           (c)    As set out at i and vi above, Noosa  (and the Sunshine coast)
           offer a wide range of informal recreational opportunities;


         (d) As previously stated 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.


           (e)    As mentioned
                         by Peter Sharpe in his book "Up Rose an Emu"                              ,




there may be a number of reasons why certain recreation uses may not be
viable/attractive on Lot 94.


In summary, it would not appear that the     proposal will compromise the
relevant DEO’s to any discernible extent, and to the contrary the proposal is
likely to provide benefits to the users of neighbouring public recreation
spaces, including the adjacent Peregian Beach Community Centre.


7.5.9    DEO j) relates to Tourism and states-


                  "A tourism industry is developed and sustained which                  -




                  i         is based      on      the Shire’s natural assets         including   the
                 subtropical climate, the beaches, watercourses and foreshores
                 and the National parks and bushland;
                 ii     fosters an appreciation and understanding of heritage;
                  iii       focuses    on      the           coastal localities   of Noosa   Heads,
                  Noosaville, Sunshine Beach and Peregian Beach, but provides
                  complementary rural visitor accommodation;
                  iv      offers  visitors   a  range    of   experiences      and
                  accommodation types;
                  v       contributes to the economic wellbeing of the Shire; and
                  vi      achieves ecological, economic and social
                                  "

                 sustainability.

Town Planning Comment:


(a)     The proposal whilst not directly a tourism project will never-the-Iess assist
        the local tourism industry/operators by:
             .
                        offering a range of convenience shopping produce for local
                        visitors and tourists to Peregian Beach without the need to
                        drive outside the area;
             .          enabling the tenancies in the Neighbourhood Village Centre
                        to focus on tourism related  entertainment/dining/boutique
                        opportunities similar to the dominant existing usage of
                        existing tenancies; and
             .          as previously mentioned the proposal will contribute to the

                        economic wellbeing of Peregian Beach generally, and in
                        turn the Shire.
