RE: DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION FOR A MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE – MCU13/0092

Name of Applicant: Multispan Australia

Land Parcel: 5-7 Rufous Street, Peregian Beach

Proposal: Integrated Shopping Complex Development

Attention: Development Planner JACK LEWIS.

 

 

Dear Sir,

 

 

As 15-year annual visitors to Peregian Beach, and now new property owners in Peregian Beach we wish to lodge a submission opposing the above development.

 

We have chosen to relocate to Peregian Beach from Melbourne because of the current, village atmosphere and ambience of Peregian Beach. The various Plans and zoning of available space in Peregian was also important in our decision.  In our opinion, this development will undermine and negate all our reasons for moving. We strongly object to the applicant’s proposed re-zoning of OPEN SPACE/RECREATION to COMMERCIAL USE. This development will remove scarce and much-needed public recreation land. The zoning for community recreation space MUST be retained,

 

A summary of our major objections are as follows –

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

 

2. The applicant has not demonstrated that there is a need for the use to be located in the Open

Space Recreation zone.

 

3. The proposal is inconsistent with the Sunshine Coast Sport and Active Recreation Plan which

clearly demonstrates a shortage of open space for recreational purposes.

 

4. 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.

 

5. The applicant’s economic report 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.

 

6. 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.

 

7. Approval of the proposed use will detrimentally affect the amenity and character of the

intended recreational and community area and its surrounding residents.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Richard Hill and Lois Hill
