Dear Mr Murphy,


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


I write opposing the approval of the above development application (DA).

My opposition is based on the following points:


1) Material Change of use Application contravenes the Noosa Town Plan & will
destroy our point of difference & the attraction of our village to holiday makers &
shoppers. The real essence of Peregian village, will be replaced by urban density
with scarce landscaping.

2) No Compliance with Noosa Council requirements with majority of the
accommodation proposed for Permanent Housing. Priced from $725,000 to
$850,000, this proposal hardly provides low cost visitor accommodation for the
growing needs of the local community. Peregian Beach is already surrounded by
new small lot housing developments that lack public amenity, open space & village
lifestyle. The motel development in particular is completely inappropriate for this
site, or any site in Peregian Beach for that matter. It is too dense and outside the
height restriction and should be rejected.

3) Setbacks in general & to the Rufous laneway in particular, impinge on Noosa’s
Master Plan for Rufous St renewal which is currently in progress, community
amenity values & the extensive community consultation process intended to activate
the Bush to Beach pathway upgrade & encourage increased useage.
