        28. Limited     landscaping is provided across the site which will result in an urban form that
            lacks the Peregian character of small scale buildings within a landscaped setting.               .




        29. The applicant has not demonstrated that there is a critical need for the location of the use
            on the site.



    Development Application MCU13/0092 should be refused for reasons including the following:

                 a.     The proposal does not comply with the Noosa Plan.


                 b.     The applicant has not demonstrated that there is a need for the use to be located
                        in the Open Space Recreation zone.


                 c.     The   proposal   is   inconsistent with    the   Sunshine     Coast    Sport   and       Active
                        Recreation   Plan which    clearly   demonstrates     a    shortage   of open space for
                        recreational purposes.


                 d.     The proposal will result in the duplication of the existing       neighbourhood centre
                        which will undermine the character and vision for the area and severely impact
                        the sustainability of the current Village precinct.


                 e.     The   applicants economic report is flawed and does not demonstrate an
                        overriding need for the shopping complex as there is appropriately zoned and
                        approved land in the locality that could cater for an appropriately sized
                        supermarket to meet the demands of the locality.

                 f.     There is no need to provide a shopping complex of this order as the area is well
                        supplied with existing shops and          the   shopping   centre at   Peregian Springs
                        provides higher order goods.

                 g.     The applicant has not demonstrated that an approval should be granted despite
                        the conflicts with the Planning Scheme


                 h.     The proposal will detrimentally impact on the surrounding residential areas by
                        means   of noise and additional traffic which cannot be adequately controlled by
                        any conditions of approval.

                 i.     Approval of the proposed use will detrimentally affect the amenity and character
                        of the intended recreational and community area and its surrounding residents.




    Yours faithfully,
