To the CEO, Sunshine Coast Council,

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

I would like to voice my opinion IN OBJECTION to the proposed commercial development in the open space recreation zoned area of Peregian Beach.

File Number: MCU13/0092

Name of Applicant – Multispan Australia

Postal Address – 5-7 Rufous St, Peregian Beach

Proposal – Integrated shopping complex development

 

The Key points to my OBJECTION are as follows:

·         The development takes away valuable recreation space which is zoned Open Space/Recreation in the Noosa Plan 2006 and the draft Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme (2012)

·         The development will adversely affect the community use of the current Tennis Courts, Community House, Kindergarten, Di Hurst Oval etc

·         The Sunshine Coast Open Space strategy 2011 identifies Peregian Beach as underprovided for with recreational parks (2011:35) and I object to the loss of this recreational land.

·         My family and our two young kids live on Gannet St and are horrified at the potential additional traffic volumes which a proposed Shopping Centre would bring. There would also be a huge potential risk to safety of pedestrians including children and students walking to and from bus stops on David Low Way.

·         The already very busy Woodland Drive/David Low Way intersection will suffer greatly increased traffic congestion and is our only exit from Gannet St.

·         I am very concerned about the additional levels of noise from additional traffic, commercial equipment and delivery trucks etc

·         The proposal will lead to unsafe customer parking along Residential areas of Woodland Drive, Gannet St,  Rufous St and is very likely to result in dangerous levels of risk to pedestrians.

·         The proposal will lead to additional levels of potential light pollution and is very likely to attract crime and nuisance/hooligans to a currently very safe family oriented area

·         The proposed commercial development duplicates the products and services of existing stores in the Peregian Village square and is not required . A new bigger supermarket will only result in closure of existing village square stores

 

I appeal to the council to retain the use of this zoned area as RECREATIONAL only and seek to upgrade/renew the recreational facilities, and NOT change to commercial use.

Please can you confirm receipt of this email and objection.

 

Please contact me on this email should you wish to discuss any of the above.

Best Regards,

 

Phil Storton
