Dear Mr Murphy,
File No MCU 16/153 REC 16/0041
Postal Address 215 David Low Way, PEREGIAN BEACH
Proposed Development Multiple Housing-Type 4, Visitor Accommodation
Objection to the Scanlon Group Development Proposal
1) This Material Change of use Application contravenes the Noosa Town Plan and will
destroy Peregian’s point of difference and the attraction of our village for residents,
holiday makers and shoppers. The Caravan Park amenity, that was the real ‘essence’ of
Peregian village, will be replaced by urban density with scarce landscaping to soften the
architectural bulk and concrete structures.
2) Setbacks in general and to the Rufous laneway in particular, impinge on Noosa’s Master
Plan for Rufous St Renewal which is currently in progress. Community amenity values
and the extensive community consultation process intended to activate the Bush to
Beach pathway upgrade and encourage increased use have been ignores. The leafy
ambience planned for both Rufous Laneway and Pocket Park to encourage parking and
pedestrian access to the village would be greatly compromised by the 2m proximity and
7m height of the proposed Reed & Wallum buildings, on top of whatever level of fill is
added to natural ground level.

3) Significant and continuous Noise & Disruption to homes along David Low Way, adjoining
streets, laneway, PB Hotel, Hardware store, business and private premises in the vicinity
of the roadways and roundabout is guaranteed. The impact will be to the detriment of
acoustic and visual qualities, lifestyle, holiday village ambience and business, especially
the al fresco dining/coffee shops that all enjoy fresh air and ocean sounds.
4) Other concerns include density of buildings and infrastructure within the precinct;
Little provision of scarce green space/vegetation/shade, preferred orientation to
sunlight and natural breezes, the provision of public access pathway between two story
buildings, with little to recommend passive surveillance, particularly at night. Light
pollution is a further issue as every new light bulb impacts adversely on Peregian’s
disappearing night sky, particularly of concern with the density planned for this site.
5) So many missed opportunities to work with community in consultation with Noosa
Council’s Master Plan for Rufous St and the adjoining laneway to add to the amenity.
The north western corner’s existing vegetation could have seen the creation of green
space/parkland to embellish the precinct for visitors and local community with potential
to make genuine connections between Rufous St /laneway with this development.
Instead, it separates itself from the ‘village feel’, in fact opposes the local residential
community and village activities associated with the function and interaction of Veggie
Village, Tennis Club, Kindergarten and Community House, all nearby neighbours of the
planned development.
6) This proposal conflicts with community values, endorsed by all who reside there and
those who choose this relaxed pedestrian location, where thongs, even bare feet are the
norm. It delivers instead, undesirable urban density and a city lifestyle that’s
aesthetically at odds with Peregian’s much sought after open space linkages, relaxed
village character and community engagement.
I urge Noosa Council to protect and retain the village of Peregian Beach, to stand strong
behind the intent of the Noosa Town Plan and refuse this Development Application.
