 I wish to make a submission on the referenced development application, as follows:
                                                                                                  .




                                                                                                      .....~...~1
                                                                                                              ~
     1.   The proposed use is not consistent with the intent for the area, it being zoned for

          recreational purposes/open space. It is supremely important that this type of zoning cannot

          just be overturned to suit commercial interests.
     2.   The current uses for this area include a tennis club, kindergarten, vegie village, bowls club,

          presently not operating, but not inoperable. A grassed oval which can be and is used for a
          number of activities, and the community house, which is used in many ways from from

          educational social recreational and charitable.

     3.   Traffic. The David Lowe way has not the capacity to handle the amount of traffic which

          would be entering

     t: Woodland Drive and Rufous Street. It is way too narrow for a roundabout or traffic lights.
          Dwellings on the eastern side would be seriously affected by increased traffic.
     5.   The proposed development is not compatible with the Peregian Village character. We have

          small shops, a small supermarket and some very popular restaurants. People come from

          other areas to enjoy the ambience. A supermarket and shopping centre would necessarily

          draw trade away from these more suitable activities, resulting in bankrupted small

          businesses and many empty shops. There are four shopping centres within easy reach of

          Peregian, if that is what people want.
     6.   No prizes for guessing what will happen to our baker, fruit and veg. Newsagent, pharmacy

          and book shop if there is an IGA across the road, they just can’t compete.
