    (w)  Development facilitates safe and convenient pedestrian and cycle connections between and around key destinations within the local plan area. Access to the

    (aa) Development in Marcus Beach —
         (i)   provides housing, predominantly for permanent residents, in a secluded vegetated setting.
         (ii) maintains and accentuates its low density beachside character by retaining mature vegetation, and curvilinear streets enclosed by undulating topography
               and the adjoining dune system.
         (iii) maintains the established beachside character which is integrated with the low dunes and their vegetation, framed and enclosed by the high dune
               system which forms the only substantial break in the linear pattern of development between Sunshine Beach to the north and Peregian Beach to the
               south.

               strong sense of place and the centre’s function and capacity to provide a public focus for local community interaction and activity.
         (iv) provides a slightly wider range of employment opportunities than other parts of the local plan area due to its more distant separation from a major urban
               centre.
