       cited below, from the Council to the developer prior to the pre-lodgment
       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 Noosa Council has correctly performed, as reflected in the cited
       correspondence above, its role as custodian of what was formerly publicly
       (ratepayer) owned land by informing the developer that the DA proposal does
       not comply with the requirements requested by the Council in regard to
       provision of low cost, non-permanent accommodation. For Noosa Council to now
       allow the development application would be a failure of its duty to the Noosa
       ratepayers.

   •   There are no grounds provided that are sufficient to overcome the level of
       conflict identified with the Noosa Plan.

The proposed development application should be refused for the above reasons.
