Dear Mr Murphy

            Obiection to the Scanlon Grcup Developrnent Application
                           HCU 16ftl15:l & REC l6tul'tl

I am a permanent resident of Marcus Beach and am writing to object to the
devekrpment application (DA) made by tfie Scanlon Group for a &velopment at
Peregian Beach-

My primary obiection is to the scale and density of the proposed development- The
proposal is not in keeping with the cornmunity's expeciations that Peregian Beach
remain a foillage'community atbactive to resilents. visitors ard boutique shoppers
ard those krokrrog fior asn array d fffiffiafrty esfiab,listmaerxb"

While lappreciate that The New Noosa Plan-Discussion Paper is, just a "discussion
papef" nevertheless the Scanlon propmal seems at odds with frre sentiments
e)pressed in the discrssion docrrrnent The discnsskrn paper" for exannpb"
                 *residents

defined settlement pattern "owes much to community efforts to prevent inappropriate
developmenf. With specific referene to Peregian Sprirgs, the discussion paper
            *Maintenanoe
states that                of fie low rise" lm key village ahnosphere with opporfunrty
for informal mnxnunlty enrents ard IncidentaE gaererings As forryortarut"-

The local community is not anti development as evidenced by the strong community
input to the improvement of comqunity infrastructnre and the facilitation of d$ital
economy in spams around RLdous Sfreef- The prmerval*rn of the vilhge
aEnosphere b irnportant.

The discussion paper also acknowledges that there is little capacity for growth in the
coastal mmmunitie and littb charrye is songht by res*lents- The discussion paper
furffpr states tmt wiE furffter groulfrr anticipabd sffith d Peregian Beach it will be
innportant to retain the lov rise 5orr dansi{y {rny enphmis) informal village
atmosphere despite increasing number of visitors.
