File No: MCU13/0092
Name of Applicant: Multispan Australia
Postal address of Land: 5-7 Rufous Street, Peregian Beach
Proposal: Integrated shopping complex development
To whom it may Concern,
We wish to strongly object to the above referenced development application.
Proposed commercial use of the Peregian Bowls Club area zoned Open Space/ Recreation under both the
Noosa Plan 2006 & the draft 2012 Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme is unnecessary and would be detrimental to
the Peregian locale.
This development will have a significant adverse impact on Peregian Beach. The current land & community use
as tennis courts, community house, veggie village & Di Hurst oval are critical infrastructure to the local
community, removal of any of these uses will be at the detriment of the surrounding residents & on the existing
Peregian Village as well as the natural environment.
The Sunshine Coast Council Open Space Strategy 2011 identifies that "Peregian Beach locality area is generally
under provided for with recreational parks" (2011:35). We object to the potential loss of this recreational land to
commercial development for current and future residents of Peregian Beach and the wider community.
Noted are responses by the proponent to Council’s Information request dated 18th June 2013 to be lacking
conviction & poorly considered. Our objections follow the issues raised by council:
PLANNING ISSUES:
Open Space Network
Jny.: ~.\.\\.AQ:R: ...... .
There is NO alternate public or private land in Peregian to replace the exiWn-g Sl e.
~b
There is NO future planning to free land for recreational! community use as population increases in the
immediate area.
Existing Services
Supermarkets are in abundance in the local area. Local produce markets are plentiful and provide excellent
quality goods at sustainable prices for the community. An additional supermarket is unnecessary.
The existing centre of Peregian Beach benefits from the unique, successful group of small businesses that are
complementary & symbiotic. Reaching this potential has taken many years & is a source of pride to locals,
retailers and the broader community. The proposed development would be extremely detrimental to the progress
of the existing centre economically & socially. Replication of businesses in the immediate area is unnecessary.
The application will not generate economic benefit to the Peregian Beach vicinity and will transfer spending from
the existing successful central area.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES:
Significant negative impact will be imposed on local residents, in adjacent streets and on local community
facilities. Congestion, noise, traffic and general nuisance can be expected.
Visual impact should be a major consideration of council now & in the future. The design and layout of the
proposal are inferior to what could be achieved for the area.
Drainage has not been given any significant consideration by the proposer. Impact on the immediate natural
environment will be detrimental.
ENGINEERING & TRAFFIC ISSUES:
The current car parking amenity in the Peregian Beach area is inadequate & very poorly designed. Little
consideration has been given to safety & visual aesthetic, this development would increase the already damaged
appeal of the locale.
As identified in the council’s Information request, the traffic report is poorly considered and the response by the
proponent fails to adequately address the issues.
The roundabout at Peregian Beach and adjacent sections of the David Low Way are now at capacity during peak
periods & weekends. The impact of the proposed development on the area would be chronic from both a safety
and amenity perspective.
Council has a responsibility to ratepayers is to uphold the best interests of the community. Peregian
Beach remains one of the few communities left on the Sunshine Coast that has not been spoiled by
unnecessary development, please maintain the character of the area by firmly rejecting
this proposal.
Kind regards,
Valerie Beer
