Neighbourhood       Centre   is   due              to       a      number   of     factors,     namely

       (1) A total absence of land within the Neighbourhood Centre zone, as
           evidenced by the relatively recent establishment of the Peregian
           Beach Tavern, the Heron Street commercial development and the
           approved Essence development outside said zone;
       (2) preference to establish dining, fashion boutiques and other non-
           A
           essential  every   day local convenience uses within              the
           Neighbourhood   Centre in recognition of the Centre’s function as a

           Dining/entertainment/Social Meeting       Place    rather   than    a

           contemporary  convenience    centre.


In the absence of    establishing in the Neighbourhood Centre zone, it is
considered that the subject site, being generally near the ’edge’ of the
Neighbourhood Centre zone, and at the same time adjoining community,
recreational and office     facilities, is conveniently positioned to provide
benefits to the local community and visitors, whilst not undermining the
established function of the Neighbourhood Centre. In fact the proposal has
the potential to provide synergies which will strengthen the function of said
Centre by way of attracting more expenditure and clientele to Peregian
Beach, and away from Coolum, Peregian Springs and the Noosa/Noosa
Junction locality.


7.7.3 Landscaping Code


The    Code  requirements have been addressed by Form Landscape
Architects (Brisbane) in the preparation of a preliminary conceptual design
and associated Landscaping Drawings        refer to Attachment "B". Further,
                                                        -




reasonable and relevant landscaping outcomes are able to be conditioned.


Of interest to this "edge of village" proposal is the fact that Table 14.57 of
the  Specific Outcomes "Exceptions                            for    specific     uses    and     other
development" states, inter alia   -




"Business Uses
Commercial business where located on the western side of David Low Way,
Peregian Beach between Woodland Drive and Peregian Beach Caravan
Park."


This suggests that a business activity, albeit not a                            retail   one,   has   an

opportunity to establish outside the nominated centre.

In addition, the establishment of the Peregian Beach Tavern and the Retail

premises on the north side of Heron Street, outside the village centre, along
with the recent P & E Court approved "Essence" (Scanlon) development on
the abandoned Peregian Beach Caravan Park site would suggest that the
