      (j)  Specific Outcome 14.13 Effects of Use:        Uses are of a
commercial or retail nature ordinarily expected within a town or village
centre.

Comment:
The proposal is for such uses, however, as previously mentioned there is no
suitably zoned land within the existing village centre to accommodate a
supermarket and/or enable the establishment of speciality shops sought by
local traders.

It is also noted that the language refers to ‘ordinarily’ (It could be interpreted
that the word ‘ordinarily’ could be replaced by ‘generally’) and not
‘exclusively’, and as such it is possible that this is in recognition of the need to
allow for the changing retail needs/trends throughout local communities.

Comment:

        (a)    The site is not located within an existing business centre,
neighbourhood centre or village centre.
It is not possible for the development to be located in Peregian Beach’s
Neighbourhood Centre due to the absence of any available suitably zoned
land or premises. Further there is no other suitably zoned land to
accommodate a contemporary Supermarket at Peregian Beach – refer also
to the “Needs Assessment” report Summary by Foresight Partners Pty Ltd
(February 2013).
