term population of Peregian Beach. However, the following would suggest
that adequate land exists in this zone, namely:


    1. Said   zoned    land   is
                             complemented and supplemented by the
      proximity of Peregian Beach foreshore and beach, and the
      associated recreational and leisure opportunities;
   2. The relative low usage of the Di Hurst Oval complex;
   3. The use of Open Space Recreation land as a Village Garden, rather
       than more conventional recreation activities;
   4. The generally small population of school-age children and teenagers
       at   Peregian   Beach       needed         to       viably support   most recreational
       facilities (ie note the demise of the community swimming pool); and
   5. The general lack of population to support major sporting facilities (ie
       note the demise of the Bowls Club).


Finally, it would seem that it is not out of the question, if there were a strong
community need for public open space and recreation facilities at Peregian
Beach that the Di Hurst Oval complex could accommodate them or
additional public land could be made available adjoining said complex.
