Proposal: Integrated shopping complex development i -:;-
"
Date: 20/08/2013
I object to the Development Application MCU13/0092 for the following reasons: I ’; .
. I object to the commercial use of the Peregian Bowls Club area zoned Open Spacel \
Recreation as determined in both The Noosa Plan 2006 and the draft Sunshine Coast
Planning Scheme (2012). The proposal does not comply with the Noosa Plan and the
proposed shopping centre is an inconsistent use in the Open Space Recreation zone.
. This development will adversely affect the consistent land and community use of the
current Tennis Courts, Community House, Kindergarten, Veggie Village and Di Hurst Oval
and surrounding residents. Woodland Drive as it was a quite cul-de-sac that allows
residents living in the street to walk to all facilities (rather than use the car). The street is so
quite you can hear tennis balls being hit from the local tennis club on Rufuous St. This
proposed development will cause significant increase in noise, creating a nuisance and
effecting residents. The increase in traffic is also ,a safety conc r,n. Residents and families
in walks daily wi,th their childr~m ’along,RUfous St to.the Peregian’Beach Village,
Kindergarten, Veggie Village and other local amenities. The trucks’and v hicles from this
.proposed development causes a safety concern to local families and children walking along
Woodland Drive and Rufous St. The traffic will also cause a choke point at the intersection
of David Low Way and Woodland Drive. This is the only exist point for all 140 homes in the
section between.Woodland Driv Tern St, Cormorant St, GaRnet St and Rufous St plus all
,
visitors to the facilities along Rufous St. Adding additional traffic to this area is a traffic
safety issue and the applicant has not shown sufficient grounds to alleviate the noise, traffic
or safety concerns.
.The
development will adversely effect the safety of local school children who walk along
Woodland Drive to the school bus stop on David Low Way. The children attending school
at Sunshine Beach also return home and cross the street from ,the east side of David Low
Way to get to Woodland drive. The traffic caused from this development poses a very high
’
safety risk to these SChO~.1 children.

The,sur~l;1 n~ ’Cop.st il Open Space St~ategy 201J. identifies that "Peregian Beach .
. oun
locality ~r~a js genera,lI};’ under provided f()[ with recreational parks"(2011:35) and I object to
the loss,qf this recreationallaod for the current and future residents and visitors of Peregian
~eqch~ The.lpss Qf this, recreation space would not only affect residents, iraffects the loeal
schools, suc.h as St Andrews, who used,the Beach Volleyball courts as they do not have
these facjlities themselves. Mal1y,of the local schools are under’prov.ided for in spo,rt and
recreation f.aciliti~s and utilise. public facilities such as the facility in 5"’7 Rufous S1.
. The applicant has not demonstrated that there is a need for the use to be located in the
Open Space Recreation zone.
. The proposal will result in the duplication of the existing neighbourhood centre which will
undermine the character and vision for the area and severely impact the sustainability and

u
viability of the current Village precinct.
The applicant’s economic report is flawed and does not demonstrate an overriding need for
.
the shopping complex as there is appropriately zoned and approved land in the locality that
could cater for an appropriately sized supermarket to meet the demands of the locality. The
applicant has also not considered in their economic report the effects of Internet shopping,
home delivery and shopping at local markets and food-cooperatives.
The development will adversely effect tourism and the local economy. The increase in
.
traffic, increase in noise and loss of recreation facilities will see Peregian Beach as less
desirable for tourists. The economic development of Peregian will further be reduced due to
the displacement of the shopping precinct, taking the focus away from the village. A recent
example of this is in Yandina, where the supermarket has significantly affected the local
character and charm of Yandina, created two neighbourhood areas and displaced the
existing local shops. The character and charm of Peregian and what makes it special will
be significantly affected. This proposal undermines the intent of the Noosa Plan and
undermines why residents moved to and live in Peregian and why visitors come to Peregian
Beach.
The economic benefit proposed in the application is not creating new wealth for the area. It
.
is simply moving dollars already spent in the community at the local Peregian Beach stores
and surrounding shopping precincts of Peregian Springs, Coolum and Noosa junction. By
taking business away from these existing shops it will have a significant impact on those
shopping precincts. It is important to the economics of the entire coast region that these
neighbuorhood precincts that are already well established remain strong and viable.
The jobs proposed by the applicant are also misleading and questionable. The jobs created
.
are at the expense of existing jobs from stores that will be affected by the duplication of
business. The applicant has also not taken into account job losses at neighbouring
shopping precincts of Noosa Junction, Coolum and Peregian Springs. In addition to the
number of jobs, it is questionable as to the quality of job. A sport and recreation facility also
provides for jobs, and a diverse range of jobs from event managers to referees to trainers
and instructors. The proposed developments will impact on jobs and entire families of the
locally owned businesses who are already living in Peregian Beach and whose children are
going to our local schools. These locally owned businesses also support the local charities
and non-profit groups, and any effect on the business will filter down and have an affect on
those community groups.
.
Peregian Beach needs economic development in the area of tourism. The existing sport
and recreation site can provide this through sports tourism and giving tourists to the area a
recreation activity that encourages them to stay an extra day in Peregian and spend more
money in Peregian. The volley ball when operating on the proposed site did provide great
economic benefit to the community through its events and competitions.

Peregian Beach will soon have new tourist accommodation from the Scanlon Development.
.
A sport and recreation facility next to this site is complementary and enhances the tourists
experience, making them stay longer and spend more money, enhancing our local
economy.
The applicant in their survey report has not identified the natural spring and the slope of
.
the property in relation to this spring. Run off from 5-7 Rufous 5t moves down towards
the spring that is the source of a fragile, miniature melaleuca wetland. The previous
tenants (the bowls club and volley ball) recognised the impact of the property on the
spring and used environmentally friendly cleaning products and fertilisers. The run off
from the proposed development from cleaning products, trucks, rubbish and general
day to day running of business will pollute and damage this natural spring, affecting the
.
wetlands and animals.
The applicants use of the word ’abandoned’ in the application is incorrect and
.
misleading. This site has never been abandoned. The community has fought for many
years to resurrect this site however the current owners of the site were not interested in
any lease or purchasing options from any sport and recreation group. A change in use of
the land will see the current owners and applicant benefit from a windfall, while ther
are existing buyers for the land that intend to use it as sport and recreation.
. The community need for sport and recreation is far higher than any need for extra shops.
There is already local grocery available in walking and biking distance. For example

provides for more groceries, retail and dining. For any items not available at the Peregian
Beach Village there is ample shopping within 3 to 10 minutes. It is only 3.4 minutes from
the Peregian Beach Coles to the proposed site (5-7Rufous St). This extra 3 minutes does not
warrant a need for the change in use of Open Space Recreation land. Residents of Peregian
Springs on the northern section are further away from the Peregian Springs Coles than
residents at Peregian Beach. The intent of the Noosa Plan is not to have a full functioning
shopping centre servicing every suburb. These larger scale supermarkets are to service the
surrounding suburbs, and the Peregian Springs coles services the residents of Peregian
Beach and Marcus Beach. Residents of Castaway’s Beach tend to travel north to Noosa
Junction.
. In the Sunshine Coast Councils Open Space Strategy under Urban D Open Space Planning
District it states there is an estimated 60% grown in the area over the next 10 years. At the
Peregian Beach Recreation Forum in 2012 council officers stated that this was 60% growth
in the 18-25 year age group. This age group needs sport and recreation facilities, as
Peregian Beach is currently under provided (as stated in the same strategy document).
.The applicant has not demonstrated that an approval should be granted despite the
conflicts with the Planning Scheme.
