Dear Sir/Madam

RE:    Objection – Material change of use (Development Permit)
       Application No: MCU 12/0023

I hereby lodge an objection against the application for material change of use (development
permit), MCU 12/0023, lodged by the Scanlon Property Group, c/- JFP Urban Consultants
Pty Ltd regarding the potential development of property at 215–219 David Low Way,
Peregian Beach (lot 77 on SP231615).

I object to the application to include additional elements on the basis of the considerable
noise nuisance which would be created by the addition of 56 external dining spaces to the
restaurant area and of Juliet balconies to the motel-style accommodation.

Council's original objection to the additional 56 outdoor dining places was on the grounds of
noise nuisance to the neighbourhood. The deleterious impacts of the noise generated by
both outdoor dining and the use of balconies attached to guest accommodation on the
surrounding residential area would be considerable.

I particularly object because the developer withdrew its original request for external dining as
part of its negotiations to gain initial approval, the Council having rejected the external dining
on the grounds of noise nuisance to neighbours. After having gaining approval without
external dining, the developer is now seeking to vary the agreement it entered into with
Council to add external dining. The developer demonstrates little regard for the rulings of
Council, the quality of life of resident neighbours and the general amenity of the Peregian
Beach community.

Yours faithfully
