Peregian Village Market
Peregian Beach
Council Development: MCU13/0251

Dear Sir/Madam:

| write in support of the abovementioned development which | understand comprises of a small
scale supermarket and specialty retail stores. After viewing the advertised plans displayed at the
development site | feel it will add to the diversity of the Peregian village and would be a benefit to
the community. In support of the proposal | offer the following:

A proposed small scale supermarket will fill a much needed void in the Peregian Village.
With constant talks regarding the closing of the existing corner store situated in the
village, there will be a need for such a service especially from holiday makers and locals
with limited transport opportunities.

The development would complete the streetscape of the Peregian Village, while not being
intrusive of the village central it would allow subtle integration into the village by way of
the existing pedestrian crossing that already services the adjacent hotel on the western
side of David Low Way.

The proposed profile of the development is at a floor level lower than the existing
roadway. With resourceful landscaping and building design, the development will be
unobtrusive and the existing land form will work as an acoustic barrier to any noise
produced by the proposed market and retail activities.

The Peregian Village has become a thriving and sustainable hub that is enjoyed by the
community and tourists alike. Having the convenience of a market place that is accessible
by public transport and foot traffic would add to this appeal.

It will be in a location between existing commercial activities and will be of a smaller and
more workable scale than the proposed supermarket development that was proposed for
the existing Bowls Club site.

| tender the above reasoning without prejudice and feel strongly that the proposed development
will be an asset to the area. | predict there will be objections lodged against it and would hazard a
guess they will come from members of the community that always seem to protest before looking
into the potential benefits a development can provide. However in a case such as this, the
positive aspects that will be offered will far outweigh any negative issues (which could be easily
mitigated with sound management during the approval and design process) that may be raised.

Yours Faithfully,
