Subject: Review of submissions received
A total of 78 submissions have been received during the public notification period from 30 January
2016 to 10 February 2016, with 4 late submissions also being considered. The public notification
period began with a public meeting held at Peregian Beach Community House, which was well
attended by about 110 people.
A number of submissions were received from the general public, local community and sporting groups
such as the Peregian Beach Business Association Inc., the Peregian Beach Community Association, the
Rufous Street Community Collective, Peregian Beach Community Kindergarten, as well as
neighbouring land holders and developers in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development.
The majority of the submissions received were from the general public; with some of the submissions
received being prepared by professional consultants on behalf of interested land holders and
developers. Having regard to all of the submissions received there is overwhelming support for the
Draft Master Plan.
While the question of commercial viability has been raised by some submitters, this is a matter for the
Council and is not a relevant planning consideration. Despite this, it is noted that a letter of support
has been received from a local company expressing interest in leasing some space within the IT
Enterprise Digital Hub (Digital Hub). This indicates that there is some support for the proposal and
provides some confidence about undertaking the development. Expressions of interest from
prospective tenants would most likely be obtained before proceeding with this part of the
development.
The key issues that arise from the submissions received have been considered in the table below.
