PM Submission Object - Annie Guthrie MCU16/0153 & REC16/0041

                         The Proposed development does not in any way conform to the written advice, cited
                          below, from the Council to the developer prior to the pre-lodgment meeting held on 14
                          December 2016 (between Council and the developer):


                    The Open Space Recreation zone in Peregian Beach specifically seeks to protect and
                     retain the site for low cost visitor accommodation needs reflective of the site’s previous
                     use as a caravan park, but also acknowledges that a range of visitor accommodation
                     may be provided where integrated with budget accommodation. There is no support
                     given to permanent residents on the site.

                    It is noted that the current approval included only visitor accommodation, with no
                     permanent resident accommodation proposed. This approved development was
                     supported by Council through an appeal process as it was acknowledged that it included
                     low to mid cost visitor accommodation being a reasonable alternative to the Planning
                     Scheme’s intent to retain the caravan park.

                    It is considered the current proposal does not meet the Planning Scheme’s intent for the
                     site as there is a lack of and a limited range of visitor accommodation proposed.


                As indicated in the correspondence quoted here, the Noosa Council has correctly performed,
                its role as custodian of what was formerly publicly (ratepayer) owned land by informing the
                developer that the DA proposal does not comply with the requirements requested by the
                Council in regard to provision of low cost, non-permanent accommodation. For Noosa
                Council to now allow the development application would be a failure of its duty to the Noosa
                ratepayers.

                There are no indications that any consideration has been given to the above concerns and
                the impact on the community and it’s social, demographic and economic needs. There is
                nothing visible to show any intent to overcome the level of conflict with the New Noosa Plan.


                In conclusion, I strongly support the refusal of the proposed development application for
                the above reasons.
