          The purpose of the Sustainable Planning Act (2009)(the Act) is to achieve ecological sustainability which is a balance between

          social, economic and environmental sustainability. Council’s approval ofMeU 13/0092 would not advance purposes oftbe Act
           or the   following reasons:



                       1.   The application does not advance the vision ofNoosa Plan (2006)with respect to provision of open
                            space recreation;


                      2.    Peregian Beach and Coolwn Beach communit es value their seaside village status currently serving
                            resident and visitors’ local retail, business, dining and entertainment needs only;


                      3.    Community consultation performed for NQosa Plan (2006)suggests a majority of residents are
                            prepared to forgo provision of larger scale retail and commercial services in order to maintain local
                            character and identity;


                      4.    Peregian Beach residents and visitors already have ready access to larger scale supermarket services at
                            Coolum Beach, Peregian Springs and Noosa Junction. There is no community demand for a larger
                            supermarket to be located at Peregian Beach;

                      5.    The timing of this application appears designed to advance commercial interests of the proponents.
                            Approval ofthis application by SCRC Council prior to de-amalgamation would not advance purposes
                            of the Sustainable Planning Act (2009)and proper role of local government in acbieving an
                            appropriate balance ofsocial, economic and environmental sustainability;

                      6.    The Peregian Beach Village Square is an iconic commercial development attributed to the renowned
                            architect Karl Langer. Loss of character, amenity and economic viability that would follow approval of
                            this application will detract from this unique development on tbe Sunshine Coast.
