Dear Mr Murphy,
Submission in opposition to the Development Application
MCU 16/0153 & REC16/0041
EFFECTIVE PLANNING POINTS THAT DEFEND THE INTREGRITY OF THE NOOSA
PLAN
I strongly object to the inclusion of the housing estate in this proposal, but in particular, the lack
of visitor accommodation being provided as required by the Noosa Plan.
The proposed development significantly conflicts with the Noosa Plan for the following reasons:
The proposed development being located within the Open Space Recreation Zone does not
contribute to the desired lifestyle of residents because it does not offer a variety of passive and
active recreational experiences that are conducive to community interaction and wellbeing;

The proposed development seeks to provide a small lot housing development and, in
particular, Multiple Housing Type 4 – Conventional which is not a consistent use in the Open
Space Recreation Zone;
The proposed development seeks to provide Visitor Accommodation Type 4, but not in
association with Visitor Accommodation Type 2, and therefore is not consistent with the Open
Space Recreation Zone;
The proposed application appears to reflect an incorrect site cover percentage where some
structures have not been included in the calculation. An example of this is the stair and entry for
the Reed Beach Houses (refer pages SD12 and SD23). This is a clear omission and indicates that
either the developer is seeking to misrepresent the proposed site cover or they have been
inaccurate in their calculations by error. In either case the Noosa Council has an absolute duty to
reject the application until all inaccuracies have been identified and included in the Council’s
deliberations on whether this DA should be accepted.
The proposed development does not protect the Peregian Beach caravan park site for low cost
visitor accommodation;
Visitor Accommodation Type 4 is being proposed on the land, but is not integrated as part of a
caravan park use or other form of budget accommodation;
The proposed buildings and structures are not designed and sited to be attractive, comfortable
and accessible to the public or provide suitable landscape treatments and amenities, conducive to
community interaction and convenience and public safety;
The proposed development is not consistent withthe reasonable expectations of residents in the
locality, given the Peregian Beach Caravan site is to primarily provide for budget visitor
accommodation, which is in the public interest;
The Proposed development does not in any way conform to the written advice, cited below,
from the Council to the developer prior to the pre-lodgment 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
permanentresident 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 Noosa Council has correctly performed, as reflected in the cited correspondence above, its
role as custodian of what was formerly publicly (ratepayer) owned land by informing the
developer that the DA proposal does not comply with the requirements requested by the Council
in regard to provision of low cost, non-permanent accommodation. For Noosa Council to now
allow the development application would be a failure of its duty to the Noosa ratepayers.
There are no grounds provided that are sufficient to overcome the level of conflict identified
with the Noosa Plan.
The proposed development application should be refused for the above reasons.
