EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The objective of the Community Study was to gain an impartial and independent
assessment of the community’s response to the proposed development.
The survey was conducted at Peregian Beach over the weekend of the 15th and
1 yth March 2013. Experienced interviewers collected information from partici-
pants. Participants included residents, rate payers and business owners and/or
operators. A total sample of 100 participants was necessary to ensure a statisti-
cal representation of the ABS (Australian Bureau of Statistics) demographic area
of Peregian Beach. This sample was achieved.
A Community Study is a snapshot of the community’s opinions, perceptions and
attitudes on a particular topic at the time of the survey.
The results indicate that:
When participants of the Community Study were asked for their level of support
for the concept of the Peregian Beach Market Place as shown to them on the
day with site maps, artistic impressions and photographs depicting the concept
of an IGA Marketplace store:
o 37% of participants indicated a positive response
o 63% of participants indicated a negative response.
When asked to indicate their level of support for a ’Peregian Beach Marketplace’
as depicted in the material the participants were shown on the day:
o 35% of participants indicated they would be supportive
o 10% of participants indicated a neither/nor or don’t know response
o 55% of participants indicated they would not be supportive
When asked to indicate what they believe the level of support from those local to
the area for a ’Peregian Beach Marketplace’ as depicted in the material the par-
ticipants were shown on the day:
o 29% of participants indicated that those local to the area would be sup-
portive
o 12% of participants indicated a neither/nor or don’t know response
o 59% of participants indicated that those local to the area would not be
supportive.
The shopping needs of participants from Peregian Beach for grocery and food
items appears not to be meet as 68% of participants do larger shops once to four
times a month, with top ups. Of the 68%, 56% of participants indicate they need
Page 6
-

to do four large shops a month. Participants indicate they do these larger shops
at Peregian Springs Shopping Centre (56%),and/or at Noosa Shopping Precinct
(19%)and/or Coolum Village (13%).A few participants (6%)did their large shop
at Peregian Beach Village Square.
Of the total participants, 26% do no large shops, shopping just as they need and
6% do not buy food or grocery items.
When participants were asked, unprompted, where did they shop more locally for
any type of shopping, the shopping centre they indicated they shopped at most
frequently, their ’top of mind’ response was Peregian Springs Shopping Centre
(45%)and hence Peregian Beach Village Shopping (28%).
However, in reviewing the shopping needs of the participants, an inconsistency
appear to arise as it is noted with the participants’ responses when 60% of par-
ticipants agreed that ’There is an abundance of retail, supermarket and conven-
ience style shopping in Peregian Beach that meets the needs of the community’.
With only 28% of participants indicating they shop most frequently at Peregian
Beach Village Square and 88% indicated they do their large shops outside
Peregian Beach precinct.
In discussing shopping at Peregian Beach Village Square and mainly for top up
shopping, participants liked that it was close -
easy and handy with personal and
friendly and that they were keen to support local business. What participants did
not like about shopping at Peregian Beach Village Square was the issue of park-
ing and traffic.
When participants were asked, unprompted and allowing multiple responses,
what items did they usually buy at Peregian Beach Village Square, they indicated
bread and bakery items; newspapers and stationery items; pharmaceutical
items; fresh fruit and vegetables, and alcohol beverages. Participants indicated
what currently was not available to them at the Peregian Beach Village Square
was fresh meat and chicken produce.
When asked if their support would change if the proposed convenience centre
included items read from a list, some 20% to 25% of participants indicated their
support would be more if items such as fresh meat and chicken; delicatessen
items; fresh seafood; continental, gourmet and speciality items, and fresh fruit
and vegetables were included.

Participants (72%)agreed the Peregian Beach Village Square was more of a
dining, entertainment and community activity focal point rather than a conven-
ience shopping centre.
While participants’ responses indicate they are keen to support local business,
62% of participants would not be supportive of the proposed development if an
opportunity for existing business like, Post Office, Pharmacy and/or Newsagency
could expand into larger premises in the proposed development.
Participants (65%)indicate they would not be supportive of the proposed devel-
opment if it included a liquor and wine shop.
Participants (59%)indicate they would not be supportive of the proposal if it was
operating longer hours over seven days a week.
In testing scenarios while discussing shopping needs generally, and at the pro-
posed site, more participants than not, would support a proposed development
on the site particularly if:
o the opportunity was available to do their larger shops locally than go out-
side the area
o they could be assured that the convenience centre proposed would, at
the very least, provide a variety and quality of food and groceries at
competitive pricing
o the convenience centre proposed was operated by an IGA franchise ra-
ther than the large supermarket chains such as Coles, Woolworths, Aldi
etc..
The more supportive response for the questions when testing the scenarios was
consistent ranging from 41 % to 44%.
The ’neither/nor/don’t know response when testing the scenarios was consistent
ranging from 20% to 28%.
The less supportive response for the questions when testing the scenarios was
consistent ranging from 28% to 38%.
In response to following statements in regards to the site, participants indicated
some division.
Page 8

’We need to smarten up the place (site being discussed); it is looking stressed,
old and tired.’
D 42% of participants agreed
D 12% of participants indicated a neither/nor or don’t know response
D 46% of participants did not agree.
’The area of the now defunct Bowls Club area is becoming an eyesore and di-
minishes the perception of Peregian Beach as a vibrant, engaging community.’
D 35% of participants agreed
D 9% of participants indicated a neither/nor or don’t know response
D 56% of participants did not agree.
In response to concepts of the proposed development, the overall distribution
was more supportive of the development of a convenience centre that provided
quality and variety of food products at costs similar to the IGA marketplace con-
cept stores, particularly if:
D it included a carefully planned mixed of consumer goods to provide opti-
mum benefit for both residents and visitors, and would complement ex-
isting businesses
D it was a single level, lower set building with bush-style landscaping ap-
propriate to the existing vegetation of the area with some 100 generous
size parking bays
D it had a proven track record in supporting locally produced goods and
services
D it was to provide up to 80 new full and part time employment opportuni-
ties.
The more supportive response for the above criteria was consistent ranging from
41% to 45%.
The ’neither/nor/don’t know response for the above criteria was consistent rang-
ing from 8% to 15%.
The less supportive response for the questions for the above criteria was consis-
tent ranging from 44% to 50%.
Reviewing current shopping behaviours would suggest there is a need for a bone
fide convenience centre including a supermarket. With 68% of participants re-
quired to do larger shops, for some participants (52%)having to do large shops
four times a month outside the Peregian Beach area. 6% of the 68% do larger
Page 9

shops do so at Peregian Beach Village Square while 31 % of participants do not
do large shops and/or do not buy food or grocery items and 88% do their
weekly/monthly larger shops outside the Peregian Beach precinct.
With only 28% of participants indicating they shop most frequently at Peregian
Beach Village Square for any type of shopping.
It is appreciated that this Community Study was commissioned to ascertain the
support of the proposed development of a convenience centre on the site dis-
cussed. It is also appreciated that the results of the study were to confirm the
perceptions of the proponent.
The results indicate that 63% of participants do not support the proposal as it
was presented to them on the day.
However, the Community Study does highlight some factors and inconsistencies
that could be explored.
For instance, it seems an interesting community dilemma that a proposed devel-
opment on a site that is no longer utilised; with a proposed concept that could fill
a genuine need of the community is not supported by that community?
Are there any further questions or information that needs to be presented to the
community so they could be better informed, namely:
o How would the shopping needs of the community be meet if there is cur-
rently no suitably zoned land available in the Peregian Beach precinct?
o It is appreciated that the results could indicate that more people in
Peregian Beach would prefer not to have a convenience centre, or is it
that the community has an agenda of how they may want the site devel-
oped?
o Is it that any alternative strategy for the proposed that is suitable and
viable?
o Is it appropriate that a large percentage (anticipated to be a total escape
expenditure of $1 0.6m in the first year of trading -
proposed as 2015) of
the community’s disposable income is spent outside the community?
o Is the community informed of the current and future interests and needs
of the very local businesses it indicates it is keen to support and protect?
o Is it fair to say ’no’ to 80 full time and part time employment positions
when the 2011 Census Figures Unemployment figures for Australia were
5.6% and Peregian Beach 7.7%.
Page 10
-
6 -
o Does the inconsistencies of the participants’ responses in identifying a
need for a local convenience centre, reflect a sentiment that there is op-
position to any further development in Peregian Beach?
o As these results are a ’snap shot’ of the current situation, what consider-
ations need to be planned for the future generations of residents at
Peregian Beach?
Answers to these questions may be necessary, for a community that indicates it
is not getting its general food and grocery needs meet within Peregian Beach
precinct and nor is there any potential for this; that it could be spending most of
their disposable income outside their community; that it is prepared to forgo the
opportunity for 80 full and part time employment positions, while indicating they
would prefer to do their larger shopping locally with a IGA franchise rather than a
larger supermarket chain
These answers may provide information to be disseminated with a consultative
approach to the community, and perhaps increase support for the development
of a convenience centre on the proposed site.

1. SITUATION ANALYSIS
The proposed development site is located to the west of David Low Way in
Peregian Beach. It compromises of 6503sqm and was previously a lawn bowls
club. The site is privately owned by Pine Rivers Bowls Club Limited, along with
two beach volleyball courts which are still in use. After going into liquidation in
March 2010, the bowls club has been inactive for nearly three (3)years. Attempts
to re-establish the Peregian Beach Bowls Club on this site have been unsuccess-
ful. The club currently operates from the Coolum facility.
The traditional Peregian Town Centre Village Square is located some 300 metres
to the south-east of the eastern side of David Low Way.
The proposed development of the ’Peregian Beach Marketplace’ will consist of a
IGA Convenience Centre, consistent with IGA’s marketplace concept stores and
specialty shops that may include a boUle shop; coffee shop, takeaway noodle
outlet and provide expansion to existing Peregian Beach Village retailers such as
Australia Post, the newsagent and pharmacy.
The site at 5-7 Rufous Street currently compromise of an unused Bowling Club, is
some 2000sqm with the proposed supermarket expected to be 1500sqm with the
remaining specialty retail tenancies. These tenancies notionally will range be-
tween 67sqm and 80sqm with a total of seven (7)proposed.
The site will include a car park with some 100 generous spaces, vehicle and pe-
destrian access to David Low Way and Rufous Street with appropriate landscap-
ing. The access to the site from David Low Way will involved gaining access
through Council owned land, currently used as a public car park associated with
the Peregian Community Centre.
It is intended that the proposal for the site and the existing traditional town centre
village square developments might complement one another, and could attract
additional activity to Peregian Beach that would add value to existing retail and
professional businesses.

2. RATIONALE FOR COMMUNITY SURVEY
Under the relevant planning scheme -
the Noosa Plan -
the site is zoned for open
space and recreational activities, and as such is in conflict with the planning
scheme and the onus is on the applicant to demonstrate that there are sufficient
grounds to approve the development notwithstanding the conflict. Additionally,
the potential/established Court approved conflicts have been indentified in four
nearby locations within the vicinity of the site proposed for development. These
four nearby locations are:
o Peregian Beach Village Square
o Peregian Springs Shopping Centre
o Coolum Village, Coles Supermarket etc
o Noosa Shopping Precinct
The Sunshine Coast Council is preparing a new consolidated planning scheme
for the Sunshine Coast region. There are indications that there may be strong
town planning grounds that demonstrate a need for such a proposal as the
"Peregian Beach Marketplace" and that there is no suitably zoned and sized land
for such a possibility.
At this current time, considering this possibility, it is appropriate to gauge commu-
nity opinion for the proposed development, on this site.
The findings of the Community Study, economist’s research and other studies
should be presented with the development application.

3. OBJECTIVE OF THE COMMUNITY STUDY
The objective of the Community Study is to gain an impartial and independent
assessment of the community’s response to the proposed development.
The study will quantify community opinion of the proposed development, its con-
cept and aspects of it, and not limited to:
o The level of support for the proposed development
o Response to aspects of the proposed development
o Level of support for the concept of the proposed development.
o Level of agreement to public opinion in regards to the proposed devel-
opment
o Community’s expectations of the benefit to the community of the pro-
posed development
o Opportunities for enhancing aspects of the proposal to meet with com-
munity expectations
o Community input to retail mix, visual amenity and vehicle and pedestrian
access etc

4. OVERVIEW OF METHODOLOGY
Sample Selection and Time Frame
Smart Lives, Social and Management Consultancy was commissioned to conduct
an independent survey to obtain and evaluate the opinions of the broader com-
munity on a proposed development of the private property located on the site
previously occupied by the Peregian Beach Bowls Club at 5-7 Rufous Street. The
total area is about 6000 sq metres and is behind the Community Centre car park
and Professional Offices adjacent to David Low Way.
To achieve this aim a survey was conducted at Peregian Beach over the week-
end of 15th and 1 ih of March 2013.
Participants in the survey were approached at their residence and business. To
qualify for inclusion in the survey, the scope was that participants needed to be
residents, ratepayers and/or business operators of Peregian Beach. This scope
excluded visitors and tourists to the area.
Every opportunity was provided for the broader community to participate in the
survey with at least one return visit to those homes where residents were not
home on the initial call.
To further ensure the inclusion, an even cross section and a representative sam-
ple of the broader community of Peregian Beach interviewers were directed to
eight geographic areas within Peregian Beach.
All information was received under the provision that participants involved in the
qualitative and quantitative aspects of the research were protected by confidenti-
ality and anonymity.

Statistical Significance
The sample size of 100 completed interviews, the randomness of selection and
the diligence of the interviewers to include households and businesses from the
eight areas, provided a representative sample of the Peregian Beach community.
Due to this randomness of the selection of the sample and the size of the sample
in comparison to the total population, the totals in the sample are statistically valid
and provide a Confidence Interval of 95% indicating the ’true’ value of the results
is either +/- 2 5%.
Sample Coverage
The 2011 Census information for this area states a population of some 3500
permanent residents consisting of 1900 private dwellings.
o 100 completed interviews were obtained from residents, rate payers and
business operators
o 20 of those completed interviews included local business operators. These
included retailers, professional and service providers
o 2 of the business operators also resided at Peregian Beach

Sample Distribution
The sample was randomly selected from residents, ratepayers and business op-
erators of Peregian Beach. The boundaries of the sample catchment included
either side of David Low Way, from a northern point at the creek north of Wave
Crest Drive at Castaways Beach to the southern point at the roundabout at Emu
Mountain Road.
The catchment for the survey is consistent with the demographic areas of the
Australia Bureau of Statistics.
The street location of participants demonstrates a demographical cross section of
the Peregian Beach community.

Sample Distribution
This information provides a description of the distribution of participants within
the Peregian Beach area. The sample was randomly selected from residents,
ratepayers and business operators in Peregian Beach. The boundaries of the
sample catchment included either side of David Low Way, from a northern point
at the creek north of Wave Crest Drive at Castaways Beach to the southern point
at the roundabout at Emu Mountain Road.

Australia Bureau of Statistics.
The street location of participants indicates a geographical cross section of the
Peregian Beach community...
Sample Coverage
The 2011 Census information for this area states a population of some 3500
permanent residents consisting of 1900 private dwellings.
100 completed interviews were obtained of residents, rate payers
and business operators
20 of those completed interviews included local business operators
2 of the business operators also resided at Peregian Beach
Confidence Interval of Findings
The sample size of 100 completed questionnaires in a population of over 3500
residents, rate payers and business operators, will provide results that have a
Confidence Interval of 5%. Statistically speaking, this suggests results of each
question are considered reflective within + 2.5% or -2.5% of any ’real’ result if the
entire population was interviewed.

RESPONSE TO ASPECTS OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The ’Scenario Test’ described the location and aspects of the proposed develop-
ment that may be included. A location map and aerial photograph were provided to
the participants.
SHOW CARD A: (Location Map and Aerial Photograph of the site)
This private property, indicated here on this map, is considered for a proposed de-
velopment. It is located at the site previously occupied by the Peregian Beach
Bowls Club, 5-7 Rufous Street. The total area is about 6000 sq metres and is be-
hind the Community Centre car park and Professional Offices adjacent to David
Low Way.
In the following sections, respondents are asked to respond on a likert scale.
A likert scale is a scale measuring the degree to which people agree or disagree
with a statement, usually on a 3-, 5-, or 7-point scale
In this survey a 5-point scale was used.
Neither/Nor/Don’t Know are the responses from those participants that did not
have an opinion at all as in ’Don’t Know’ and those participants that were ambiva-
lent, ’did not care, either way’ and/ where not prepared to commit themselves and
’sat on the fence’.
Interviewers are trained and directed to ensure the participant does commit, how-
ever this is not always the end result.

6. CONCLUSION
When participants of the Community Study were asked for their level of support
for the concept of the Peregian Beach Market Place as shown to them on the
day with site maps, artistic impressions and photographs depicting the concept
of an IGA Marketplace store:
D 37% of participants indicated a positive response
D 63% of participants indicated a negative response.
When asked to indicate their level of support for a ’Peregian Beach Marketplace’
as depicted in the material the participants were shown on the day:
D 35% of participants indicated they would be supportive
D 10% of participants indicated a neither/nor or don’t know response
D 55% of participants indicated they would not be supportive
When asked to indicate what they believe the level of support from those local to
the area for a ’Peregian Beach Marketplace’ as depicted in the material the par-
ticipants were shown on the day:
D 29% of participants indicated that those local to the area would be sup-
portive
D 12% of participants indicated a neither/nor or don’t know response
D 59% of participants indicated that those local to the area would not be
supportive.
The shopping needs of participants from Peregian Beach for grocery and food
items appears not to be meet as 68% of participants do larger shops, once to
four times a month, with top ups. Of the 68%, 56% of participants indicate they
need to do four large shops a month with 88% of the larger shops taking place
outside the Peregian Beach precinct.
Participants indicate they do these larger shops at Peregian Springs Shopping
Centre (56%),and/or at Noosa Shopping Precinct (19%)and/or Coolum Village
(13%).A few participants (6%)did their large shop at Peregian Beach Village
Square.
Of the total participants, 26% do no large shops, shopping just as they need and
6% do not buy food or grocery items.

When participants were asked, unprompted, where did they shop more locally for
any type of shopping, the shopping centre they indicated they shopped at most
frequently, their ’top of mind’ response was Peregian Springs Shopping Centre
(45%)and thence Peregian Beach Village Shopping (28%).
However, in reviewing the shopping needs of the participants, an inconsistency
is noted with the participants’ responses when 60% of participants agreed that
’There is an abundance of retail, supermarket and convenience style shopping in
Peregian Beach that meets the needs of the community’. Particularly as only
28% of participants indicated they shop most frequently at Peregian Beach Vil-
lage Square and 88% indicated they do their large shops outside Peregian
Beach precinct.
In discussing shopping at Peregian Beach Village Square and mainly for top up
shopping, participants liked that it was close -
easy and handy; personal and
friendly and that they were keen to support local business. What participants did
not like about shopping at Peregian Beach Village Square was the issue of park-
ing and traffic.
This comment by participants is consistent with other participants’ comments
where participants (67%)did not agree that the current parking for residents and
visitors to Peregian Beach Village Square is more than adequate.
When participants were asked, unprompted and allowing multiple responses,
what items did they usually buy at Peregian Beach Village Square, they indicated
bread and bakery items; newspapers and stationery items; pharmaceutical
items; fresh fruit and vegetables, and alcohol beverages. Participants indicated
what currently was not available to them at the Peregian Beach Village Square
was fresh meat and chicken produce.
When asked if their support would change if the proposed convenience centre
included items read from a list, some 20% to 25% of participants indicated their
support would be more if items such as fresh meat and chicken; delicatessen
items; fresh seafood; continental, gourmet and speciality items, and fresh fruit
and vegetables were included.
Participants (72%)agreed the Peregian Beach Village Square was more of a
dining, entertainment and community activity focal point rather than a conven-
ience shopping centre.

While participants’ responses indicate they are keen to support local business,
62% of participants would not be supportive of the proposed development if an
opportunity for existing business like, Post Office, Pharmacy and/or Newagency
could expand into larger premises in the proposed development.
Participants (65%)indicate they would not be supportive of the proposed devel-
opment if it included a liquor and wine shop.
Participants (59%)indicate they would not be supportive of the proposal if it was
operating longer hours over seven days a week.
In testing scenarios while discussing shopping needs generally, and at the pro-
posed site, more participants than not, would support a proposed development
on the site particularly if:
o the opportunity was available to do their larger shops locally than go out-
side the area
o they could be assured that the convenience centre proposed would, at
the very least, provide a variety and quality of food and groceries at
competitive pricing
o the convenience centre proposed was operated by an IGA franchise ra-
ther than the large supermarket chains such as Coles, Woolworths, Aldi
etc..
The more supportive response for the questions when testing the scenarios was
consistent ranging from 41% to 44%.
The ’neither/nor/don’t know response when testing the scenarios was consistent
ranging from 20% to 28%.
The less supportive response for the questions when testing the scenarios was
consistent ranging from 28% to 38%.
When asked for their level of support for the concept as shown on the day,
o 37% of participants indicated a positive response
o 63% of participants indicated a negative response.

When asked to indicate their level of support for a ’Peregian Beach Marketplace’
as depicted in the material the participants were shown,
o 35% of participants indicated they would be supportive
o 10% of participants indicated a neither/nor or don’t know response
o 55% of participants indicated they would not be supportive
When asked to indicate what they believe the level of support from those local to

ticipants were shown,
o 29% of participants indicated that those local to the area would be sup-

o 12% of participants indicated a neither/nor or don’t know response
o 59% of participants indicated that those local to the area would not be
supportive.
In response to gauging levels of agreement to the following statements in re-
gards to the site, participants indicated some division.
’We need to smarten up the place (site being discussed); it is looking stressed,
old and tired.’
o 42% of participants agreed
o 12% of participants indicated a neither/nor or don’t know response
o 46% of participants did not agree
’The area of the now defunct Bowls Club area is becoming an eyesore and di-
minishes the perception of Peregian Beach as a vibrant, engaging community.’
o 35% of participants agreed
o 9% of participants indicated a neither/nor or don’t know response
o 56% of participants did not agree
In response to concepts of the proposed development, the overall distribution
was more supportive of the development of a convenience centre that provided
quality and variety of food products at costs similar to the IGA marketplace con-
cept stores, particularly if:
o it included a carefully planned mixed of consumer goods to provide opti-
mum benefit for both residents and visitors, and would complement exist-
ing businesses
o it was a single level, lower set building with bush-style landscaping ap-
propriate to the existing vegetation of the area with some 100 generous
size parking bays

D it had a proven track record in supporting locally produced goods and
services
D it was to provide up to 80 new full and part time employment opportuni-
ties.
The more supportive response for the above criteria was consistent ranging from
41% to 45%.
The ’neither/nor/don’t know response for the above criteria was consistent rang-
ing from 8% to 15%.
The less supportive response for the questions for the above criteria was consis-
tent ranging from 44% to 50%.
Reviewing current shopping behaviours would suggest there is a need for a bona
fide convenience centre including a supermarket. With 68% of participants re-
quired to do larger shops, for some participants (52%)having to do large shops
four times a month outside the Peregian Beach area. 6% of the 68% do larger
shops at Peregian Beach Village Square for any type of shopping, while 31 % of
participants do not do large shops and/or do not buy food or grocery items and
88% do their weekly/monthly larger shops outside the Peregian Beach precinct.
It is also of interest to note, that only 28% of participants indicating they shop
most frequently at Peregian Beach Village Square for any type of shopping.

7. RECOMMENDATIONS
It is appreciated that this Community Study was commissioned to ascertain the
level of support of the proposed development of a convenience centre on the site
discussed. It is also appreciated that the results of the study were to confirm the
perceptions of the proponent.
The results indicate that 63% of participants do not support the proposal as it
was presented to them on the day.
However, the Community Study does highlight some factors and inconsistencies
that could be explored.
For instance, it seems an interesting community dilemma that a proposed devel-
opment on a site that is no longer utilised; with a proposed concept that could fill
a genuine need of the community is not supported by that community?
Are there any further questions or information that needs to be presented to the
community so they could be better informed, namely:
D How would the shopping needs of the community be meet if there is cur-
rently no suitably zoned land available in the Peregian Beach precinct?
D It is appreciated that the results could indicate that more people in
Peregian Beach would prefer not to have a convenience centre, or is it
that the community has an agenda of how they may want the site devel-
oped?
D Is it that any alternative strategy for the proposed that is suitable and vi-
able?
D Is it appropriate that a large percentage (anticipated to be a total escape
expenditure of $1 0.6m in the first year of trading -
proposed as 2015) of
the community’s disposable income is spent outside the community?
D Is the community informed of the current and future interests and needs
of the very.local businesses it indicates it is keen to support and protect?
D Is it fair to say ’no’ to 80 full time and part time employment positions
when the 2011 Census Figures Unemployment figures for Australia were
5.6% and Peregian Beach 7.7%.
D Does the inconsistencies of the participants’ responses in identifying a
need for a local convenience centre, reflect a sentiment that there is op-
position to any further development in Peregian Beach?
Page 61
-
57-
o As these results are a ’snap shot’ of the current situation, what consid-
erations need to be planned for the future generations of residents at
Peregian Beach?
Answers to these questions may be necessary, for a community that indicates it
is not getting its general food and grocery needs meet within Peregian Beach
precinct and nor is there any potential for this; that it could be spending most of
their disposable income outside their community; that it is prepared to forgo the
opportunity for 80 full and part time employment positions, while indicating they
would prefer to do their larger shopping locally with a IGA franchise rather than a
larger supermarket chain.
These answers may provide information to be disseminated with a consultative
approach to the community, and perhaps increase support for the development
of a convenience centre on the proposed site.
