Proposal: Integrated shopping complex development

I wish to make a submission on the referenced development application, as follows:


         1_ 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, and 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.



I object further based on the simple concept of economic supply; in that we in the Peregian Beach community are

more than  adequately supplied by way supply of retail goods and services infrastructure options, yet inadequately
supplied with open space / recreational services.

Specifically with regard supply of retail goods & services the peregian Beach cOmmunity is if anything oversuppii O by
way of existing retail goods and services infrastructure all within close proximity:


     .   The existing Peregian Beach Village (less than 300 metres away from the proposed development) offers a
         convenience store, bakery, pharmacy, fruit & vegetable, cafes & food takeaways, hardware, pizza delivery, 3
                                                                         .




         bottle shops / liquor, newsagency and post office.
     .   Peregian Springs Shopping Centre (4.1 km or 6 minutes’ drive away from the proposed development) also
         offers a large supermarket, pharmacy, bakery, butcher, bottle shop and takeaway food options.
     .   Coolum Birtwill Street Shopping Strip (6.2kms or 8 minutes’ drive away from the proposed development)
         offers a supermarket, newsagency, pharmacy, bakery, butcher, banks, discount dollar store, takeaways and
         cafes
     .   Coolum Park Shopping Centre (8.6kms or 13 minutes away from the proposed development) also offers a

         major supermarket, bakery, pharmacy, butchers, newsagency, bottle shop etc.
     .     Noosa Junction Shopping Strip (10.8 kms or 14 minutes away from the proposed development) again offers a

         large supermarket, butchers, bakery, fish monger, pharmacy, and newsagency etc.

In comparison the supply of open recreation / space in Peregian Beach if the current site is developed will be
                                                                                                                 direct~
reduced leaving greatly reduced supply of this zoned space in Peregian with no new Space options available due to the

geographic nature of the area being hemmed in by national park.


I urge the council to reject this development proposal based on economic and social principles outlined above.

                                                                                                  SCC CORRESPONDENCE
