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.
