PM Submission Object - Peter Friis MCU16/0153 & REC16/0041

PLEASE SEND IN SUBMISSIONS TO COUNCIL PRIOR TO THE FINAL DATE OF
267TH APRIL 2017

The balance of the caravan park site, after the IGA supermarket development, is
what the developer is currently seeking approval to develop.

Here it is important to reiterate the written advice to the pre-lodgement meeting
held on 14 December 2016 (between Council and the developer):

The Open Space Recreation zone in Peregian Beach specifically seeks to
protect and retain the site for low cost visitor accommodation needs
reflective of the site’s previous use as a caravan park, but also acknowledges
that a range of visitor accommodation may be provided where integrated
with budget accommodation. There is no support given to permanent
residents on the site.

It is noted that the current approval included only visitor accommodation,
with no permanent resident accommodation proposed. This approved
development was supported by Council through an appeal process as it was
acknowledged that it included low to mid cost visitor accommodation being
a reasonable alternative to the Planning Scheme’s intent to retain the
caravan park.

It is considered the current proposal does not meet the Planning Scheme’s
intent for the site as there is a lack of and a limited range of visitor
accommodation proposed.......

The DA does not reflect this advice.

The other thing to mention here is the Planning and Environment Court

sanctioned approval of 12 February 2010 of the now lapsed DA referred to

above, At item 3 it stated:
The units shall operate in accordance with the defined use of Visitor
accommodation — Type 4 Conventional’ in the Noosa Plan, which provides
for short term visitor accommodation. The units shall not be used for the
purpose of permanent residential accommodation, with the exception of
two manager/caretaker’s units. The Community Management Statement
for any or all Bodies Corporate having control of the development, or any
part thereof, shall incorporate this requirement.”

The DA is totally in conflict with this approval as can be seen below:

The proposal:
