                         are  sensitively managed and protected from any
                         adverse impacts Including cumulative impacts, resulting
                         from development;

Town Planning Comments:


In our opinion the proposal is consistent with the DEO. More specifically, the

proposal:

    .      will incorporate water quality and quantity management elements
           which will ensure that there are no discernible impacts on the
           adjoining Noosa National park and wetland areas;
    .      will introduce landscaping/vegetation elements which will visually
           enhance     the natural, and man     made environment beyond the
                                                            -




           standard which currently exists, and which has existed for the past
           50years;
    .      will enhance the local economy by arresting considerable escape

           expenditure from Peregian Beach, and also assist the tourism industry
           by    complementing      and   enhancing the function         of   the
           Neighbourhood    Village  Centre  as a  Entertainment/Dining/   Social
           meeting Place;
    .      does not impact on the distinct urban locality of Peregian Beach;
    .      will incorporate high water quality, landscaping and biodiversity
           outcomes;
    .      will enhance visual amenity by modernising an abandoned relatively
           uninteresting site with a contemporary convenience shopping
           complex, incorporating built and landscape design outcomes
           characteristic of the Peregian Beach idiom;


Finally, it needs to be recognised that the subject site is privately owned, and
consequently the community expectations cannot be the same as that for
similarly zoned land in public ownership.
