A Submission in Objection to the Proposed Commercial Development in the Open Space Recreation zoned area of Peregian Beach

To 	The Chief Executive Officer
Sunshine Coast Council
Locked Bag 72
Sunshine Coast Mail Centre, QLD 4560

File No:  MCU13/0092
Name of Applicant: 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/We 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).

This development will adversely affect the consistent land and community use of the current Tennis Courts, Community House, Kindergarten, Veggie Village and Di Hurst Oval 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 loss of this recreational land for the current and future residents of Peregian Beach and wider catchment to commercial development.

Please include any additional points of argument regarding details the development application / currently planning regulations and/or your personal experience of how this will affect you, your family and the community.

I/We object further as we feel the town is quite unique and will not benefit from having a multi chain supermarket development. The first time we came here we were delighted with this very uniqueness and Im sure its what attracts tourists to the place. I run a yoga studio on Peregian beach and although a new(ish) member of the community, I feel strongly that this is not a people pleaser nor an attractor of more revenue to the area. People do not visit Peregian to go to the supermarket – they come BECAUSE there are no big developments. Its cute its quaint and there are so many other built up areas with shopping centres, Im sure we can afford to leave Peregian just as it is. Thanks.
