q’f’.,
I have lived in Peregian Beach for 12 years and I love the
strong s"
~
of community and low-key character of the area. I object to this
proposed development -
it’s completely at odds with Peregian’s identity.
Peregian Beach population is close to capacity now. Only five years
ago there were only three shopping centres within a 10km radius of
Peregian Beach. Now there are five, it’s more than we need already.
The proposed development is in serious conflict with the zoning of
Open Space/ Recreation, as set out in both The Noosa Plan 2006 and
the draft Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2012. Surely the
purpose of
zoning is to protect the use of land.
In fact, a shopping centre does not just smash the intention of the town
plan, it would shove the polar opposite of sport and recreation in our
face -
consumption, buying, temptation to buy junk food, cars, rubblish.
Right at a time when our state government is highlighting the need to
entice more families into sport and recreation.
Our community wants to live healthy and active lives. The Sunshine
Coast Council Open Space Strategy 2011 identifies that "Peregian
Beach locality area is generally under provided for with recreational
parks"(2011 :35). Loss of this recreational land for residents and visitors
would deny future generations precious facilities to maintain healthy and
active lives.
Another reason I am apposed to the development proposal is that traffic
generated by the development would have a substantial adverse
impact on the amenity of the residential areas around the proposed
centre~as-well as-ttTe-comrnorrity activities rn Rufoas street.

As a past kind parent and keen tennis player I am also very worried
about traffic squeezing through a tight funnel into Rufous street,
just metres away from our Kindergarten, and tennis courts and vege
village. The Woodland Drive/David Low Way intersection would become
even more dangerous than it is now. (Refer to our previous
correspondence over the years about this matter)
Our three children attended the Peregian Kindy. We would regularly
walk to Kindy with them, confident in knowing if they ran or rode their
bikes ahead of us, people in Rufous street would slow down, and
probably stop to say hello. Plenty of Peregian kids walk or ride their
bikes to Peregian’s tennis courts because their parents are confident
they are in a safe area.
The health and wellbeing of our community comes before shopping
centres and carparks. That’s why I strongly object to this proposed
development.
