No: MCU13/0092
Name of Applicant: Multispan Australia
Postal Address of Land: 5-7 Rufous Street, Peregian Beach
Proposal: Integrated Shopping complex development
 
We wish to make a submission on the referenced development application, as follows:
 
We 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 Coast Planning Scheme (2012).
 
This development will adversely affect the consistent land and community use of the current Tennis Courts, Community House, Kindergarten, Community Garden and Di Hurst Oval 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 and we object to losing this recreational precinct for current and future residents of Peregian Beach and the wider catchment to commercial development.
 
We further object to the proposed development as it will directly impact our residence at 10 Woodland Drive by increasing the volume of traffic in Rufous Street, Woodland Drive, David Low Way and other nearby streets. It will increase risks for pedestrians and children, including at the kindergarten and students accessing school buses at David Low Way bus stops. Furthermore, the Woodland Drive and David Low intersection will suffer greatly increased traffic congestion and safety issues will be a major problem, as this is our only exit from the area. This intersection is already difficult to negotiate at peak times and will be impossible with ‘shopping centre traffic’ added to the volume.
 
The development proposal will also detrimentally impact the area by increasing noise levels. It will also affect amenity and character of the recreational and community area which we live in.
 
We do not need a second retail area in Peregian Beach. There are ample Coles’ supermarkets nearby in Peregian Springs and Coolum and most food and utility items can already be purchased at various outlets in the Peregian Village Square shopping and dining precinct. We want to preserve the unique nature of our community for current and future families. Businesses in Peregian Square will be adversely affected as shoppers will not walk across David Low Way to do further shopping and dining after visiting the proposed supermarket.
 
We are concerned about run-off water from large areas of concrete and also cleaning products, oil spills, chemical spills, etc which will result from increased vehicles and industrial strength cleaning products used for sanitation/ cleaning of shopping centre. These could also affect the Community Veggie Garden and the fresh springs located nearby and  interfere with organic nature of the produce.
 
Finally, the unique nature of ‘our village’ will be forever lost if this development is approved...we do not want more shops. We want recreational space for all to enjoy...recreational space that cannot be regained once the proposed development goes ahead. 
 
Yours sincerely,
 
Michael and Ingrid Talbot
