        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
