                 6) Substantially Increased Traffic & Congestion is assured during construction as standing
                 traffic queues currently form at all accesses to the roundabout, particularly at daily peak
                 times, exacerbated further during school & public holidays. The proposed development risks
                 being a serious source of additional congestion & given the layout/landform, nigh on
                 impossible to mitigate in the future.

                 7)Diminished vistas across the National Park to Mt Cooroy due to bulky Hotel/Motel
                 building’s projected heights. Council needs to ensure height specifications are accurate &
                 the current expansive views are maintained. Here’s an opportunity to protect & showcase
                 the intent of Noosa’s logo ‘Different by nature!’

                 8)Other concerns include density of buildings & infrastructure within the precinct, the
                 provision of scarce green space/vegetation/shade, preferred orientation to sunlight &
                 natural breezes, the provision of public access pathway between two story buildings, with
                 little to recommend passive surveillance or a non threatening environment, particularly at
                 night.

                 9) So many missed opportunities to work with community in consultation with Noosa
                 Council’s Master Plan for Rufous St & the adjoining laneway to add to the amenity. The
                 north western corner’s existing vegetation could have seen the creation of green
                 space/parkland to embellish the precinct for visitors & local community with potential to
                 make connections between Rufous St /laneway with this development instead it separates
                 itself from the village feel.

                 10)This proposal conflicts with community values, endorsed by all who reside & those who
                 choose this relaxed pedestrian location, where thongs, even bare feet are the norm. It
                 delivers instead, undesirable urban density & city lifestyle that’s aesthetically at odds with
                 Peregian’s much sought after relaxed village character & community engagement.

                 I/we urge Noosa Council to protect the village of Peregian Beach & to refuse this DA.
