                         However, the developer was not satisfied with what he had agreed to and in
                         2011 went back to the Planning and Environment Court to vary his agreed
                         plans.
                         The development which the developer had had approved by the Planning and
                         Environment Court on 24 January 2012 was not economically viable.
                         Apparently the developer was unable to sell any of the “beach shacks” off the
                         plan and the proposed mini-supermarket, approved as part of that approval,
                         was physically non-viable. With no pre-commitment the developer did not
                         proceed.

                         Subsequently, in 2013 the developer submitted a new development application
                         (for the area where the commercial building was approved) for a supermarket
                         and four specialty shops, this time, after discussion with the Peregian Beach
                         community. This proposal, was supported by PBCAI and the Peregian Beach
                         community and was approved by Noosa Council on 29 May 2014. It was a
                         significant improvement on what the developer had previously had approved.

                         The IGA Supermarket and the four specialty shops (the IGA supermarket
                         development) which was subsequently built is a positive benefit to Peregian
                         Beach.


                         2. The Current Development Application
                         The balance of the caravan park site, after the IGA supermarket development, is
                         what the developer is currently seeking approval to develop.

                         Here it is important to reiterate the written advice to the pre-lodgement
                         meeting held on 14 December 2016 (between Council and the developer):
                              The Open Space Recreation zone in Peregian Beach specifically seeks to
                              protect and retain the site for low cost visitor accommodation needs
                              reflective of the site’s previous use as a caravan park, but also acknowledges
                              that a range of visitor accommodation may be provided where integrated
                              with budget accommodation. There is no support given to permanent
                              residents on the site.
                              It is noted that the current approval included only visitor accommodation,
                              with no permanent resident accommodation proposed. This approved
                              development was supported by Council through an appeal process as it was
                              acknowledged that it included low to mid cost visitor accommodation being
                              a reasonable alternative to the Planning Scheme’s intent to retain the
                              caravan park.
                              It is considered the current proposal does not meet the Planning Scheme’s
                              intent for the site as there is a lack of and a limited range of visitor
                              accommodation proposed…….
                         The DA does not reflect this advice.
