    4. We note that the Peregian Beach Sports & Recreation Club
          are  producing a "Vision on the Village" which has the
          subject site and the Village Square within the boundary of
          said Village, confirming, in our opinion, that this represents a
          relatively compact centre node. This is supported by the
          relatively low speed environment of the David Low Way due
          to traffic calming devices in this locality             refer to       -

    5. It     is    our   expectation     that     the         proposed          IGA   based
          convenience centre will provide a bona fide convenience
          centre for  Peregian Beach residents as by default, the
          existing neighbourhood zoned centre does not full-fill this
          role.


In conclusion, as with many other urban centres which incorporate
nodes with differing functions (i.e retail node and entertainment
node), this would   be the case at Peregian Beach should the
proposed development receive approval.

                   the architectural
   pedestrian or driveway access along the site’s eastern
   boundary with the Council carpark at 253 David Low Way (Lot
   95 SP 137431). Also, include a statement about the viability of the
   proposed retail tenancies 2-6 with an eastern orientation and no
   access beino provided throuoh the car park.



Representations:
The followings Facts and circumstances are considered relevant to
Council’s issue, namely:
   1. We respectfully advise that the plans have not been
      amended to depict a fence with no pedestrian access
      along the site’s eastern boundary because:
         such a barrier is contrary to all basic town planning
          .


         principles of providing convenient pedestrian access
         from the nearby Bus Stop on the David Low Way, for
         members of the local Community wishing to gain access
         to the convenience shopping centre from the adjoining
         Peregian Beach Community Centre, or for residents
         walking to the site from nearby residential addresses;
         a fence/barrier is contrary to the provisions of Council’s
          .


         own planning scheme which aims to increase the use of

         public transport and pedestrian movement. This is
         significant at Peregian Beach where traffic calming has
