                     [email protected]




                     Dear Mr Murphy,


                                   Submission in opposition to the Development Application
                                                MCU 16/0153 & REC16/0041


                     I write to oppose the approval of the above development application (DA). The
                     grounds for my opposition are listed below.

                     1. History
                     The site, on which this development is proposed, was part of a caravan park
                     which existed in Peregian Beach from 1964. The current developer excluded
                     permanent caravan residents from the site and then claimed that the caravan
                     park was not commercially viable. For this reason, in 2009, the developer sought
                     approval to build a commercial building on the David Low Way part of the site
                     and two unit blocks each of 16 apartments and 30 of “beach shacks” behind the
                     commercial building and the Peregian Beach Hotel. This was agreed to by the
                     developer and the Council at a mediation.

                     However, the developer was not satisfied with what he had agreed to and in
                     2011 went back to the Planning and Environment Court to vary his agreed plans.
                     The development which the developer had had approved by the Planning and
                     Environment Court on 24 January 2012 was not economically viable. Apparently
                     the developer was unable to sell any of the “beach shacks” off the plan and the



                                                                                                     1
