4. SUMMARY

   

PMM Brisbane have been engaged by the Applicant, Scanlon Property Group, in relation to the
submission of a development application for a mixed use development over land described as Lots 8, 9
& 10 on P9315 and Lot 76 on MCH 2969. These allotments are collectively located at 215 - 219 David
Low Way, Peregian Beach. Please refer to Figures 1 — 4 of this Town Planning Report for details of the
subject site’s location and configuration.

The subject site is currently utilised for the Peregian Beach Caravan Park. Consistent with national
trends, the viability of the caravan park has decreased over time. The Applicant remains committed to
the ongoing provision of affordable holiday accommodation and has sought to do so in a form more
relevant to accommodation trends and visitor expectations.

This application seeks approval for a Development Permit for a Material Change of Use for Visitor
Hostel, Accommodation Units (Beach Shacks), Commercial, Retail and Restaurant. This proposal seeks
to develop affordable hostel and beach shack accommodation on the subject site in conjunction with a
commercial building fronting David Low Way. The accommodation development would be named
‘Essence of Peregian’.

The subject site is located within the Eastern Beaches Locality of the Planning Scheme for the Noosa
Shire Council, tiled “The Noosa Plan’. Under the provisions of The Noosa Plan the proposal is
identified as Impact Assessable development.

The proposed development has the following characteristics:

= Three (3) hostel accommodation buildings comprising grouped ‘pods’ of bedrooms around shared
kitchen and laundry facilities;

= Thirty (30) ‘beach shacks’ varying from two (2) to three (3) storeys in height, located so as to
enable effective stormwater management and treatment, landscaping and retention of existing
trees on site;

= A commercial building addressing David Low Way, divided into three (3) distinct connected
pavilions articulated to achieve a domestic scale whilst providing an exceptional standard of built
form to act as the southern gateway to Peregian Beach;

= 168 car spaces for accommodation and commercial use;

= Pedestrian access from David Low Way, integrating the proposal with the existing Pedestrian
Beach Village and Peregian Beach; and

= Significant landscaping both internally to the proposal and to David Low Way to support the
proposed built form, and integrates the street treatment with existing surrounding development.

The proposal provides an opportunity for retention of affordable visitor accommodation in Peregian
Beach Village while integrating a high level of ecological sustainability and an exceptional standard of
design.
