Town Planning Report - Peregian Village Market · MCU13/0251

    which utilises the platform areas in the atrium. Significant landscaping is also
    proposed within the atrium level as shown on the proposal plans (refer
    Attachment 1A).

15. Due to the significant change in surface levels between the David Low Way
    frontage and the subject land, internal stairs have been provided rather than
    internal ramping. The provision of an internal ramp was unworkable and not
    practical in the circumstances. However, disabled access is provided via a new
    footpath upgrade in conjunction with streetscape works on the northern side of
    the unnamed roadway. A suitable grade for disabled access can be achieved and
    provides direct access into the development.

16. The atrium structure and roof over covers the outdoor dining area and also
    activates the David Low Way frontage of the development. The design of the
    development is modern, contains varying roof lines and light weight features and
    treatments that add interest and articulate the built form.

17. It is intended that this development proposal replace Stage 1 of the current
    approval over the land. Stages 2 and 3 being the visitor accommodation
    components of the ultimate development, will be provided in a modified form that
    is not substantially different to the current approval. There may be a need to
    change the current approval over the land, once approval of the current proposal
    is obtained.


Subject Site and Surrounding Area

18. The area of land is significant being approximately 2.3ha. The proposed
    development occupies a portion of this land being about 5,800m² (refer Figures
    3 & 4 below).

19. The subject land is located opposite the Neighbourhood Centre and is on the
    western side of David Low Way. The site is also located to the north of the
    existing Home Hardware Store, which is to the south of the existing unnamed
    roadway. To the north is the Peregain Beach Hotel, which adjoins the northern
    boundary of the subject land. Further to the west is the Noosa National Park. The
    subject land is effectively an infill development site, with commercial uses on
    either side.

20. The ‘Peregian Boardwalk’ development is located to the north east of the site and
    on the northern side of Heron Street, which is a mixed use development and
    effectively forms part of the Neighbourhood Centre. Further to the north and on
    the western side of David Low Way is a commercial office development and
    further north again is the open space and recreation land and other community
    facilities.

21. The subject land is part of the larger parcel described above and falls generally
    from the east to west and has a fall of about 5m. The land falls steeply from
    David Low Way near the boundary with level of the roadway at the David Low
    Way frontage being about 10m AHD. The land within the site and close to the
    eastern boundary is about 8m AHD (refer Figure 4).
