RE: OBJECTION TO MCU 16/0153 REC16/0041
           AT 215 DAVID LOW WAY, PEREGIAN BEACH
By local resident Bruce Lloyd


I would like to formally object to the proposed development on several grounds.


Alterations to the existing Noosa Town Plan means that the unique character of one of
Noosa’s small Coastal Villages would be permanently changed by a proposal for dense
housing sprawl on land set aside for significant community purpose. Open Space Recreation
zoned land is incredibly valuable to both the character of the regional town and as public
amenity to drive a diverse economy for the local business centre.

Large concession was given to the owner of the land for approval to build a Supermarket
complex on the Open Space Recreation zoned property.

I object to the inclusion of the housing estate in this proposal, but in particular the lack of
visitor accommodation being provided as required by the Noosa Plan.


The Town has many new small lot housing developments being built around it that drawn on
Peregian Beach for their public amenity and open space. The impact on the economy needs
to be questioned.


I do not support the process of breaking up the one parcel of land into staged developments.
This is one application and should be rejected or approved as one application.


The proposal of a small lot housing estate as shown in this proposal would only put more
pressure onto the existing village public amenities and provide absolutely no contribution to
the character of the Commercial Centre. The outcome would make it feel just like any other
suburb which will endanger the unique character that attracts visitors & sustains the local
economy.


It is understood the previous Development Approval on the site has lapsed, which
provided purely for visitor accommodation.

The proposed development shows no affinity to Rufus Street, and the laneway, which is not
a desirable town planning outcome. The successful Community Consultation and Master
plan process, undertaken recently by Noosa Council, has been totally ignored.

The proposed development is not consistent with the Rufous Street Master Plan for the
locality, which has been adopted by the Council, following extensive community
consultation. This master plans seeks to promote the laneway and provide for a pedestrian
friendly entry point and high level of visual amenity at this location. Also, there is no
provision in the development for pedestrian access or a cycle way through the parkland to
the west.


The proposed use of fill & the extremely small rear setback of the dwellings to the north
Boundary would have a negative impact on the existing sensitive natural vegetation and
increase surface water flow.


The impact of visitors on Rufous Street would be detrimental, as the possibility exists for asy
parking in Rufous Street rather than use the IGA entrance and limited visitor parking in the
new development.


The Stage 1 Supermarket road entrance off Sandpiper Lane is already congested by the layout
of the supermarket car park entrance/exit. The traffic report in this proposed stage 2 works
fails to include the impact of the Supermarket traffic flow on this proposal. This could be very
detrimental to the IGA & new shopping centre patronage even before taking in the additional
traffic entering David Low Way which is already proving to be a problem at times.


The proposed development significantly conflicts with the Noosa Plan for the following
reasons:
      - The proposed development being located within the Open Space Recreation Zone
         does not contribute to the desired lifestyle of residents because it does not offer a
         variety of passive and active recreational experiences that are conducive to
         community interaction and wellbeing;
      - The proposed development seeks to provide a small lot housing development and in
         particular, Multiple Housing Type 4 – Conventional which is not a consistent use in
         the Open Space Recreation Zone;
      - The proposed development seeks to provide Visitor Accommodation Type 4,

Page 5

         but not in association with Visitor Accommodation Type 2, and therefore is not
         consistent with the Open Space Recreation Zone;
      - The proposed development does not protect the Peregian Beach caravan park site
        for low cost visitor accommodation;
      - Visitor Accommodation Type 4 is being proposed on the land, but is not integrated
        as part of a caravan park use or other form of budget accommodation;
      - The proposed buildings and structures are not designed and sited to be attractive,
        comfortable and accessible to the public or provide suitable landscape treatments
        and amenities, conducive to community interaction and convenience and public
        safety;
      - The proposed development is not consistent with the reasonable expectations of
        residents in the locality, given the Peregian Beach Caravan site is to primarily
        provide for budget visitor accommodation, which is in the public interest;
      - There are no grounds provided that are sufficient to overcome the level of conflict
        identified with the Noosa Plan.



The proposed development application should be refused for the above reasons.
