                 Essence Hotel/(Motel) & Conference Centre – 40 beds
                        The developer proposes to develop and run the hotel with 20 visitor accommodation
                        rooms and 12 apartments (4 x 1 bedroom and 8 x 2 bedroom) which are described as
                        “multiple and visitor”. (40 persons). The 12 apartments are proposed for PERMANENT
                        RESIDENTS.
                        The Hotel will apparently employ 15 people (full-time and part-time) including
                        conference facilitators. The Conference room is small and apparently will seat 40. 40 Car
                        parks are proposed with all bar 3 (Visitor parking?) under the Hotel and behind a
                        security gate.

                 3. Lack of compliance with the Noosa Plan

                 PBCAI’s Objection to the DA is firstly based on its lack of compliance with the Noosa Plan Open
                 Space Recreation zone requirements. PBCAI specifically seeks to protect and retain the site for
                 low cost visitor accommodation reflective of the site’s previous use as a caravan park.

                 The Noosa Plan resulted from a community consultation process and was subsequently
                 approved by the State Government. It should not lightly be ignored by a developer being
                 granted an approval which significantly conflicts with the Plan.

                 In addition here, in order to obtain the Council’s previous approval, although it should be stated
                 that no attempt was made to get community approval, this same developer agreed with
                 conditions which kept the then proposed development in compliance with the Town Plan (See
                 above). Now that developer, six years later and having done nothing with the approval,
                 proposes another development in conflict with the Noosa Plan. Once again the developer
                 wants to change the rules for its financial benefit and not for the benefit of the Peregian Beach
                 community.

                 This DA proposes only 20 visitor beds in the Hotel/Motel. It does propose a further 12
                 apartments designated as “multiple and visitor” which the developer proposes to make
                 available for permanent residents although whether this on a lease or sale basis is unknown. All
                 of the 88 beds in the Multiple Housing are proposed to be for permanent residents contrary to
                 the Noosa Plan and the previous, now lapsed, approval.
