File No: MCU13/0092
Name of applicant: Multispan Australia
Postal address of land: 5-7 Rufous St, Peregian Beach
Proposal: Integrated shopping complex development

We make a submission on the referenced development application, as follows:

We object to:

- the commercial use of the Peregian Bowls Club area zoned OpenSpace/Recreation as determined in both The Noosa Plan 2006 and the draft Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme (2012)

-the loss of the Bowls Club open space site to a supermarket, multiple specialty shops and car parking

- the appropriation by the developer of the community car park spaces at the Peregian Beach Community House

- the increased volumes of traffic, including service and delivery vehicles, especially on Rufous Street, Woodland Drive and the David Low Way

- the traffic overload on the Woodland Drive - David Low Way intersection, which is not engineered for the heavy traffic demands of a supermarket and commercial precinct and would become dangerous and congested.  Additionally, the difficult nature of this intersection would encourage service and delivery vehicles to turn left onto the David Low Way on exit, thus increasing heavy vehicle traffic flow to the already traffic sensitive David Low Way through North Peregian, Marcus and Castaway Beaches.    

- the unnecessary addition of a large-scale supermarket to the heart of Peregian Beach village, especially when there are already many large supermarkets (3 x Coles, Woolworths and IGA) all within a short drive.  Additionally, a small supermarket has already been approved for the former caravan park site

- a commercial sprawl that would create two centres within the town, draw business away from the current retail establishments and threaten the unique, low-density atmosphere of Peregian Beach Village

We believe that the zoning for community recreation space MUST be retained.
