A Submission in Objection to the Proposed Commercial Development in the Open Space Recreation zoned area of Peregian Beach

To 	The Chief Executive Officer
Sunshine Coast Council
Locked Bag 72
Sunshine Coast Mail Centre, QLD 4560

File No:  MCU13/0092
Name of Applicant: Multispan Australia
Postal Address of Land:  5-7 Rufous street, Peregian Beach.
Proposal:  Integrated shopping complex development

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

I/We 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).

This development will adversely affect the consistent land and community use of the current Tennis Courts, Community House, Kindergarten, Veggie Village and Di Hurst Oval and surrounding residents.

The SunshIne Coast Council Open Space Strategy 2011 identifies that “Peregian Beach locality area is generally under provided for with recreational parks”(2011:35) and we object to loss of this recreational land for the current and future residents of Peregian Beach and wider catchment to commercial development.

Please include any additional points of argument regarding details the development application / currently planning regulations and/or your personal experience of how this will affect you, your family and the community.

I/We object further on the grounds that:

The Peregian Beach community, shopkeepers and residents, all support each other in their endeavours
to maintain the unique character of Peregian Beach Village. It’s what we value, and why we live here.

This proposed development is so wrong for Peregian Beach Village.

The idea that a developer can try and steamroll the change of zoning from Open Space/ Recreation
to Commercial Development is seriously alarming. What is the point of the Noosa Plan 2006, and the
Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme, if they are to be so readily dismissed for commercial profit?

I urge the Sunshine Coast Regional Council to reject, and continue rejecting, this proposal in all its forms.

Thank you
