e The venue has also previously disregarded council regulations operating the
unauthorized espresso bar and pop up cafes on the site without council approval.
These outdoor operations were noisy and disrupted the amenity of the
neighbourhood.

e The ongoing possibility that the property will also be used as a venue for hire is also
a concern for the neighbourhood. There is little ability to regulate the number of
people in attendance to these outdoor events or to prevent them from using the
footpaths and parking area for their activities. This has been clearly demonstrated by
these past events. The footpath in front of 18 Duke Street is the main thoroughfare
for the many area visitors that pass on their way to the village and beach from their
surrounding area accommodation. A family being subject to passing through a crowd
of party goers is not conductive to the atmosphere that is the essential character of
Sunshine Beach.

In conclusion, the management of Sunshine Vista fully supports the business activity in the
village in line with the community’s best interest. The proposed Material Change of Use does
not fit with the commurnity’s best interest due to the previously noted changes to the
essential character of the neighbourhood, the increased noise, and parking issues. Past
experience with the venue has shown that this type of evening activity is a nuisance and
interferes with the area resident's quiet enjoyment of their property. We urge the council
disapprove the application as submitted.
