A SUBMISSION IN OBJECTION TO THE PROPOSED COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE OPEN SPACE RECREATION ZONED AREA OF PEREGIAN BEACH

To-
The Chief Executive Officer
Sunshine Coast Council
Locked Bag 72
Sunshine Coast Mail Centre, QLD 4560

File No : MCU13/0092

Name of applicant: Multispan Australia
Postal address of land: 5 - 7 Rufous Street Peregian beach
Proposal: Integrated shopping complex development

I wish to make a submission on the referenced development application as follows:-

We object to the commercial use of the Peregian Beach Bowls Club area zoned open space/recreation as determined in both the Noosa plan 2006 and the draft Sunshine Coast planning scheme (2012).

This development will adversely affect the consistent land and community use of the current tennis courts, community house, kindergarten, veggie village and Di Hurst oval and surrounding residents.

The Sunshine Coast Council open space strategy 2011 identifies that" Peregian beach locality area is generally under provided for with recreational parks" (2011:35) and we object to loss of this recreational land for the current and future residents of Peregian beach and wider catchment to commercial development.

We object further on the following basis:-

1. This development will remove scarce and much-needed public recreation land. The zoning for community recreation space MUST be retained.

2. Drain dollars away from the business center at the popular village, affecting the lives of many of our local residents that are small business owners who have worked hard to build their businesses.

3. Dangerous traffic will be created in Rufus Street, effecting the children and community members at the Kindergarten, Vege village, tennis courts, oval, community house and residents. A horrific traffic block will also be created by the excessive traffic of cars and trucks at the Woodland Drive intersection.

4. This development will destroy the carefully planned village that we have created, annihilating the community village feeling of tranquility and harmony that we currently enjoy and is popular with our visitors. We do not want it or need it.
