     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.
