Iza Objection to Proposed Commercial Development Peregian Beach · MCU13/0092

File No:MCU/0092
Name of Application:Multispan Australia
Postal Address of Land: 5-7 Rufous Street, Peregian Beach
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 Planning Scheme (2012).
This development will adversely affect the consistent land and community use of the current Tennis Courts, Community House, Kindergarten, Veggie Village and Di Hurst and surrounding residents.

The Sunshine Coast Council Open Space Strategy 2011 identifies that “Peregian Beach locality area is generally under provided for with recreational parks”(2011:35) and we object to the loss of this recreational lad for the current and future residents of Peregian Beach and wider catchment to commercial development.

I further object to the notion that the only way the Peregian Beach community can prosper economically is by adding more commercial sprawl to an already over catered region. From Maroochydore to Tewantin there are multiple IGA’s, Coles, Aldi’s and Woolworths.

My family have just relocated from the densely populated suburb of Maroubra in Sydney. We have more choices of supermarkets in this locality of the Sunshine Coast than we did back in Maroubra and surrounding suburbs.

Your council can either succumb to developers or show vision in allowing Peregian Beach to continue its steady growth and prosperity due to maintaining its uniqueness as a village.

Peregian Beach does not need a generic shopping precinct to prosper.
