2.   SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background
Lot 1 SP 215942 - 255 David Low Way
On 25 August 2008 Council approved 132008.310 for Material Change of Use for Wellbeing
Type 2 – Social (Peregian Beach Community House). Construction was completed in late 2009.

Lot 95 SP137431 - 253 David Low Way
On 11 March 2010 Council approved 132009.1512 for Material Change of Use for Transport
Type 2 – Carpark. This approved 33 car spaces and 8 motor cycle spaces (equivalent to 35
spaces). The car park services the adjoining Community House which requires 19 spaces and
the balance of the spaces are provided for public parking.

Lot 94 SP137431 – 5-7 Rufous Street
The Peregian Beach Bowls Club was sited on this lot, which Council purchased in 2014 and
demolished the buildings for health and safety reasons.

In November 2013 staff recommended refusal for Commercial Business Type 1, Entertainment
and Dining Business Type 2 and Retail Business Type 2 for an Integrated Shopping Complex on
lot 94. The applicant enacted a Deemed Refusal under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 and
appealed the decision. The applicant subsequently discontinued the appeal in May 2015.

Rufous Street Precinct Master Plan
Council adopted a Rufous Street Precinct Master Plan on 10 March 2016. The resolution reads:

That Council note the report by the Director Community Services to the Infrastructure & Services
Committee Meeting dated 1 March 2016 on the Rufous Street Precinct Master Plan and:
A.   Approve the Rufous St Precinct Master Plan as set out in Attachments 1, 2 and 3 of the
     Report;
B.   Agree to provide owners consent for a Development Application for a Material Change of
     Use to be lodged over Council owned lot 94 on SP 137431, Lot 1 on SP 215942 and Lot 95
     on SP 137431 in the Rufous St Precinct;
C.   Request the CEO to prepare a Development Application over the site in accordance with
     the Master Plan; and
D.   Include the Master Plan in any future planning provisions for the area.
The Rufous Street Precinct Master Plan (RSPMP) is included as Attachment 2. The RSPMP was
prepared through an extensive consultation process with the Peregian Beach community and
interested participants between May 2015 and January 2016.
The current application proposes to realise the majority of the RSPMP, except for the upgrade of
and the additional public car parking along Rufous Street, which is not part of this application but
a current project of Council’s Planning and Infrastructure Department. The timing of the upgrade
is expected to be delivered prior to Stage 1.
The submitted development layout reflects the Council endorsed Rufous Street Precinct Master
Plan.
