Submission Re: PLANING APPLICATION MCU16/0044 & REC16/0009 Web:
www.peregianbeachcommunityhouse.org
Development Application for a Material Change and Reconfiguring a Lot at 253 & 255 David Low Way and 5-7 Rufous
Street Peregian Beach, described as Lot 1 on SP215942 and Lots 94 & 95 on SP137431.
Purpose
The purpose of this submission is twofold.
Firstly, to provide high level comment regarding the proposed development (as above) on behalf of the Peregian
Beach Community House (PBCH) Management Committee.
Secondly, as a means for the Management Committee to reiterate to Noosa Council, its strong interest in providing
more detailed input to the future planning and design of the proposed Community House, in conjunction with the
other Peregian Beach community groups and architects. It is expected that the Council will maintain regular contact
with and include the Management Committee whenever there is a new development, design change or comment
required regarding the new Community House and associated environment.
Background
The Peregian Beach Community House Management Committee has been managing the Community House and its
community activities and fundraising since its inception. It understands the purpose of the building and how integral
it is to the Peregian Beach wider community.
As a result of direct and on-going communication with the community, the Committee also understands the
direction that the Community House needs to take in the future in order to fully utilise the facility. The design of the
building and environment will therefore be a vital aspect of achieving this.
Whilst the design and usage of the new Community House of Stage 2 is the Management Committee’s primary
interest and involvement, it is also interested in the IT Hub of Stage 1. The commercial success, operation and
application of Stage 1 is integral to the overall success of both stages.
Comment
In general, the PBCH Management Committee is positive about the design of the new environment and strongly
believes it will become a valuable asset to Peregian Beach. The Committee appreciates the retention of significant
open and green space for recreational activity and believes that a good balance between open space and
commercial space has been achieved with the revised Master plans.
However, there are some fundamental design issues regarding the Community House that the Committee needs to
highlight for discussion with the Council and architects, before the final design is agreed and settled. These are
detailed below:
Community House Fundamental Design Issues (Refer Development Application Plan SD C.1.2)
The Committee believes that the office should be re-located to the front of the building and incorporated
into the reception area. When people enter the building, the office/reception area needs to be the first
contact that they have. Also, there is only one staff member to operate both areas.

There is a requirement for at least two potential lease areas in place of the single area shown

and the Committee believes they would be better located near the front of the building. The lessees Email:
may be
public facing businesses and therefore require ease of access. [email protected]
Sound proofing must be provided between the main halls (two or three as configured with partitions)Web: and
www.peregianbeachcommunityhouse.org
between the halls and the leased rooms. The partitioning needs to be of a sound proof material to prevent
the transmission of conflicting noise between the areas. The type of flooring also needs to be considered for
the same reason.
Noise is a significant issue within the existing Community House and has become an operational negative for
current hirers, and a deterrent to potential hirers which is limiting income.
Community House Facility Requirements
low voltage dimmable lighting,
security lighting to external of building,
security and CCTV system,
ceiling fans,
cooling and heating of the building in general and also for the sensitive electronic surveillance and IT
equipment,
security code keyless entry,
temperature and sound insulation in the walls and ceiling,
secure document storage,
television access and audio/video facilities in each of the leased halls,
state-of-the-art communications (e.g. fibre to the House for fast internet access),
an equipment room for possibly solar batteries and to house communications equipment,
several additional car parks,
no high windows that would require scaffolding to clean,
an automatic watering system for the green roof and garden/lawn areas.
Community House Considerations (for wider discussion)
possibly turning the two larger halls into three smaller rooms with partitions to provide greater flexibility,
and commercial return, (if this is not already the case)
possible water storage piped to Veggie Village,
possible area (room) (waiting, information) in the building showing memorabilia of the old club etc. and
information as to where to stay, shops, eating places, etc.
possible bore water supply.
Community House Queries (for council response)
car park access to the building seems to be via a lift – how will this work after hours?
car park access via stairs – will they be undercover?
how will the rear access work, particularly after hours?
would the council maintain the additional ponds and grassed areas? Maintenance costs would exceed the
PBCH budget?
what is the large shaded area between the lawn and the venue toilets/kitchen/pond?

The PBCH Management Committee looks forward to further pro-active involvement and consultation with the Noosa
Council and architects to ensure a best-fit design for the new Community House. Above all else this needs to be a
facility that is needed, desired, accepted and therefore fully utilised by the business and general community of
Peregian Beach.
