                 Dear Mr Murphy,


                                       Submission in opposition to the Development Application
                                                     MCU 16/0153 & REC16/0041


                 I write to oppose the approval of the above development application (DA). The grounds for my
                 opposition are listed below.

                 1. History
                 The site, on which this development is proposed, was part of a caravan park which existed in
                 Peregian Beach from 1964. The current developer excluded permanent caravan residents from
                 the site and then claimed that the caravan park was not commercially viable. For this reason, in
                 2009, the developer sought approval to build a commercial building on the David Low Way part
                 of the site and two unit blocks each of 16 apartments and 30 of “beach shacks” behind the
                 commercial building and the Peregian Beach Hotel. This was agreed to by the developer and
                 the Council at a mediation.

                 However, the developer was not satisfied with what he had agreed to and in 2011 went back to
                 the Planning and Environment Court to vary his agreed plans.
                 The development which the developer had had approved by the Planning and Environment
                 Court on 24 January 2012 was not economically viable. Apparently the developer was unable
                 to sell any of the “beach shacks” off the plan and the proposed mini-supermarket, approved as
                 part of that approval, was physically non-viable. With no pre-commitment the developer did
                 not proceed.

                 Subsequently, in 2013 the developer submitted a new development application (for the area
                 where the commercial building was approved) for a supermarket and four specialty shops, this
                 time, after discussion with the Peregian Beach community. This proposal, was supported by
                 PBCAI and the Peregian Beach community and was approved by Noosa Council on 29 May
                 2014. It was a significant improvement on what the developer had previously had approved.
