Subject: ATTN: Patrick Murphy ...... Objection to Peregian Beach Development
Mr Patrick Murphy,
The Assessment Officer,
Noosa Shire Council
Dear Mr Murphy,
Objection to the Scanlon Group Development Application
215-219 David Low Way, Peregian Beach
MCU 16/0153 & REC16/0041
I object to the proposed Development Application on the following grounds:
Points of Concern for Submission Writing – Scanlon Development
Proposal
1)Material Change of use Application contravenes the Noosa Town Plan & will destroy our point
of difference & the attraction of our village to holiday makers & shoppers. The Caravan Park
amenity that was the real essence of Peregian village, will be replaced by urban density with
scarce landscaping.
2)No Compliance with Noosa Council requirements with majority of the accommodation
proposed for Permanent Housing. Priced from $725,000 to $850,000, this proposal hardly
provides low cost visitor accommodation for the growing needs of the local community.
Peregian Beach is already surrounded by new small lot housing developments that lack public
amenity, open space & village lifestyle.
3)Setbacks in general & to the Rufous laneway in particular, impinge on Noosa’s Master Plan for
Rufous St renewal which is currently in progress, community amenity values & the extensive
community consultation process intended to activate the Bush to Beach pathway upgrade &
encourage increased useage.
4)The Development’s impact on the creek & wetland, both during construction & upon
completion is of great concern, as is the planned density of housing in this ecologically sensitive

reserve & adjacent National Park. Some 25,000 cubic metres of imported fill will be required,
giving rise to 150 trips per day for at least 3 months. This means one heavy vehicle axle load
every 3-4 minutes along David Low way, down Sandpiper Lane, through the IGA carpark & then
back out via the Heron St roundabout.
5) Significant continuous Noise & Disruption to homes along David Low Way, adjoining streets,
PB Hotel, Hardware store, business & private premises in the vicinity of the roadways &
roundabout guaranteed.
6) Substantially Increased Traffic & Congestion is assured during construction as standing traffic
queues currently form at all accesses to the roundabout, particularly at daily peak times,
exacerbated further during school & public holidays. The proposed development risks being a
serious source of additional congestion & given the layout/landform, nigh on impossible to
mitigate in the future.
7)Diminished vistas across the National Park to Mt Cooroy due to bulky Hotel/Motel building’s
projected heights. Council needs to ensure height specifications are accurate & the current
expansive views are maintained. Here’s an opportunity to protect & showcase the intent of
Noosa’s logo ‘Different by nature!’
8)Other concerns include density of buildings & infrastructure within the precinct, the provision
of scarce green space/vegetation/shade, preferred orientation to sunlight & natural breezes,
the provision of public access pathway between two story buildings, with little to recommend
passive surveillance or a non threatening environment, particularly at night.
9) So many missed opportunities to work with community in consultation with Noosa Council’s
Master Plan for Rufous St & the adjoining laneway to add to the amenity. The north western
corner’s existing vegetation could have seen the creation of green space/parkland to embellish
the precinct for visitors & local community with potential to make connections between Rufous
St /laneway with this development instead it separates itself from the village feel.
10)This proposal conflicts with community values, endorsed by all who reside & those who
choose this relaxed pedestrian location, where thongs, even bare feet are the norm. It delivers
instead, undesirable urban density & city lifestyle that’s aesthetically at odds with Peregian’s
much sought after relaxed village character & community engagement.
I urge Noosa Council to protect the village of Peregian Beach & to refuse this DA.
