ATTENTION: ASSESSMENT MANAGER
 
Dear Sir/Madam,  
 
I wish to comment on the application by the Scanlon Property Group at Lot 77 on SP231615 as advertised in the notice which appeared in the Sunshine Coast Daily on 22/4/2012.
 
I am a frequent visitor to Perigian Beach and I was appalled that the Caravan Park was allowed to be developed as a very expensive resort squeeezed onto this land. This is not in keeping with the ambience of the area at all.
 
I would like to comment on the recent variation that the developer now wants to include in his application
 
The extra external dining space (70 sq.m) now sought, would generate more noise nuisance for the neighbourhood. There is already a large space designated as indoor dining in the plan. I understand that the extra space was refused in the original application because of the noise factor. I ask that you uphold the Council Laws in this regard and refuse this application as the Council saw fit to do in the original application.
 
The balconies that are proposed (but refused in the original application) would also generate more nuisance as they face the David Low Way. Combined with the extra outdoor space, the balconies would make the noise intolerable for the neighbourhood. This is particularly so as noise from the neighbouring hotel already generates a noise nuisance. I don't believe that the noise factor for these balconies has been analysed.
 
Communities are affected by Council decisions. Developers move on, but communities remain, and are often left with the aftermath of Council decisions. Please apply the already consierable laws at your disposal and refuse these extra variations to the developer's plan.
 
I look forward to your response.
 
Yours faithfully, 
 
Anna McLaren
