1. The beach is the focal point of all coastal towns. | believe a good idea would be to create a large pool enclosure on the beach
to create safe and protected swimming. Such a pool would be a huge and unique attraction. To take this idea further, one could
build a number of 'T' shaped groynes along the beach to reduce wave action and faciliate safer swimming as well as providing
wind breakes / shelters. Reeucing wave action would also protect against erosion, especially if sea levels rise. Such a project
would need to study sand current movemens but | am sure it coulkd be done. Such a project would draw millions more tourists
to the sunshine coast, including surfers if reefs were constructed to create well-formed waves. 2. Additional parking is
desperately needed and is the numer one development that would support the commercial distrcit immediately. At present,
peopel are deterred from visiting.

| gather there is some community concern re the sale of the caravan park and proposed development which seems likely to
adversely affect the character of the "village"... there seem to be too many higher priced accommodations and this would be one

Peregian Beach could become unique on the Sunshine Coast in developing a truly lovely little beachside community that is
untarnished by development and fast food outlets. The closing argument from a nutritional point, is that we are PROTECTING
our children.

The redevelopment of the square to date has been tasteful and useful. Please do not allow large chain stores to come in and ruin .

the people who live in peregian should be the ones deciding on what development in acceptable or not. it should not be decided
by business people and politicians out to make money. that don't live in the area. The people of peregian treasure the paradise
we have and are concerned with the ramifications of developments not in tune with the current character

We have a great variety of shops and services in Peregian Beach situated in a unique village setting. The only issue | can see is
that there is currently not enough parking in the area. | suggest that adding another 100 or so carparks to the village would be
most beneficial not only for the shop keepers but for the customers as well. | know of many people who would like to shop more
in the village but often struggle to find a carpark and in turn give up looking and drive on to coolum or Noosa. There is an area of
the park adjacent to the southern long term car park, that | believe would be a suitable location for these extra parking spaces.

The children and young people, families, couple and individuals need more options to be active and involved in creative and
social, physical activity. Computers, technology are so available and big stores are also already close to Peregian. Let get people
together, by continuing and improving on the community atmosphere that Peregian offers.

The council should purchase the Bowls Club land and gift it to the local community for community recreation.

The local community needs to have a vision of what Peregian could look like - what could happen in the Foreshore and the old
Bowls Club area, for example. The potential is huge! It is central to the way Peregian looks and feels in the next 50 years. The
health and wellbeing of every resident (and visitor) must be taken into account. We must ask the key question. What will provide
the people with the healthiest, happiest outcomes - it is NOT more shops. It is outdoor & indoor sporting and recreation facilities.
These are the things that bring a community together, bring families together, and keep everyone on the right track. Peregian is a
village

More open communication with clear identification of stakeholder intent being made public to the community at large. Define or
create measure of social values/wealth Define or create measure of unique character Define or create measures of stakeholder
compared with community - identify how many members of the community it takes to protect a character compared to a
stakeholder.
