                 DETAILS OF SUBMISSION:
                 I make the following submission:

                 Peregian Beach is unique in its beautiful natural environment, both on its seaward and
                 hinterland sides. Emphatically, my response is NO to the proposed development of 50 units at
                 215 David Low Way.
                 - The beautiful wetlands display amazing diversity, scenic natural views to the mountains, and
                 invaluable open space, calm and quiet. The wetlands add another dimension to Peregian which,
                 with care and management will be valued by generations to come - just as Noosa National Park
                 is valued today. These natural areas are priceless!
                 - If the developer is allowed to "carve away" a piece of this unique environment to misuse it
                 for more buildings - a precedence will be set - it will be "the thin edge of the wedge".
                 - Peregian Village is already losing its "village" feel with continued expansion across the
                 highway. Like Noosa, it is becoming "clogged" with cars and shops. Visitors and residents come
                 for relaxation, space, clean air and beauty - they come to escape traffic jams and congestion!
                  This development will exacerbate further the problems of noise and space.
                 - I am very concerned that unrestricted expansion will eventually destroy the very things we
                 treasured in the beginning.
                 - Short term profits of developers should not dictate the destruction of our beautiful wetlands
                 for future generations.
                 I implore the Council to consider the responsibility we hold as care takers of this beautiful place
                 for future generations.
