10. Pathway through the development
It is proposed to provide a public pathway linking Rufous Lane with the IGA and the Motel
and through the Supermarket site to both Sandpiper Lane and David Low Way (via the lift).
This pathway is desirable if the DA is approved.

11. Sprout Architects Ground Floor Hotel – MPR? Meal Preparation Room?
I do not understand why the change from “Motel” to “Hotel” or whether or not this has any
significance.

12. Sprout Architects Reed House Section Analysis
I consider that the amount of solar access and ventilation is limited and inappropriate
according to this analysis. The number of hours of solar access that these windows and
open spaces will receive is not clear. The apparent inadequacy is caused by the developer’s
attempt to maximize the density and ground coverage of the site.


13. The Reed Beach Houses ‐ secondary dwelling units
While I realize that the developer has provided a physical linkage from each secondary
dwelling to the main dwelling unit, the fact still remains that the secondary dwelling can be
locked off and separately occupied. If this occurs the secondary dwelling will require a
separate carpark which will not be available if the present DA is approved.

I submit that the secondary dwelling should either be removed in its entirety or, at very
least, the associated kitchen and living area should not be approved.

The current DA proposes that these Reed Beach Houses will be for permanent residents
and with 2 persons sharing each of four bedrooms that could result in 80 permanent
residents in the Reed Beach House alone.

As stated in the Information Request at page 9 of 13
        “The proposed land use is a substantial variation from that which has previously
        been approved on the site or is supported under the Open Space Recreation Zone. As
        the proposed style of development is more consistent with that expected to be found
        within the nearby Semi‐Attached Housing Zone it is considered that the development
        should be compatible to both the Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions for the
        Eastern Beaches Locality related to the Semi‐Attached Housing Zone and the existing
        built form and established character within Peregian Beach.

COMMENT: in the my opinion, the design for the Reed Beach Houses is upside down. The
bedrooms should be on the ground floor and the living areas on the first floor. This would
enable the living areas to have greater solar access and, if the secondary dwelling units are
removed, give them the possibility of some outlook, which is not available with the current
design.
