PM Submission Object - Robyn Moore MCU16/0153 & REC16/0041

                 I agree with the comment in the Information Request at page 12 of 13 “the limited range of
                 visitor accommodation proposed in conjunction with the primary use of the site for permanent
                 residential living remains a significant concern.”

                 This concern is increased by the fact that the commercial building, which the developer
                 replaced with the IGA supermarket, provided for visitor accommodation. Now this DA provides
                 for less visitor accommodation on the entire site than was originally sanctioned by the Planning
                 and Environment Court approval of 12 February 2010.

                 I have serious concerns about the density, site cover, gross floor area, planting area and plot
                 ratio having regard to the limitations in the Specific Outcomes for the Eastern Beaches
                 Locality (Semi-Attached Housing Zone). These calculations should be based on a site area
                 which excludes the land dedication included in the Court Order approval (Appeal 25847 of
                 2008) but which does not exclude the land associated with the Shopping Centre approval.

                 4. Staging
                 The Sprout Architects Staging Plan shows that the developer proposes:-
                 Stage 1 = Multiple Housing of 3 types
                 Stage 2 = Hotel/Motel

                 Given, the location of Stage 1 in a swampy area overlooking wetlands, at least 6 metres below
                 and behind the Peregian Beach Hotel to the east and the IGA supermarket to the south, the
                 developer’s suggested marketing of these houses at $725,000 to $800,000 must raise real
                 doubts as to whether or not any of these houses will be built. This is especially the case if the
                 developer requires a 60 percent pre-commitment before commencing construction. Council, of
                 course, could not consider the proposed pricing of these houses as low cost or budget
                 accommodation. While this is the developer’s risk, it has a bearing on the completion of the
                 proposed Stage 2 with the visitor accommodation.

                 Therefore, the completion of Stage 2, which contains the developer’s limited commitment to
                 visitor accommodation must be seriously doubted.

                 I ask that Council consider the sincerity of the developer in providing visitor accommodation
                 when it is left to Stage 2 and the developer’s record to date of having built no visitor
                 accommodation since 2009.

                 5. Disruption to Peregian Village and surrounding areas during construction if this DA is
                 approved
                 5.1 Engineering Services Report – Page 5 in Response 2B states:-

                 “There will be earthworks required to facilitate construction of stormwater treatment facilities,
                 sanitary drainage and allow for an aesthetically pleasing and functional built form. There is little
                 opportunity for fill material to be won on site therefore most of the fill material will need to be
                 imported”.
