Re 5-7 Rufous Street Peregian Beach
Integrated Shopping complex development

I wish to make a submission on the referenced development application as follows:

We 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 Coast 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 oval and surrounding residents
The Sunshine Coast Council Open Space strategy 2011 identifies that “Peregian beach locality area is generally underprovided for with recreational parks” (2011:35) and we object loss of this recreational land for the current and future residents of Peregian beach and wider catchment to commercial development.
We further object on the grounds:

That there is no demonstrated need for further shops in the village of Peregian beach. There are shopping centres at Peregian Springs and Coolum and these can adequately provide for all the shopping needs of Peregian beach and surrounding residents.

Since the development of Peregian springs estate the traffic in Peregian village shopping centre has increased markedly and is now often dangerous for beachgoers and pedestrians and further development will only increase this risk. Current road structures and speed limits have failed to adequately manage the current traffic flows and an increase from this and the caravan park development site will make it extremely difficult and dangerous.
