Proposal: Peregian Village Market - Supermarket & specialty retail shops

Re: MCU13/0251 – Support for the proposed Peregian Village Market

The Peregian Tennis Club sits within the quiet leafy Rufous street community-precinct and together with other community groups and nearby residents, we treasure the low-key, green character of the Peregian Beach area.

However, we support this proposed small-scale supermarket and specialty retail shop development for these reasons:

·        The proposed use is consistent within the site’s zoning and the Peregian Village Market is situated directly between two existing commercial sites fronting the David Low Way.

·        The Market is located within the Peregian Village Square precinct
It makes sense to retain a low key supermarket facility within the Peregian Village ‘CBD’ to replace the soon-to-be-developed Four Square mini-mart. This way, The Village can remain a ‘one-stop shop’ for people’s needs, with all their shopping needs in close proximity.

·        The Market has direct access to the David Low Way and Pedestrian crossing
The proposed supermarket location gives direct pedestrian access by way of an existing raised pedestrian crossing directly to and from the Peregian Village Square.
It also has direct vehicular access from the David Low Way, which is vital to the safety and general preservation of the area, as other streets in Peregian should not be adversely impacted by the development.

As noted above, the site sits between existing commercial sites directly fronting the David Low Way. Therefore, this small-scale supermarket and specialty retail shop should not have any adverse impact on the amenity of the residential areas nearby, or on the community or sporting activities taking place in Rufous street.
