Postal Address of land: 5-7 Rufous St Peregian Beach 4573 Lot 94 SP 137431
Nature of Proposed Development Permit for Material Change of Use of
Premises (Entertainment and dining Type 1 Food & beverages, Commercial
Type 1 Office & retail business Type 2 Shop & Salon)
We wish to make a submission on the referenced development application:
We strongly object to this Development Application because it does not meet
the requirements of the Noosa Plan 2006 for Open Space Recreation and in fact
the proposed commercial & retail uses, contravenes its intent.
Planning The precinct which surrounds this Rufous St site is the only slice of
Open Space Recreation land that’s possible in Peregian Beach, given its unique
setting between Ocean and National Park. It is essential that this site remain as
Open Space Recreation for today’s users and future needs of our changing
demographic, whether it’s allocated for bowls, bocci, hockey, beach volleyball,
sensory gardens, bike trail, Bridge or maintained as open space for cricket, dog
walking, athletics and spontaneous community events & activities. The Material
Change of Use on this site would mean the loss of Open Space Recreation
forever, grossly disadvantaging the Peregian Beach community in an
environment already identified by SCC Planners & community, as
’under-provided ’.
Traffic The potential impacts of increased traffic along David Low Way,
Woodland Dr and feeder Sts including Rufous St. If you have ever tried to get out
of Woodland Drive onto David Low Way at busy times, you would know that it is
very busy and only one car can use the middle ’traffic island’ at one time. You
also currently have people doing u-turns to go both north and south, which adds
to the delay and precarious situation.
It will have a detrimental effect on all those who live, work and play in this
immediate area and especially the safety of those who use it as a pathway to

school, catch buses, play tennis or attend coaching classes, train for athletic
events of simply enjoy running for health, even walking the dog. Increased traffic
noise and activity must have an impact on the survival of the ground parrots,
identified as vulnerable by National Parks, which can be heard at dawn and dusk
from Woodland Dr and its feeder streets.
Economic Retail shops in Peregian Beach have a changing face. The success
of some businesses and not others is more to do with identifying and then
meeting local needs which go far beyond the contents of their particular store.
Successful local shopkeepers provide day-to-day needs for most residents and
visitors and in many cases weekly needs. The emphasis here is on low key,
casual shopping in an environment that’s green and ambient. The community
likes quality product, personal service and convenience provided by the local
shopkeepers and really value the unique village feel, friendliness and connectivity
around the Village Square.
Three large Supermarkets exist within 7 mins drive and four more within 15mins
of town should such shopping be required -
we DON’T need any more! There’s
no need or justification for this proposed Development, particularly at the
expense of the only Open Space Recreation land. 4Square & Essence will meet
local requirements into the future!
Environment This proposed development would substantially denigrate the
existing residential amenity for nearby local residents &andusers of Woodland Dr,
David Low Way, Cormorant, Tern, Rufous and Gannet Sts. It would also have a
detrimental impact on existing PB Kindergarten, Tennis Courts, Veggie Village,
Co-Op, Di Hurst Oval and Peregian Beach Community House, clients and
community groups. The additional noise, congestion, traffic and light pollution is
not acceptable to those who made the choice to live in this quiet environment.
The planned impact on Rufous St with increased car parking, the operation of
commercial plant and equipment, refrigeration and air conditioning units, large
delivery trucks regularly trucking through town and on to site on top of the
estimated domestic and commercial vehicular traffic is an unacceptable burden
on this site so close to wetland habitat and the Noosa National Park Lake Weyba
section.
In short, this proposed development will adversely affect the logistics and
character of the community in which we live.
