          I wish to make a submission on the referenced development application as       0 ows:

          I and my family strongly object to the rezoning for commercial use of our
                                                                                    precious recreational
          space in Rufous Street on the Old Bowling Club site.


          1. Your Sunshine Coast Council in its open Space Strategy only two
                                                                             yearsago in 2011 wrote
          "

           Peregian Beach locality area is generally under provided for with recreational parks."
          To ratify the necessity to at least keep this are as an Open Space Recreation area this area was
          included in the 1906 Noosa Plan and in the 1912 Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme as an Open
          Space Recreation area.    Therefore it is going against well thought out planning within the near past
          to sacrifice this space for not needed and not wanted commercial use.


          2. I have been a resident of Cormorant Crescent {39} Peregian Beach for over 20
                                                                                          years
          entering David Low Way by Woodland Drive There is no other exit into David Low Way from
          this whole area except by Woodland Drive. This is the only exit for everyone in this
                                                                                                 group of
          roads including Rufus St. I sometimes wait for over five minutes to get out of Woodland Drive
          because of the density of traffic on the main road. The traffic situation would become


          3. The residential streets in this area are full of young families with school children getting off the
          bus and walking home, children skateboarding, playing games, taking dogs for walks, wheeling
          dolls prams all on the roads as their play areas. It is a family area and the children as well as
          mums   change their books at the Library Bus which parks outside the Community Centre in
          Woodland Drive     on Monday afternoons. This would be destroyed by the heavy commercial traffic

          pounding the entrance to this beautifully quiet residential area with its safe young families. The
I:        risks to these children and their family homes would be vastly increased were this submission
          passed by the Council.

          4. The   area   in the Woodland Drive, Cormorant Crescent and adjoining streets inclusing Rufous
          Street is a particularly community centred area. In Rufous Road is the Kindergarten where
          little children now are safely picked up and delivered by parents in a quiet dead end street. Tennis
          courts have their entrance from Rufous Street and again young children and older children are

          regular clients at this quiet safe place for learning tennis. All this would be destroyed. The
          wonderful Perigean Vegie Village runs along the little wild creek abutting Rufous Street and has
          its entry from that street. Here families gather to develop their vege patches, have barbeques and
          other gatherings, This whole enterprise would be disastrously effected by the delivery vehicles and
          all the disturbance of an unwanted shopping centre. The fine Di Hurst Oval has its entry from
          Rufous St This magnificent oval is used for practice sports, as a quiet walking place and the tables
                     .




          and seats are used as picnic places for young families and older citizens. The Perigean Community
          Centre is on the comer of David Low Way and Woodland Drive citizens of all ages are welcome
          with courses, advice and a variety of activities. The Sunshine Coast Mobile Library parks in
          Woodland Drive outside the Community Centre every Monday from 1-5 pm. A continual stream
          of adults old and young and families after school or with pre school children pour in and out of
