PM Submission Object ADDITIONAL - Christine Lee Martin - MCU16/0153 & REC16/0041

                         The proposed buildings and structures are not designed and sited to be attractive, comfortable and accessible to the
                          public or provide suitable landscape treatments and amenities, conducive to community interaction and convenience
                          and public safety;




                         The proposed development is not consistent with the reasonable expectations of residents in the locality, given the
                          Peregian Beach Caravan site is to primarily provide for budget visitor accommodation, which is in the public interest;




                         The Proposed development does not in any way conform to the written advice, cited below, from the Council to the
                          developer prior to the pre-lodgment meeting held on 14 December 2016 (between Council and the developer):


                        The Open Space Recreation zone in Peregian Beach specifically seeks to protect and retain the site for low cost visitor
                        accommodation needs reflective of the site’s previous use as a caravan park, but also acknowledges that a range of
                        visitor accommodation may be provided where integrated with budget accommodation. There is no support given to
                        permanent residents on the site.
                        It is noted that the current approval included only visitor accommodation, with no permanent resident accommodation
                        proposed. This approved development was supported by Council through an appeal process as it was acknowledged that
                        it included low to mid cost visitor accommodation being a reasonable alternative to the Planning Scheme’s intent to
                        retain the caravan park.
                        It is considered the current proposal does not meet the Planning Scheme’s intent for the site as there is a lack of and a
                        limited range of visitor accommodation proposed…….

                         The Noosa Council has correctly performed, as reflected in the cited correspondence above, its role as custodian of
                          what was formerly publicly (ratepayer) owned land by informing the developer that the DA proposal does not comply
                          with the requirements requested by the Council in regard to provision of low cost, non-permanent accommodation. For
                          Noosa Council to now allow the development application would be a failure of its duty to the Noosa ratepayers.




                         There are no grounds provided that are sufficient to overcome the level of conflict identified with the Noosa Plan.


                 The proposed development application should be refused for the above reasons.
