File No:MCU/0092
Name of Application:Multispan Australia
Postal Address of Land: 5-7 Rufous Street, Peregian Beach
Proposal:Integrated shopping complex development

I wish to make a submission on the referenced development application, as follows:
I object to the commercial use of the Peregian Bowls Club area zoned Open Space/Recreation as determined in both The Noosa Plan 2006 and the draft Sunshine Planning Scheme (2012).
This development will adversely affect the consistent land and community use of the current Tennis Courts, Community House, Kindergarten, Veggie Village and Di Hurst and surrounding residents.

The Sunshine Coast Council Open Space Strategy 2011 identifies that “Peregian Beach locality area is generally under provided for with recreational parks”(2011:35) and we object to the loss of this recreational lad for the current and future residents of Peregian Beach and wider catchment to commercial development.

I further object to the theory that a generic shopping area is what our community needs. My parents retired to Peregian Beach from Sydney in 1980. My own family have holidayed in Peregian every January since 1989 so we have witnessed first hand how Peregian has managed to grow and prosper over the past 24 + years without a generic shopping precinct.

My family of 6 relocated permanently from Sydney to Peregian Beach in April 2013. People moving into the area creates growth and prosperity and the way forward for Peregian Beach is and always will be to maintain its uniqueness of community and village.
