File No:                                  MCU13/0092

Name of Applicant:              Multispan Australia

Postal Address of Land:     5-7 Rufus Street, Peregian Beach

Proposal:                               Integrated Shopping Complex Development

 

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

 

I 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).

 

The development will adversely affect the consistent land and community use of the current tennis courts, Community house, kindergarten, Veggie Village, Di Hurst Oval and will also destroy the comfort and amenity for surrounding residents. Additionally and importantly it precludes the return of any lawn bowls facility.

 

The Sunshine Coast Council Open Space Strategy 2011 identifies that “Peregian Beach locality area is generally underprovided for with recreation parks” (2011:35) and I object to the loss to commercial development

of this recreational land for the current and future residents of Peregian beach and the wider catchment area. 

 

 

I object further to the splitting of the commercial area/s of Peregian Beach to either side of the highway. The Peregian Square is a vibrant meeting place centralised as it is in the green and shady heart of Peregian. Pedestrian access at the moment is easy and short. 

 

I object to the loss of the amenity of the Community House if part of the car park is used by shoppers at the new shopping hub, and also if a proposed roundabout is built at the David Low corner to allow access to any shopping development.

 

Classes currently held in the CH and the kindergarten will be affected by noise and extra traffic.

Residents in surrounding streets will be adversely affected by deliveries after hours and rubbish removals, extra security lighting, and potential nuisance.

 

There is still the possibility of a bowls club being re established at Peregian. While there is space, there is hope.

 

There is no economic benefit to Peregian or the existing shopkeepers. Presently residents can shop locally or travel to Peregian Springs to the supermarket or to Noosa Junction for goods unavailable at Peregian.
