As a tourist who has visited Peregian at least twice a year for the past decade, I love the small town, close knit and non commercial feel of the area.  Rezoning to put in a large commercial shopping complex would take away what brings me back to this place.  It was zoned that way for a reason, don't give in to corporate pressure.


I  object to:

- the commercial use of the Peregian Bowls Club area zoned OpenSpace/Recreation as determined in both The Noosa Plan 2006 and the draft Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme (2012)

-the loss of the Bowls Club open space site to a supermarket, multiple specialty shops and car parking and the appropriation by the developer of the community car park spaces at the Peregian Beach Community House

- the increased volumes of traffic, including service and delivery vehicles, especially on Rufous Street, Woodland Drive and the David Low Way. The Woodland Drive - David Low Way intersection is not engineered for the heavy traffic demands of a supermarket and commercial precinct

- a commercial sprawl that would create two centres within the town, draw business away from the current retail establishments and threaten the unique, low-density atmosphere of Peregian Beach Village

- the unnecessary addition of a large-scale supermarket to the heart of Peregian Beach village, especially when there are already many large supermarkets (3 x Coles, Woolworths and IGA) all within a short drive.  Additionally, a small supermarket has already been approved for the former caravan park site

I  believe that the zoning for community recreation space MUST be retained.
