5.2 Commercial Elements of the Proposal

The proposal includes the development of commercial, retail and restaurant uses along the sites’ David
Low Way frontage. The proposed design produces a building consistent with the ‘domestic’ scale
buildings which characterise Peregian Beach Village. The proposed building avoids the creation of
excessive bulk or scale along David Low Way, while delivering an exceptionally high standard of design.

Retailing and restaurant uses proposed at street level will create a vibrant, active entry to Peregian
Village from the south, while also ensuring the proposal establishes an active frontage and promotes
pedesirian safety. :

Professional offices are envisaged on the upper level of the proposed building. An Economic Needs
Assessment has been submitted as an element of this application (Refer to Appendix H) and this
assessment identifies that the amount of retail and commercial space proposed are supportable within
the context of Peregian Beach Village and the wider Noosa Shire.

The moderate slope of the site away from David Low Way creates an opportunity for under croft car
parking, with access off the unnamed access road. This removes the visual impact of parking and
vehicular access from the main thoroughfare in Peregian Beach.

The proposal will serve as infill development between the existing commercial uses on the western side
of David Low Way, specifically the Peregian Beach Hotel and Home Hardware sites. As such the
proposal provides the opportunity to resolve the function and appearance of this significant gateway.

5.3 Car Parking

The proposal includes 166 car parking spaces across the entirety of the site. The proposal locates this
car parking underneath the accommodation and commercial buildings, and along the internal access
drive. The Cardno Eppell Olsen Traffic Impact Assessment (Appendix L) advises that the proposal has
an undersupply of 12 car parking spaces when assessed against the provisions of the Noosa Planning
Scheme, falling to a shortfall of three (3) spaces.

Detailed car parking and traffic analysis has been undertaken by Cardno Eppell Olsen. This analysis
has concluded that car parking proposed meets the expected demand to be generated from the
proposal, meeting the performance criteria of the Noosa Plan.
