File No:MCU/0092
Name of Application:Multispan Australia
Postal Address of Land: 5-7 Rufous Street, Peregian Beach
Proposal:Integrated shopping complex development

I wish to make a submission on the referenced development application, as follows:
I 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 Planning Scheme (2012).
This development will adversely affect the consistent land and community use of the current Tennis Courts, Community House, Kindergarten, Veggie Village and Di Hurst 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”(2011:35) and we object to the loss of this recreational lad for the current and future residents of Peregian Beach and wider catchment to commercial development.

I further object to the commercial development of the area on the grounds that we already have enough supermarkets in close proximity to Peregian Beach. Peregian  Beach already has a  post office, pharmacy, newsagent and two bakery’s. We also have a wonderful variety of small boutique business’s.

Peregian Beach needs more open spaces, recreational and sporting areas. There are many ways to enhance an area and bring more people into that area than the lure of pushing a shopping trolley around yet another supermarket. Foresight and vision please councillors!
