Details of submission and reasons for objection to the above proposal:-

 

Traffic and Safety.

The original application for this site by the Scanlon Group was for
“Essence of Peregian”; beach shacks and retail development. By the
Council’s own reckoning, the number of car movements per day for the
proposed 154 car parking spaces for the so called “beach shacks”  and
retail was between 7 and up to 11 car movements per space per day. 

·       The proposed supermarket will have 85 car parking spaces but
does not seem to include the parking spaces for the already approved
“beach shacks” that are yet to be built sometime in the future.

·        Additional (future) car parking spaces will generate more
traffic movements to and from this site.

·       It is to be expected that the car movements per space per day
for a supermarket and retail would be in excess of  car movements per
space per day for the spaces for the beach shacks.

·       These car movements will generate a large volume of traffic
which will enter and exit the site by a small, narrow, unnamed road
which intersects with the David Low Way, the main arterial road for
North or South travellers.

·       Within a few metres of this unnamed road, travelling North,
there is a bus stop, a pedestrian crossing and a few metres beyond these
two locations, there is the small, Heron Street round-about to which the
vehicular entry and exit from the Peregian Beach Hotel is connected. The
Hardware store vehicular entry and exit is also located off this unnamed
road.

·       This narrow, unnamed road is unsuited to the large articulated
supply transports and delivery trucks which will have to service the
supermarket, retail outlets and the Hardware store. These vehicles
present safety problems for the shoppers’ cars trying to access the
proposed supermarket car park as well as customers of the Hardware store
car park, using this narrow, unnamed road.

·        Combine the above mentioned vehicles with the buses stopping
and their passengers and pedestrians using the pedestrian crossing, as
well as the Hotel patrons and Heron Street traffic using the
round-about,  then traffic chaos is assured in both directions.

·       Noise and lighting

·       The entertainment component of the original “Essence of
Peregian” application appears to be retained in this new application.
This in itself begs the question about what type, what operating hours
and what noise levels will be generated in the  planned spaces?

·       Security lighting, delivery trucks which often service
supermarkets at night will disturb the amenity of the near-by residents
even though the site is below ground level of the David Low Way. 

For the above reasons, I ask that the Council refuse this application.

 

Yours faithfully,

Margaret Wilkie. Peregian Beach.Q’ld.4573
