           •   “The proposal results in economic and community benefit overall and
               would go so far as to hold that the “need” satisfied is “overwhelming”.

    The potential conversion of the privately owned Open Space Recreation
    zoned Lot 94 to a commercial purpose usage is not a change unique to
    Peregian Beach. The Horton Park Golf Course is but one similar local
    example. No doubt there will be concern expressed, and undeniably
    objections lodged by some locals, however, it may well be that the
    concerns expressed by Peter Sharpe in his book “Up Rose an Emu” do
    have some validity, and the majority of the community may foresee the
    longer term community and economic benefits of the proposed IGA
    complex..
