                     5.4 Summary

                     Despite the DA acknowledging all of these areas where the DA does not
                     comply with the Noosa Plan, it does not provide sufficient grounds in
                     the public interest to warrant the Noosa Plan being overridden and,
                     therefore, the DA should be refused.

                     PBCAI is concerned that Council staff have suggested that the proposed
                     development should be “compatible to …..Eastern Beaches Locality Semi-
                     Attached Housing Zone…..” (Issue 34 of the Information Request) given that
                     the site is Open Space Recreation.

                     PBCAI has serious concerns about the density, site cover, gross floor area,
                     planting area and plot ratio having regard to the limitations in the Specific
                     Outcomes for the Eastern Beaches Locality (Semi-Attached Housing Zone).
                     These calculations should be based on a site area which excludes the land
                     dedication included in the Court Order approval (Appeal 25847 of 2008) but
                     which does not exclude the land associated with the Shopping Centre
                     approval.


                     6. Changes to the natural drainage and disturbance of the
                     wetland system
                     6.1 Established Creeks
                     The site is affected by two established creeks. The first creek commences at
                     a spring between Veggie Village and Rufous Street at Peregian Beach and
                     flows to the north western corner of this site. The second commences in the
                     wetlands and flows along the western boundary of the Di Hirst Oval, down the
                     southern boundary and joins the first creek at the north western corner of this
                     site16. The creeks then flow across the site from North to South and continue
                     through the Noosa National Park Peregian Section until they eventually flow
                     into Stummers Creek at Coolum.

                     6.2 Lack of proper consideration in the DA
                     The DA not only ignores the creek and proposes to build over it but it also
                     removes trees for a path at the Rufous Lane boundary as shown on the
                     following diagram:




                     the Sunshine Coast, 37% greater than the Gold Coast and 22% greater than
                     the median for the Brisbane LGA”

                     16 This creek is shown on the Vegetation Management Supporting Map

                     published by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines
                     2017. The creek from Rufous Street is shorter and is not shown.
