1.0       INTRODUCTION
This Town Planning Report has been prepared for the applicant, the Multi
Span Australia Group. The report is submitted to the Sunshine Coast Council
as part of the common material for an application that seeks a
Development Permit for a Material Change of Use for an integrated
development comprising a ‘Commercial business Type 1 Office’ and
‘Entertainment and dining business Type 1 Food & beverages’ and ‘Retail
Business Type 2 Shop & Salon’. Specifically, the applicant seeks to construct
an integrated IGA Supermarket and Speciality Shops complex on Lot 94 SP
137431 Rufous Street Peregian Beach. The application is impact assessable.

The land is located within the 2009-2031SEQ Regional Plan’s Urban Foot-print.
Furthermore, the land is located within the Eastern Beaches Locality of The
Noosa Plan and the site is included in the Open Space Recreation zone with
Lot 95 located in the Community Services zone.

Under the SPA regime, the proposal requires impact assessment.

This town planning report comprises the following Sections:
Section E.S Executive Summary
Section 1.0 Introduction
Section 2.0 Proposed Supermarket and Shops Development
Section 3.0 Site Description Details
Section 4.0 The IGA Supermarket Story
Section 5.0 Peregian Beach – Past, Present and Potential Future
Section 6.0 Peregian Beach’s Neighbourhood Village Centre (Square) –
              Role and Function
Section 7.0 Relevant Town Planning Legislation
Section 8.0 Community Survey
Section 9.0 Summary
Section 10.0 Conclusion

Whilst the proposal is in conflict with the intent for the Open Space
Recreation zone and parts of the Eastern Beaches Locality Plan, this Town
Planning assessment concludes that, by and large, the anticipated impacts
of the proposal are, on balance, positive and beneficial to the wider
community given that the level of conflict is considered to be of a relatively
low order. Further, the proposal is not considered to undermine the intent of
the Desired Environmental Outcomes (DEO’s).

It is considered that there are sufficient grounds to enable the proposed
development to be supported given:

      •    the life of the Noosa Plan since the last full review resulting in sections
           of the Eastern Beaches Locality Plan no longer applying,
