PM Submission Object - Darren Tindale - MCU16/0153 & REC16/0041

                         In addition here, in order to obtain the Council’s previous approval, although it
                         should be stated that no attempt was made to get community approval, this
                         same developer agreed with conditions which kept the then proposed
                         development in compliance with the Town Plan (See above). Now that
                         developer, six years later and having done nothing with the approval, proposes
                         another development in conflict with the Noosa Plan. Once again the developer
                         wants to change the rules for its financial benefit and not for the benefit of the
                         Peregian Beach community.

                         This DA proposes only 20 visitor beds in the Hotel/Motel. It does propose a
                         further 12 apartments designated as “multiple and visitor” which the developer
                         proposes to make available for permanent residents although whether this on a
                         lease or sale basis is unknown. All of the 88 beds in the Multiple Housing are
                         proposed to be for permanent residents contrary to the Noosa Plan and the
                         previous, now lapsed, approval.

                         I agree with the comment in the Information Request at page 12 of 13 “the
                         limited range of visitor accommodation proposed in conjunction with the
                         primary use of the site for permanent residential living remains a significant
                         concern.”

                         This concern is increased by the fact that the commercial building, which the
                         developer replaced with the IGA supermarket, provided for visitor
                         accommodation. Now this DA provides for less visitor accommodation on the
                         entire site than was originally sanctioned by the Planning and Environment
                         Court approval of 12 February 2010.

                         I have serious concerns about the density, site cover, gross floor area,
                         planting area and plot ratio having regard to the limitations in the Specific
                         Outcomes for the Eastern Beaches Locality (Semi-Attached Housing Zone).
                         These calculations should be based on a site area which excludes the land
                         dedication included in the Court Order approval (Appeal 25847 of 2008)
                         but which does not exclude the land associated with the Shopping Centre
                         approval.
                         4. Staging
                         The Sprout Architects Staging Plan shows that the developer proposes:-
                         Stage 1 = Multiple Housing of 3 types
                         Stage 2 = Hotel/Motel

                         Given, the location of Stage 1 in a swampy area overlooking wetlands, at least 6
                         metres below and behind the Peregian Beach Hotel to the east and the IGA
                         supermarket to the south, the developer’s suggested marketing of these houses
                         at $725,000 to $800,000 must raise real doubts as to whether or not any of
                         these houses will be built. This is especially the case if the developer requires a
                         60 percent pre-commitment before commencing construction. Council, of
                         course, could not consider the proposed pricing of these houses as low cost or
