        Does this mean that in the future we will be faced with empty shops at either
        location? Not a pretty sight!
        Nowhere has it been suggested that this property development will increase
        spending in these above-mentioned businesses.
        Veggie Village is a very popular garden. It is tucked away in a quiet corner and
        feed by a lovely clear stream,which feeds the village and supports local wild life.
        Imagine what traffic and pollution will do to this kind of space. Why set about
        destroying all these precious areas, which are unique in modern existence? Once
        these kinds of areas are threatened they then disappear forever.
        Rufous St., is the only feeder street for Peregian Kindergarten. The Kindergarten
        occupies an ideal area away from all traffic with a safe and sheltered
        environment for the small children who are brought here every day to attend the

        kindergarten. The impact of a development so close to this kindergarten will
        threaten the safety of the children and ruin the area forever. Rufous St., is also
        the feeder street for Peregian Tennis Club. This is a thriving and busy tennis
        club, currently enjoying part of the area zoned recreational. Imagine the impact
        a development this size will have on this prosperous club. This small precinct

        will be forever disadvantaged.
        The people who have chosen to life in our village, have done so because of the
        lack of chain shops in concrete jungles, no high rise buildings, no pollution or
        congested traffic.
        It is a beautiful corner of the world and Peregian Village has an ideal situation
        bordered by beach on one side and national park on the other. Let us keep it that

        way   -
                  not only for ourselves but for generations to come.
