2. The Current Development Application
The balance of the caravan park site, after the IGAsupermarket development, is
what the developer is currently seeking approval to develop.

Here it is important to reiterate the written advice to the pre-lodgement meeting
held on 14 December 2016 (between Council and the developer):

       The Open Space Recreation zone in Peregian Beach specifically seeks to
       protect and retain the site for low cost visitor accommodation needs
       reflective of the site's previous use as a caravan park, but also
       acknowledges that a range of visitor accommodation may be provided
       where integrated with budget accommodation. There is no support given to
       permanent residents on the site.

       It is noted that the current approval included only visitor accommodation,
       with no permanent resident accommodation proposed. This approved
       development was supported by Council through an appeal process as it was
       acknowledged that it included low to mid cost visitor accommodation being
       a reasonable alternative to the Planning Scheme's intent to retain the
       caravan park.

       It is considered the current proposal does not meet the Planning Scheme's
       intent for the site as there is a lack of and a limited range of visitor
       accommodation proposed           .

The DAdoes not reflect this advice.

The other thing to mention here is the Planning and Environment Court
sanctioned approval of 12 February 2010 ofthe now lapsed DAreferred to
above. At item 3 it stated:
        The units shall operate in accordance with the defined use of'Visitor
        accommodation - Type 4 Conventional' in the Noosa Plan, which provides
       for short term visitor accommodation. The units shall not be usedfor the
        purpose of permanent residential accommodation, with the exception of
        two manager/caretaker's units. The Community Management Statement
       for any or all Bodies Corporate having control of the development, or any
       part thereof shall incorporate this requirement"

The DAis totally in conflict with this approval as can be seen below:

The proposal:
Multiple Housing of 3 types - 88 Beds (or Persons)
They are all proposed for PERMANENTRESIDENTS.
       The Kamala & Marram Houses (in the centre of the ring road) There are
       9 of these with 3 bedrooms. (27 persons). Carparking is 9x2. Estimated
       price $825K
