                     Mr Patrick Murphy,
                     The Assessment Officer,
                     Noosa Shire Council
                     [email protected]

                     Dear Mr Murphy,

                                 Objection to the Scanlon Group Development Application
                                         215-219 David Low Way, Peregian Beach
                                                MCU 16/0153 & REC16/0041

                     I am a permanent resident in Peregian Beach and object strongly to this
                     development application (DA).

                     My primary objection is on the grounds that the DA fails on numerous counts
                     to meet the requirements for Open Space Recreation set out in the Noosa
                     Plan, the Eastern Beaches Locality Code and the specific requirements for
                     this site. The community has a reasonable expectation that the Noosa Plan
                     will be substantially adhered to and there are no compelling reasons put
                     forward in the application that would warrant this expectation being
                     compromised.

                     Further to the above, I note the following:

                          -    The development seeks to provide predominantly small lot, high
                               density housing, but with relatively large homes, potentially priced
                               above the average price for Peregian Beach. This type of
                               accommodation is completely out of character with the local
                               environment.
                          -    The proposed visitor accommodation is a small proportion of the total
                               development and is staged subsequent to the housing. It is unlikely
                               that it will be low cost.
                          -    Traffic congestion on the David Low Way has increased materially
                               since the IGA was opened on the site. A major cause of this is the flow
                               of pedestrians between Peregian Beach Village and the development.
                               If the development was to proceed, the resulting heavy traffic
                               congestion would cause a significant reduction in amenity in the village
                               and an accident black spot.
                          -    The very high volume of imported fill material proposed would cause
                               major environmental problems during construction, including numerous
