Not Properly made submission (duplicate) Geoffrey & Karen Rigby MCU13/0092

~...




       C.6 The Peregian Beach Community House carpark will be appropriated by
             the developer for private commercial        use   and the   community will be
             deprived of access. The plans submitted in support of the development
             suggest this is the longer term intention.

       D.    Economic Issues


       D.1   This applicationsimply proposes to transfer retail spending from the
             Peregian Beach village and other supermarkets in the area to the
             proposed new supermarket to the complete detriment of the existing
             Peregian Beach village businesses.

       D.2 There is no suggestion of creating additional retail spending in Peregian
             Beach. There is no economic benefit in simply moving retail spending
             from one part of Peregian Beach to another.


       E.    Environment Issues


       E.1   There will be significant impact on residents of Cormorant, Tern, Gannet
             Streets and Woodland Drive and the users of Rufous Street and Veggie
             Village, the tennis courts, Di Hurst Oval, the kindergarten, the Co-op and
             the Peregian Beach Community House if this application is approved.
             There will be greatly increased noise, increased traffic movements and
             access difficulties.   Deliveries out of hours will be effected. There will be
             a need for increased lighting (including security lighting) and the potential
             nuisance impact of this will adversely affect he amenity of local residents
             and users of these facilities.


       E.2 The development is adjacent to the Peregian Beach Community House
             where activities such as mediation, yoga, pilates, first aid classes and
             other gentle pursuits take place which are incompatible with this type of
             development.

       F.    Engineering and Traffic Issues

       F.1   Traffic conflict at the Rufous Street entrance to the site will be inevitable
             between service and       delivery vehicles, private customer vehicles and
             pedestrians.

       F.2   The increased volumes of traffic on Rufous Street, Woodland Drive,
             David Low Way and other surrounding streets will increase the risk to
             pedestrians and children including at the kindergarten           and children
             accessing school buses at David Low Way bus stops.

       F.3 The Woodland Drive and David Low Way intersection will suffer greatly
             increased traffic congestion and safety issues will be a major problem


       F.4 There is a real risk of runoff from the site and Rufous Street can contain
             chemical spills, industrial strength chemical and cleaning products, petrol
