Dear Sir/Madam.


RE: PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT - 215 DAVID LOW WAY PEREGIAN BEACH
(MCU16/0153 AND REC16/0041).



I write in support of the proposed development applications referenced above. Succinctly. the
rationale for my position is listed below:



   •   The land is question is currently vacant and derives no benefit to residents (both
       present and those which wish to reside in Peregian Beach in the future), tourists and
       local enterprise. With the activation of the site through development, there is a
       collective benefit for all.
   •   The land is an infill parcel, surrounded by a variety of complimentary/alike uses
       proposed. including housing, retail/restaurant, hotel/pub, commercial (LT. Hub) and
       community uses (Kindergarten for example).
   •   The development limits urban sprawl as evidenced at Peregian Springs and extends
       the existing village precinct as opposed to fragmenting it.
   •   The development provides the opportunity for future occupants to both holiday and
       permanently reside in the development. greatly benefiting all from the close access to
       existing amenities within walking distance.
   •   The development is adequately serviced/accessed through the existing and proposed
       road/public transport network, and provides for additional car parks beyond required
       rates further.
   •   The short stay use provides a point of difference through the conferencing facility, in a
       more traditional accommodation format (as opposed to Air BnB and competing
       offerings).
   •   The residential use aids in housing/rental affordability. choice and flexibility catering to
       the wider public demand.
   •   The design provides for numerous pedestrian connections/footpaths throughout the
       site, promoting transient movement and fully considers councils planned upgrades to
       the Rufus Street precinct adjacent to the northern boundary.
   •   The design provides a variation of product types, fa9ade designs. high-end treatments
       and streetscape enhancing the visual appeal of the development.
   •   The design reduces the bulk and scale of the development through being largely 2
       stories in height. being set down/screened through existing structures adjacent,
       includes ample building articulation, roof eaves. ventilation and the like further in line
       with what is already within the existing surrounds.
