PM Submission Object - Stephen Carey MCU16/0153 & REC16/0041

                 4) Significant & continuous Noise & Disruption to homes along David Low Way, adjoining
                 streets, laneway, PB Hotel, Hardware store, business & private premises in the vicinity of the
                 roadways & roundabout is guaranteed. The impact will be to the detriment of acoustic & visual
                 qualities, lifestyle, holiday village ambience & business, especially the al fresco dining/coffee
                 shops that all enjoy fresh air & ocean sounds.

                 5) Substantially Increased Traffic & Congestion is assured during construction as standing traffic
                 queues currently form at all accesses to the roundabout, particularly at daily peak times,
                 exacerbated further during school & public holidays. The proposed development risks being a
                 serious source of additional congestion & given the layout/landform, nigh on impossible to
                 mitigate in the future. Once completed the amount of traffic that will be all needing access via
                 the current road under pressure from the New IGA.

                 6) Other concerns include density of buildings & infrastructure within the precinct, the
                 provision of scarce green space/vegetation/shade, preferred orientation to sunlight & natural
                 breezes, the provision of public access pathway between two story buildings, with little to
                 recommend passive surveillance, particularly at night. Light pollution is a further issue as every
                 new light bulb impacts adversely on Peregian’s disappearing night sky, particularly of concern
                 with the density planned for this site. The Lack of car parking in the Peregian Beach area is only
                 going to be increased with this dense housing/accommodation proposed.

                 7) So many missed opportunities to work with community in consultation with Noosa Council’s
                 Master Plan for Rufous St & the adjoining laneway to add to the amenity. The north western
                 corner’s existing vegetation could have seen the creation of green space/parkland to embellish
                 the precinct for visitors & local community with potential to make genuine connections
                 between Rufous St /laneway with this development. Instead, it separates itself from the village
                 feel, in fact opposes the local residential community & village activities associated with the
                 function & interaction of Veggie Village, Tennis Club, Kindergarten & Community House, all
                 nearby neighbours of the planned development.

                 This proposal conflicts with community values, endorsed by all who reside & those who choose
                 this relaxed pedestrian location, where thongs, even bare feet are the norm. It delivers instead,
                 undesirable urban density & city lifestyle that’s aesthetically at odds with Peregian’s much
                 sought after open space linkages, relaxed village character & community engagement.

                 I feel will less density in the houses, more facilities and some link to the Rufous laneway and
                 new Noosa Rufous Street Plans this would have had a more positive feedback.

                 I urge Noosa Council to protect & retain the village of Peregian Beach, to stand strong behind
                 the intent of the Noosa Town Plan & refuse this Development Application.
