A Submission in Objection to the Proposed Commercial Development in the Open Space Recreation zoned area of Peregian Beach

File No:  MCU13/0092

Name of Applicant: Multispan Australia

Postal Address of Land:  5-7 Rufous street, Peregian Beach.

Proposal:  Integrated shopping complex development

 

I wish to make a submission on the referenced development application, as follows:

 

I/We object to the commercial use of the Peregian Bowls Club area zoned Open Space/ Recreation as determined in both The Noosa Plan 2006 and the draft Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme (2012).  

 

This development will adversely affect the consistent land and community use of the current Tennis Courts, Community House, and Kindergarten, Veggie Village and Di Hurst Oval and surrounding residents.

 

The Sunshine Coast Council Open Space Strategy 2011 identifies that “Peregian Beach locality area is generally under provided for with recreational parks”(2011:35) and we object to loss of this recreational land for the current and future residents of Peregian Beach and wider catchment to commercial development.

 

 

I/We object further to the proposed Commercial Development and rezoning of the Peregian Beach Bowls Club site on the grounds that any commercial development there will detract from the local amenity.

 

We need to maintain sport and recreation facilities for our citizens to access not build supermarkets.

 

We have lived here at Peregian Beach for 20 years love the peaceful “Village” lifestyle that exists here and feel that we are well supplied with supermarket shopping facilities at Peregian Springs, Coolum and Noosa Heads and any increase in shopping centres is unnecessary especially at the expense of open space.

We believe that traffic congestion will only increase and endanger the access to the Peregian Beach Community House and Kindergarten and sporting fields due to the arrival and departure of delivery vehicles.

We do not think that the fragmentation of the village by allowing another satellite shopping complex is at all beneficial to Peregian, There will only be fragmentation and traffic/parking congestion as there as people fight for car parking.

 

We accept that progress has to occur, but our experience as a shopkeeper in “Noosa Fair Shopping Centre” when “Noosa Civic” opened was to see what little business we had drift away to Noosaville, not an increase in trade, and any suggestion that a new Supermarket is Peregian will increase jobs and employment will not transpire, business will only be transferred from one location to another, You only have to visit Noosa Fair today to see the vacant shops with another moving to Civic, and Noosa Civic was not at the expense of Sport & Recreation Open Space. 

 

We have seen Hasting Street dominated by the big brand names at the expense of smaller “Boutique” style establishments and fear the same will happen to Peregian if this Rezoning is allowed to proceed,

The village atmosphere is what attracts residents to Peregian.
