File Number: MCU13/0092
Name of Applicant: Multispan Australia
Postal address of Land:  5-7 Rufous Street, Peregian Beach 4573
Proposal:  Integrated shopping complex development.
 
I wish to make a submission on  the referenced development application as follows:
 
I object to the commercial use of the Peregian Bowls Club area zoned Open Space/Recreation as determined in both the Noosa Plan 2006 and the draft Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme (2012).
 
In addition to reasons given on the template, that you will have received many times, I submit the following as to why further shopping facilities are unnecessary:
 
The Peregian/Marcus Beach is now better served by shops than any time in the past 40 years that I have known it.  This particularly applies to the supermarket sector. 
 
The urban area is surrounded by sea and National Park with few unbuilt house blocks, so there can be no great local population growth.
 
If recreation land is lost it is most unlikely the council/local government/any community organisation will acquire make up land through purchase & removal of houses
.
The requirement for recreation facilities will change with changes in the population age demography.  It is reasonable to expect demand for local recreation will expand considerably in the future.
 
The difficulty the Coolum Beach Contract Bridge Club is having to find a permanent home is an illustration of the shortage of suitable recreation land in this area.
 
Accordingly I strongly object to loss of any zoned recreational land.
