PM Submission Object - Betty Lovejoy - MCU16/0153 & REC16/0041

The air-conditioning and refrigeration plant for the IGA are mounted on the roof
of the IGA store will be a source of noise for the residents of the Hotel/Motel.
There will also be noise from the IGA loading dock.
The air-conditioning and refrigeration plant for the Peregian Beach Hotel are
mounted on the rear of the Hotel. This will be will be a source of noise for the
residents of the Reed Houses who will be 6 metres below the ground level of the
Peregian Beach Hotel.

I consider that the developer should be required to submit a noise mitigation
plan agreed between the Peregian Beach Hotel and the developer with a formal
commitment by each party to implement the plan, prior to any proposed
development being considered by Council. The implementation of the plan is to
be certified by a suitably qualified and independent acoustic consultant. It will be
too late if Council approves the DA and the Peregian Beach Hotel and the
developer cannot reach agreement.

8. The Vista from David Low Way
It appears that the Hotel/Motel will not obscure the vista of the western
mountains from David Low Way. This vista needs to be protected. The
accommodation units will be behind and below the Peregian Beach Hotel by
about 6m and, therefore, will not be visible from David Low Way but it is
important that they do not exceed the height allowed under the Noosa Plan
especially along Rufous Lane.

9. Sprout Architects Site Sections shows a 12m height above natural ground
level especially for Lot 12 which would appear to be grossly excessive.

10. Pathway through the development
It is proposed to provide a public pathway linking Rufous Lane with the IGA and
the Motel and through the Supermarket site to both Sandpiper Lane and David
Low Way (via the lift). This pathway is desirable if the DA is approved.

11. Sprout Architects Ground Floor Hotel – MPR? Meal Preparation Room?
I do not understand why the change from “Motel” to “Hotel” or whether or not
this has any significance.

12. Sprout Architects Reed House Section Analysis
I consider that the amount of solar access and ventilation is limited and
inappropriate according to this analysis. The number of hours of solar access
that these windows and open spaces will receive is not clear. The apparent
inadequacy is caused by the developer’s attempt to maximize the density and
ground coverage of the site.


13. The Reed Beach Houses - secondary dwelling units
While I realize that the developer has provided a physical linkage from each
secondary dwelling to the main dwelling unit, the fact still remains that the
secondary dwelling can be locked off and separately occupied. If this occurs the
