The IGA Supermarket and the four specialty shops (the IGA supermarket
development) which was subsequently built is a positive benefit to Peregian Beach.


2. The Current Development Application
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:
Multiple Housing of 3 types – 88 Beds (or Persons)

                                                                                         !2
