                     The Assessment Officer,
                     Noosa Shire Council
                     [email protected]

                     Att. Mr Patrick Murphy,

                                   Submission re Scanlon Group Development Application
                                         215-219 David Low Way, Peregian Beach
                                                MCU 16/0153 & REC16/0041

                     I write on behalf of the Peregian Beach Community Association Inc (PBCAI)
                     objecting to the approval of the above development application (DA).

                     Our grounds include the following:

                          -    The site is zoned Open Space Recreation and there are no current
                               consistent uses other than as a caravan park and associated visitor
                               accommodation.1 The Open Space Recreation zoning limits the
                               developer’s options to those available in the Noosa Plan.
                          -    It is essential that the open space recreation zoning of the site under
                               the Noosa Plan is adhered to and that only limited short term VISITOR
                               accommodation be permitted.

                     Nonetheless, as the DA seeks to pursue development as though the previous
                     approval had not lapsed, PBCAI has considered the DA and raises the following
                     additional objections:
                        - Construction issues: the extensive earthworks will necessitate mass
                            importation of fill material with major adverse traffic and environmental
                            impacts.
                        - Traffic impacts: the additional traffic and the restricted access and
                            egress to the development will significantly aggravate existing traffic
                            congestion and safety issues and negatively impact the amenity of
                            Peregian village.
                        - The development will result in changes to the natural drainage and
                            disturbance of the wetland system contrary to the Noosa Plan.
                        - Services, ecology, water and noise issues.
                        - Significant Non-compliance with Council requirements: density, site
                            cover, gross floor area and building heights are all excessive.




                          -    1 The approval of 12 February 2010 lapsed on 28 September 2016 and on

                               16 March 2017 Noosa Council refused an application to extend it.
