                 Noosa’s logo ‘Different by Nature’ by altering design or lowering the amount of fill to protect
                 the invaluable amenity of open space & ‘community vistas’.

                 8) Other concerns include density of buildings & infrastructure within the precinct, the
                 provision of scarce green space/vegetation/shade, preferred orientation to sunlight & 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.

                 9) So many missed opportunities to work with community in consultation with Noosa Council’s
                 Master Plan for Rufous St & 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 & 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 & village activities associated with the
                 function & interaction of Veggie Village, Tennis Club, Kindergarten & Community House, all
                 nearby neighbours of the planned development.

                 This proposal conflicts with community values, endorsed by all who reside & those who choose
                 this relaxed pedestrian location, where thongs, even bare feet are the norm. It delivers instead,
                 undesirable urban density & city lifestyle that’s aesthetically at odds with Peregian’s much
                 sought after open space linkages, relaxed village character & community engagement.

                 I urge Noosa Council to protect & retain the village of Peregian Beach, to stand strong behind
                 the intent of the Noosa Town Plan & refuse this Development Application.
