arrange of local retail and commercial functions’ occur, particularly given
the proposed closure of the Friendly Grocer and its re-development into
more of a dining and entertainment facility, the general lack of choice and
supply of certain convenience products, and the responses from the
participants in the recent Community Survey.

(b) It is generally accepted that convenience (Supermarket) shopping is
undertaken at Coolum, Peregian Springs or elsewhere out of Peregian
Beach. The Needs Assessment Report by Foresight Partners Pty Ltd predicts

Amenity O1                                 Comments: the existing amenity is
                                           influenced by the mixed character of
                                           the locality and the volume of traffic
                                           and its impacts on the David Low
                                           Way. The prevailing amenity of the
                                           land is of an abandoned Bowls Club
                                           and a community car park which
                                           warrants upgrading.

                                    It is proposed to enhance the
                                    amenity     of    the    locality   with
                                    introduced landscaping, and an
                                    architecturally designed complex
                                    which will reflect the desirable casual

                                    characteristic of the locality and
