                     We note that the traffic report fails to take into account a fundamental cause
                     of congestion: foot traffic using the pedestrian crossing across the David Low
                     Way connecting the IGA and proposed development to the village. With the
                     IGA open, these pedestrian movements have increased several fold and can
                     cause congestion on both sides of David Low Way and grid lock at the
                     roundabout. The impact on pedestrian movements if the proposed
                     development were allowed to proceed would be dramatic. At peak periods the
                     flow of pedestrians could be almost continuous, creating major safety issues
                     and traffic mayhem.

                     10.3 Summary
                     In view of the above, PBCAI submits that the traffic report is invalid and
                     should be rejected. A new report would be required taking into account actual
                     traffic post opening of the IGA, together with pedestrians.

                     11.1 Noise
                     The air-conditioning and refrigeration plant for the IGA mounted on the roof of
                     the IGA store will be a source of noise for the residents of the Hotel. There will
                     also be noise from the IGA loading dock.

                     The air-conditioning and refrigeration plant for the Peregian Beach Hotel are
                     mounted on the rear of the Hotel. This will be will be a source of noise for the
                     residents of the Reed Houses where the ground level will be 6 metres below
                     the ground level of the Peregian Beach Hotel.

                     We note that the Specific Outcomes for the Visitor Mixed Use Zone in the
                     Eastern Beaches Locality Plan (Division 19, Table 7.15) requires developers
                     to ensure that business uses do not have any adverse impact on the amenity
                     enjoyed by residents. Given the proximity of the residences proposed in this
                     DA to the businesses that abut the site this requirement should be applied to
                     this proposed development (as was proposed by Council and rejected by the
                     applicant).

                     Table 7.15 extract




                     PBCAI considers that the developer should be required to submit a noise
                     mitigation plan agreed between the Peregian Beach Hotel and the developer
                     with a formal commitment by each party to implement the plan, prior to any
