Dear Sir/Madam,


I write in relation to the MCU 12/0023 for the site at 215-219 David Low Way, Pereglan Beach.


My family and I have lived locally and operated a business in the Peregian Village for over 30
years. Peregian Beach has steadily developed into a thriving and unique village precinct
and has become one of the Sunshine Coast’s most sought after locations for both residents
to live and work, as well as a tourist destination for both local and international visitors. Like
most of the Sunshine Coast. a big part of Peregian’s economy is tourism based, where

people come and enjoy all that the village has to offer and spend their disposable income.

Considering our climate is one of the major drawcards to bring visitors to our region, it should
be considered that outdoor dining at restaurants and a small balcony off each of the
accommodation rooms would be a minimum expectation of people staying and dining in
this precinct. Both of the these changes are in keeping with today’s demands from people

wanting to stay in Peregian, as they expect to be able to enjoy the weather and ambience
of Peregian in an outdoor setting. The Essence project can only enhance our offering to
attract visitors and will be a real boost to tourism in our area, whilst also providing much
needed jobs for our local community.


Therefore, I have no objection to either of these changes and wish to submit my support for
the Sunshine Coast Regional Council to approve this MCU application as soon as possible.


Yours faithfully,
