             7.8.2 j) Vegetated views from the beach and the David Low Way are protected from the potential impacts of
             development;

                       I believe the proposed development will obscure the view from David Low Way to the west to the
                        National park, substantially increasing the developed view from the road, compared to current state.
                        Blocking off the view from the national park to the west from this section of David Low Way. Note the
                        current view from David Low way (image below on left), and the architectural drawing from the
                        application MCU12/0092 Part 4 of 10, page 19 (image below on right).

             7.8.2 p For Peregian Beach iii a wide range of local Retail, Commercial and Entertainment and Dining Uses
             within the neighbourhood centre

                       As outlined in the letter from the Sunshine Coast Council on 18th April, in relation to Second
                        Neighbourhood Centre. I believe that the proposed development will not support the intent of keeping
                        the Peregian Square as the focal point of the community. I believe based on the mix of specialty shops
                        outlined in the letter on 1st August, 2013 from DFS Group, in section E.S 4, that the development will
                        result in the focal point of the community moving from the existing Peregian Square to the proposed
                        new development, especially if key services such as the Post Office, Pharmacy, Newsagency either
                        relocate or are duplicated.
                       I note that the council has previously written to the applicant on 18th June 2013, and I am in agreement
                        with the sentiments expressed by the council, in particular with its finding that the area is under
                        provided in terms of recreation parks and for open space recreation / community uses.
                       I disagree with the response of the applicant on 1st August 2013, on a number of basis;
                         In the letter sections E.S 6, they state “It would be reasonable to conclude that the Eastern Beaches
                             Locality Plan and Code are no longer applicable.....” they go on to cite examples of local
                             developments as justification for their exclusion from local planning laws. Previous development
                             applications in the immediate area should not invalidate existing Plans and Codes, and that each
                             application must be assessed on its own merits. Approving this application for change to the zone
                             would be a significant negative impact to the local community due to its detrimental effect on local
                             area character.
                         Note in ES.7 the applicant asserts that the “local convenience shopping facilities are limited”. In my
                             opinion, the local area is well serviced for the population with facilities, with Coolum and Peregian
                             Springs facilities close by supplement existing facilities, also noting that in “The Noosa Plan”
                             including amends to 8 August 2011, it states with reference to the servicing the area “Improved
                             access to Noosaville and Tewantin is intended with the extension of the Eenie Creek Road across
                             Weyba Creek to David Low Way”. This development (MCU13/0092) will materially change in my
