143.   Overall, it is concluded that the proposed development complies with the Overall Outcomes of the
       Eastern Beaches Locality Code. To demonstrate compliance a statement on each relevant Overall
       Outcome has been provide below, and for ease of reading, this has been broken down into topics
       including Economic Need, Built Form, Environment and Community Expectations.

         Economic Need/Land Use
          The proposed development provides an excellent opportunity for increased residential and visitor
           accommodation development within the Peregian Beach locality. Peregian Beach, contains limited
           opportunities within existing areas for residential and visitor accommodation. This has been
           confirmed by the Economic Needs Analysis (Appendix 3), which amongst other things states:

                ‘There is strong need for the proposed development including both short‐term
                accommodation at the right mix and scale to ensure viability and residential dwellings; and
                that the subject site represents a logical and strategic location for the proposed
                development’.
                …
                ‘The vacant land market within Peregian Beach is significantly supply constrained and supply
                led, with the release of the Peregian Beach estate delivering to the market stock during 2015
                and 2016, and subsequent moderating pressure on median sales prices for vacant land
                products. However, there have been limited opportunities for land release within the
                Peregian Beach area, which will continue to feature within the residential property market in
                Peregian Beach.
                …
                The proposed development will introduce new, modern residential stock to Peregian,
                contributing to improved choice and access to the Peregian Beach Village and its relative
                lifestyle affordability. Ongoing lack of residential development will continue to flow through
                to tighter residential markets in Noosa and Peregian Beach, with limited choice in residential
                development, affordability of lifestyles and living arrangements’.

         Built Form
          The proposed development retains the beachside character of the Peregian Beach through
           providing a low rise built form, which includes lightweight materials, cladding, pitched roofs, glass
