           Proposal: Integrated shopping complex development.                                                             l(

                    I object to the commercial use of the Peregian Bowls Club area zoned Open                       ~
           Space / Recreation as determined in both The Noosa Plan 2006 and the draft Sunshine
           Coast Planning Scheme (2012).


                    This development will adversely affect the consistent land and community use
           of the current Tennis Courts, Community House, Kindergarten, Veggie Village and
           Di Hurst Oval, and surrounding residents.
                                                                 "




                    The Sunshine Coast Council Open Space Strategy 2011 identifies that
           "Peregian Beach Locality area is generally under provided for with recreational
           parks" (2011:35). Therefore I object to loss of this recreational land for the current
           and future residents of Peregian Beach and wider catchment to commercial
           development.

           I object further with the following points:


                    The proposed development would create a busy, dangerous traffic choke point
           into Rufous Street, especially considering there is a kindergarten located there. There
           would also be added pressure on David Low Way traffic.


                    A supermarket and specialty shops in this location would take business away
           from the main Village Square. Residents have only so much money to spend. It is
           unlikely that residents from surrounding areas will come especially to shop here as
           there are already three supermarkets within 3 km, and a further three in Noosa
           Junction and Noosaville. There is no retail benefit in moving retail spending from
           one   part of the area to another.

                    I am concerned that run-off from the site and surrounding streets may

           potentially contaminate surrounding areas with chemical spills, industrial strength
           chemical cleaners, petrol and oils from the car park. This could affect the health and
           safety of local residents.
