                     Essence Hotel/(Motel) & Conference Centre – 40 beds
                           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”. (40 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. 40 Car parks are proposed with all bar 3 (Visitor
                           parking?) under the Hotel and behind a security gate.

                     3. Lack of compliance with the Noosa Plan

                     PBCAI’s Objection to the DA is firstly based on its lack of compliance with the
                     Noosa Plan Open Space Recreation zone requirements. PBCAI specifically seeks
                     to protect and retain the site for low cost visitor accommodation reflective of the
                     site’s previous use as a caravan park.

                     The Noosa Plan resulted from a community consultation process and was
                     subsequently approved by the State Government. It should not lightly be ignored
                     by a developer being granted an approval which significantly conflicts with the
                     Plan.

                     In addition here, in order to obtain the Council’s previous approval, although it
                     should be stated that no attempt was made to get community approval, this same
                     developer agreed with conditions which kept the then proposed development in
                     compliance with the Town Plan (See above). Now that developer, six years later
                     and having done nothing with the approval, proposes another development in
                     conflict with the Noosa Plan. Once again the developer wants to change the rules
                     for its financial benefit and not for the benefit of the Peregian Beach community.

                     This DA proposes only 20 visitor beds in the Hotel/Motel. It does propose a
                     further 12 apartments designated as “multiple and visitor” which the developer
                     proposes to make available for permanent residents although whether this on a
                     lease or sale basis is unknown. All of the 88 beds in the Multiple Housing are
                     proposed to be for permanent residents contrary to the Noosa Plan and the
                     previous, now lapsed, approval.
