should be located in the existing neighbourhood centre zone as detailed by the Noosa
Plan.

6. The proposed design of the IT Enterprise Building and new Peregian Beach Community
house, detrimentally impacts on the existing neighbourhood centres’ function as it does
not provide sufficient carparking to meet the demands of users that will be generated by
the use as well as catering for existing users.

7. An independent parking assessment of the proposal and surrounds has been carried out
by TTM Consulting Pty Ltd. This assessment indicates that parking is already at or close
to capacity in the area and is reliant on the existing public parking available on the site.
The TTM report recommends that parking provided as part of the development
application is publically available so the development does not contribute to a reduction in
public parking.

8. The TTM report indicates that the existing carparking area is needed for overflow for
existing village. The proposal does not detail how this overflow carparking (which is
currently provided on site and promoted by Council) will be catered for on site.

9. The TTM report indicates that additional parking measures are required to ensure that
the development does not impact on the surrounding area, such as maintenance of
public parking during construction, public parking availability post development and
reviewing the proposed parking layout to maximise parking supply. Concerns are raised
that these aspects will not be incorporated into any approval and therefore the loss of
carparking will be detrimental to the area.

10. The provision of sufficient carparking on site for the use and the community was raised
as part of submissions to the Draft Master Plan. The proposal is not considered to have
provided sufficient carparking for the proposed use or surrounding commercial areas.

11. The site currently contains public carparking that is highly visible from the David Low Way
and utilised for overflow carparking. The proposal reduces the visibility of this parking
area from the David Low Way which will in lead to additional pressure on parking in
surrounding areas which is not appropriate.

12. The potential reduction in pubically available carparking as a result of the proposal is
considered shortsighted and does not consider the future carparking demands of the
area.

Development Application MCU16/0044 and REC16/0009 should be refused for the following
reasons:
a. The proposal does not comply with the Noosa Plan;

b. The proposed uses are commercial uses which should be located in the
neighbourhood centre zone not in the Community Services zone;

c. The proposal will detrimentally impact on the surrounding area due to the lack of
carparking provided on site; and

d. The applicant has not demonstrated that sufficient public carparking to cater for
existing public parking demands of the area and the proposed use is provided on
site.
