PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                    20 MAY 2014


 MCU12/0023         On the 26 July 2012 Council approved a Material Change of Use application
                    for 13 juliette balconies and 70m2 of outdoor dining area.
 OPW11/0335         On the 2 September 2012, Council approved the Operational Works
                    associated with the development for visitor accommodation, restaurants,
                    shops and offices.
 10/0627.01         An application has recently been lodged for an Extension to Relevant Period
                    for Reconfiguring a Lot (1 into 3 lots). The approval lapses on the 29 October
                    2014.
 132007.1259.0      On the 26 August 2013, the court agreed to an extension to the relevant
 4                  period for visitor accommodation, restaurants, shops and offices, with the use
                    having to commence before 26 September 2016, with all development
                    required to be completed by the 4 February 2018.

The applicant intends for this development to replace stage 1 of the current approval for visitor
accommodation, restaurants, shops and office on the site.

The applicant includes legal advice from Michael Leong (Corrs Chambers Westgarth), confirming
that the proposed development is entirely independent of the existing approval for visitor
accommodation, restaurant, shops and offices (07/1259). It is agreed the current application is to
be assessed on its own merit over the land comprising the first stage of the existing approval.
Should the development be approved, it will be necessary for the applicant to amend the existing
approval or apply for a new application to enable both developments to occur.
2.2     Site Description
The 2.3ha site is located on the western edge of the Peregian Beach Village and includes
frontage to David Low Way, with vehicular access from an unnamed road, which runs off David
Low Way. Two-thirds of the site was previously used as a caravan park, with the western third
containing areas of wetland and low lying melaleuca forest. The eastern portion of the site is
located 4m below David Low Way and slopes gradually towards the west.

Adjoining the site to the north east is the Peregian Beach Hotel, fronting David Low Way.
Opposite the unnamed road to the south is an existing hardware store, which includes part of the
building at road level, with the timber and service areas located below. The closest residential
houses to the proposed shopping centre are located approximately 70m away, on the eastern
side of David Low Way.

3.      ASSESSMENT
The application has been assessed against the following statutory instruments, including:

     the South East Queensland Regional Plan,
     the state planning regulatory provisions,
     any applicable state planning policies, and
     any applicable temporary local planning instrument

3.1     South East Queensland Regional Plan
The site is located within the Urban Footprint designation of the South East Queensland Regional
Plan. The regional policies in Part D of the Regional Plan are relevant when assessing a
development application.

The proposal will not adversely affect the hierarchy of centres for the region and is consistent
with the regional land use intent, regional policies and desired regional outcomes for the
designation.
