PM Submission Object - Michael Jones MCU16/0153 & REC16/0041

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


                     I agree with the comment in the Information Request at page 12 of 13 “the
                     limited range of visitor accommodation proposed in conjunction with the
                     primary use of the site for permanent residential living remains a significant
                     concern.”

                     This concern is increased by the fact that the commercial building, which the
                     developer replaced with the IGA supermarket, provided for visitor
                     accommodation. Now this DA provides for less visitor accommodation on the
                     entire site than was originally sanctioned by the Planning and Environment
                     Court approval of 12 February 2010.

                     I have serious concerns about the density, site cover, gross floor area,
                     planting area and plot ratio having regard to the limitations in the Specific
                     Outcomes for the Eastern Beaches Locality (Semi-Attached Housing Zone).
                     These calculations should be based on a site area which excludes the land
                     dedication included in the Court Order approval (Appeal 25847 of 2008)
                     but which does not exclude the land associated with the Shopping Centre
                     approval.

                     4. Staging
                     The Sprout Architects Staging Plan shows that the developer proposes:-
                     Stage 1 = Multiple Housing of 3 types
                     Stage 2 = Hotel/Motel

                     Given, the location of Stage 1 in a swampy area overlooking wetlands, at least 6
                     metres below and behind the Peregian Beach Hotel to the east and the IGA
                     supermarket to the south, the developer’s suggested marketing of these houses
                     at $725,000 to $800,000 must raise real doubts as to whether or not any of these
                     houses will be built. This is especially the case if the developer requires a 60
                     percent pre-commitment before commencing construction. Council, of course,
                     could not consider the proposed pricing of these houses as low cost or budget
                     accommodation. While this is the developer’s risk, it has a bearing on the
                     completion of the proposed Stage 2 with the visitor accommodation.

                     Therefore, the completion of Stage 2, which contains the developer’s limited
                     commitment to visitor accommodation must be seriously doubted.

                     I ask that Council consider the sincerity of the developer in providing visitor
                     accommodation when it is left to Stage 2 and the developer’s record to date of
                     having built no visitor accommodation since 2009.

                     5. Disruption to Peregian Village and surrounding areas during
                     construction if this DA is approved
                     5.1 Engineering Services Report – Page 5 in Response 2B states:-

                     “There will be earthworks required to facilitate construction of storm water
                     treatment facilities, sanitary drainage and allow for an aesthetically pleasing and



                                                                                                       4
