application. At the very least, the Scanlon development application should include a pedestrian
overpass to replace the crossing at IGA to alleviate the traffic bottle-neck in both directions of DLW.

- Services, ecology, water and noise issues. | have already mentioned the issue of noise from the IGA
loading dock which impacts us now. This will only get worse with the increased amount of traffic and
residents in the proposed development application. Not only resident cars, but the ongoing service
trucks from cleaners to garbage collection. Another major concern of mine as a resident of DLW
backing onto the national park (wallum), is the displacement of water during rain/flooding. The water
table is very close to the surface in this area, and the proposed development area is mostly on swamp
(as indicated on the plans) which feeds into Lake Weyba and supports a diverse eco-system. With the
proposed retaining walls for the development, no consideration has been given to where the natural
water courses will be diverted. In times of heavy rainfall, our backyard floods quite rapidly. This will
only get worse once a development of this size occurs as the water will naturally find it's own way
downhill (south) - towards our residential area. We also have swamp wallabies and other wildlife
including many bird species which will be threatened by over-development as proposed. Tony Scanlon
told me himself, that the trees were of no consequence & that they would be replaced with other
plantings. This is not acceptable! As a local, | do not want the natural watercourses & wallam
destroyed by the unnecessary development of a permanent housing estate!

- Non-compliance with Council requirements: density, site cover, gross floor area and building heights
are all excessive. We live in this area because we believe that Noosa Council will protect all that we
hold valuable in our quality of life and environment. That's why | also voted for de-amalgamation.

Finally, as a Marriage Celebrant, | have always promoted Peregian Beach for the beautiful village that it is. My
couples come from overseas, interstate & intra-state and stay (along with family & guests) in holiday
accommodation in this area, as well as have ceremonies on and in the vicinity of Peregian Beach. They shop,
eat, drink and spend time in Peregian village. If a development like Tony Scanlon proposes goes ahead, the
area will fast become over-crowded with people and cars for which there is no infrastructure. David Low Way
cannot cope with any further increase in traffic. That's why Sunshine Motorway was built - to divert through
traffic away from the coast. Our house actually shakes when big Coles trucks & double decker Australia Zoo
buses pass by our house. Speed limit of 40km in front of our house is rarely adhered to and nothing
permanent has ever been done about it. Getting out of our driveway by car or trying to cross the road is
becoming increasingly dangerous.
