                    Dear Mr Murphy
                    File No MCU 16/153 REC 16/0041
                    Postal Address 215 David low Way, Peregian Beach

                    Proposed Development Multiple Housing – Type Visitor Accommodation.

                    Objection to the Scanlon Group Development Proposal.

                         1. It would appear this Material Change of Use Application
                            contravenes the Noosa Town Plan and therefore has the
                            potential to put an end to the “ village” atmosphere that now
                            attracts holiday makers and residents alike to Peregian
                            Beach. By its density it absolutely goes against the essence of
                            Peregian which has escaped high rise development and
                            density thus affording a more human element for its residents
                            and visitors alike.

                         2. It does not appear to comply with Noosa Council
                            requirements with the majority of accommodation proposed for
                            Permanent housing rather than low cost family
                            accommodation. Campers and RV visitors could have been
                            accommodated in a well landscaped open area on this site ,
                            close to beach and shops, a situation that could have been
                            most successful and which has also more and more become
                            a rare thing. My family had often stayed at the former
                            Peregian Beach Caravan Park and have felt the loss of such
                            an amenity.

                         3. There would be considerable impact by this proposed
                            development on the Creek and Wetland , both during
                            construction and after completion with such a density of
                            housing impinging so close to an ecologically sensitive
                            reserve, the adjacent Noosa National Park – Emu Swamp
                            section.

                         4. Construction phase of such a dense development would
                            cause a nightmare of traffic delays, dust , noise and
                            disturbance to residents, visitors and businesses and after

                              construction the future increase of traffic into and exiting from
                              the complex would also be a source of congestion through a
                              tight street system.

                         5. As a frequent visitor for more than 25 years and a long
                            term property owner in Jacana Street Peregian Beach , I am
                            concerned that this project conflicts with Community values
                            and ambiance of the “village” area , delivering instead a
                            development of inappropriate urban density together with
                            accompanying changes that would go against the current
                            desirable character of Peregian.

                     I urge Noosa Council to protect and retain the very special
                    character of Peregian Beach , to uphold the Noosa Town Plan and
                    refuse the Development application.
