                     It is important to reiterate the written advice to the pre-lodgement meeting
                     held on 14 December 2016 (between Council and the developer):

                               The Open Space Recreation zone in Peregian Beach specifically seeks
                               to protect and retain the site for low cost visitor accommodation needs
                               reflective of the site’s previous use as a caravan park, but also
                               acknowledges that a range of visitor accommodation may be provided
                               where integrated with budget accommodation. There is no support
                               given to permanent residents on the site.

                               It is noted that the current approval included only visitor
                               accommodation, with no permanent resident accommodation
                               proposed. This approved development was supported by Council
                               through an appeal process as it was acknowledged that it included low
                               to mid cost visitor accommodation being a reasonable alternative to the
                               Planning Scheme’s intent to retain the caravan park.

                               It is considered the current proposal does not meet the Planning
                               Scheme’s intent for the site as there is a lack of and a limited range of
                               visitor accommodation proposed…….

                     The DA is in significant conflict with this advice.

                     The DA proposal is for:
                     Multiple Housing of 3 types – 88 Beds (or 176 Persons)
                     They are all proposed for PERMANENT RESIDENTS.
                           The Kamala & Marram Houses (in the centre of the ring road) There
                           are 11 of these with 3 bedrooms each capable of being occupied by 2
                           persons. (66 persons). Carparking is 9x2. Estimated price $825K

                               The Wallum Units (along Rufous Lane). There are 5 of these with 3
                               bedrooms each capable of being occupied by 2 persons. (30 persons).
                               Carparking is 5x3 and 2x2. Estimated price $725-800K

                               Reed Beach Houses (behind the Hotel) – There are 10 of these with 4
                               bedrooms upstairs each capable of being occupied by 2 persons and
                               living down. (80 persons). Carparking is 10x3. These units will be
                               approximately 6m below the Hotel level. Estimated price $850K.

                          The prices outlined are those advised to the PBCA at a meeting with
                          the developer on 6 April 2017.
                     Essence Hotel & Conference Centre – 40 beds (or 80 Persons)
                          The developer proposes to develop and run the hotel with 20 visitor
                          accommodation rooms and 12 apartments (4 x 1 bedroom and 8 x 2
                          bedroom) which are described as “multiple and visitor”. (80 persons).
                          The 12 apartments are proposed for PERMANENT RESIDENTS.
                          The Hotel will apparently employ 15 people (full-time and part-time)
                          including conference facilitators. The Conference room is small and
                          apparently will seat 40. There are 40 car parks proposed with all except
                          3 (Visitor parking?) under the Hotel and behind a security gate.
