                     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.
