                  It would     remove scarce and               much-needed public recreation

         ..
                  land at a time when our community,

                  young and old, are crying out for more of this space. A strong
         ..




                  community demand for this public land
                  usage has been expressed by local sporting groups, and this
                  future demand is supported by
          .       Peregian’s growing younger demographic. The zoning for
                  community recreation space MUST be retained.

                  This commercial sprawl would drain dollars away from the
         . businesses in the square and away
         . from the village itself. Spurious claims have been made about
          .
                  the economic benefits of the

            application. In fact local businesses hold strong concerns that
          .




            a fragmented retail and commercial
         ..
            strip will have a severely negative impact on local companies.
                                                                                               .




                  It would create a busy, dangerous traffic choke point into

         ..
                  Rufous street, next to our kindergarten,
         ..       veggie village, tennis courts, oval and community house.
              .




                  That’s why our community groups don’t want
                  it.
                  It would destroy the carefully planned, approachable, human

          .
                  scale of our village in a long-term erosion of what makes

                  Peregian Beach attractive, popular and prosperous.
                  That’s why the town does not want it.
