                 could have seen the creation of green space/parkland to embellish the
                 precinct for visitors & local community with potential to make genuine
                 connections between Rufous St /laneway with this development. Instead,
                 it separates itself from the village feel, in fact opposes the local
                 residential community & village activities associated with the function
                 & interaction of Veggie Village, Tennis Club, Kindergarten & Community
                 House, all nearby neighbours of the planned development.
                 This proposal conflicts with community values, endorsed by all who
                 reside & those who choose this relaxed pedestrian location, where
                 thongs, even bare feet are the norm. It delivers instead, undesirable
                 urban density & city lifestyle that’s aesthetically at odds with
                 Peregian’s much sought after open space linkages, relaxed village
                 character & community engagement.
                 I urge Noosa Council to protect & retain the village of Peregian Beach,
                 to stand strong behind the intent of the Noosa Town Plan & refuse this
                 Development Application.

                 Dear Mr Murphy,
                 File No MCU 16/153 REC 16/0041

                      Proposed Development Multiple Housing-Type 4, Visitor Accomodation
                 Objection to the Scanlon Group Development Proposal
                 1) This Material Change of use Application contravenes the Noosa Town
                 Plan & will destroy Peregian’s point of difference & the attraction of
                 our village for residents, holiday makers & shoppers. The Caravan Park
                 amenity, that was the real ‘essence’ of Peregian village, will be
                 replaced by urban density with scarce landscaping to soften the
                 architectural bulk & concrete structures.
                 2) There’s No Compliance with Noosa Council requirements with the
                 majority of the accommodation proposed for Permanent Housing. Priced
                 from $725,000 to $850,000, this proposal hardly provides low cost
                 visitor accommodation for the needs of this community nor the wider
                 Noosa Shire. Peregian Beach has already been adversely impacted by
                 nearby ‘new’ small lot housing developments that lack public amenity,
                 open space & village lifestyle. Low cost accommodation for campers & RVs
                 would be an acceptable community solution, celebrating the open space &
                 providing a beach holiday experience for all.
                 3) Setbacks in general & to the Rufous laneway in particular, impinge on
                 Noosa’s Master Plan for Rufous St Renewal which is currently in
