                   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-lodgement 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.
