Town Planning Report - Peregian Village Market · MCU13/0251

    development be properly located in order to be integrated with the existing
    Neighbourhood Centre.

101. Currently there is no room within the existing Centre for a small scale
   supermarket, other than a convenience store. This is because the existing Centre
   is fully developed and while redevelopment will continue to occur, it is highly
   unlikely that this land could ever be utilised for a small scale supermarket.

102. This is because of the nature of the built form, with no provision for onsite
   parking and the built form being located on the periphery and surrounding open
   space. Consequently, in my opinion, the subject land is the only land available in
   the immediate locality that could satisfy the need and also provide a development
   that is close to and integrated with the Neighbourhood Centre.

103. It is also relevant that the subject site has approval for Retail Business Type 2
   – Shop and Salon with a floor area of about 387m² and Entertainment and Dining
   Type 1 – Food and Beverages with a floor area of about 306m², with about 70m²
   of outdoor dining. There is also a small office that has been approved, which is
   defined as Commercial Business Type 1 – Office. Consequently, all of the uses
   being applied for are currently approved over the land.

104. It is accepted that this is a new and different proposal and does not involve
   any tourist accommodation uses in association, as does the current approval.
   However, it is intended that this proposal replace Stage 1 of the approval
   whereby, Stages 2 and 3 will provide for a significant amount of visitor
   accommodation in close proximity to the Neighbourhood Centre. This is desirable
   in a planning sense, being of significant benefit to the local community.

105. While Economic Associates have concluded that there is a high level of need
   for the proposed supermarket, the issue of adverse impacts on the existing
   Centre has also been considered. The analysis undertaken by Economic
   Associates also concludes that the above benefits can be achieved without any
   loss to the viability of other centres, in particular the existing Neighbourhood
   Centre.


Conclusion

106. The proposed development is for a small scaled mixed use development that
   is to contain a supermarket with a floor area of about 950m² and a servicing and
   loading area of about 250m². An additional 400m² of shop, restaurant and office
   uses is also proposed in a number of tenancies, with about 94m² of outdoor
   dining.

107. The development is to be located on the western side of David Low Way on
   part of the land that that has approval for the development known as the
   ‘Essence of Peregian’. The subject proposal is to replace Stage 1 of that approval
   and is to utilise the front portion of the land that abuts David Low Way. The land
   is low set and the development will be mostly below the roadway.

108. The development has been designed to be integrated with the land form and
   compatible with other development in the immediate area. The design provides
