PM Submission Object - Joanne Case - MCU16/0153 & REC16/0041

I query the contribution the developer will be required to make, if any, to the rectification
of this pedestrian access and the extent of any delay in the lighting and development of this
pedestrian access, which is supposedly underway at present.

6. Traffic
The DA proposes Carparking & Visitor Carparking of 115 space in total
        67 with the Houses & 37 with the Hotel/Motel
        4 in the west of the centre of the ring road
        4 on the southside of the ring road behind the IGA
        3 outside the security gate of the Motel.

This will result in an increase of 115 vehicles by the number of vehicular movements per
day over Sandpiper Lane with a considerable number of these increasing the use of the
Peregian Beach roundabout for vehicles going both north and south. This will add to the
number of vehicular movements per day over Sandpiper Drive arising from the IGA
Supermarket development without any enhancement of the ability of Sandpiper Lane to
cope with the number of vehicular movements per day.

The David Low traffic at Sandpiper Lane and the Peregian Beach roundabout is already very
heavy and PBCAI questions the ability of this section of David Low Way to carry such an
increase of traffic without creating difficulties.

7. Noise
The air‐conditioning and refrigeration plant for the IGA are mounted on the roof of the IGA
store will be a source of noise for the residents of the Hotel/Motel. There will also be noise
from the IGA loading dock.
The air‐conditioning and refrigeration plant for the Peregian Beach Hotel are mounted on
the rear of the Hotel. This will be will be a source of noise for the residents of the Reed
Houses who will be 6 metres below the ground level of the Peregian Beach Hotel.

I consider that the developer should be required to submit a noise mitigation plan agreed
between the Peregian Beach Hotel and the developer with a formal commitment by each
party to implement the plan, prior to any proposed development being considered by
Council. The implementation of the plan is to be certified by a suitably qualified and
independent acoustic consultant. It will be too late if Council approves the DA and the
Peregian Beach Hotel and the developer cannot reach agreement.

8. The Vista from David Low Way
It appears that the Hotel/Motel will not obscure the vista of the western mountains from
David Low Way. This vista needs to be protected. The accommodation units will be behind
and below the Peregian Beach Hotel by about 6m and, therefore, will not be visible from
David Low Way but it is important that they do not exceed the height allowed under the
Noosa Plan especially along Rufous Lane.

9. Sprout Architects Site Sections shows a 12m height above natural ground level especially
for Lot 12 which would appear to be grossly excessive.
