                 7) Substantially Increased Traffic & Congestion is assured during construction as standing traffic
                 queues currently form at all accesses to the roundabout, particularly at daily peak times,
                 exacerbated further during school & public holidays. The proposed development risks being a
                 serious source of additional congestion & given the layout/landform, nigh on impossible to
                 mitigate in the future.

                 8) Foreground Vistas of the wetland & its vegetation across Noosa National Park-Emu Swamp
                 Section to Mt Cooroy will be diminished, in fact lost, to the bulky Hotel/Motel building’s
                 projected heights. Council needs to ensure height specifications are accurate & the current
                 expansive views are maintained. Here’s an opportunity to protect & showcase the intent of
                 Noosa’s logo ‘Different by Nature’ by altering design or lowering the amount of fill to protect
                 the invaluable amenity of open space & ‘community vistas’.

                 9) Other concerns include density of buildings & infrastructure within the precinct, the provision
                 of scarce green space/vegetation/shade, preferred orientation to sunlight & natural breezes, the
                 provision of public access pathway between two story buildings, with little to recommend
                 passive surveillance, particularly at night. Light pollution is a further issue as every new light
                 bulb impacts adversely on Peregian’s disappearing night sky, particularly of concern with the
                 density planned for this site.

                 10) So many missed opportunities to work with community in consultation with Noosa Council’s
                 Master Plan for Rufous St & the adjoining laneway to add to the amenity. The north western
                 corner’s existing vegetation could have seen the creation of green space/parkland to embellish
                 the precinct for visitors & local community with potential to make genuine connections between
                 Rufous St /laneway with this development. Instead, it separates itself from the village feel, in fact
                 opposes the local residential community & village activities associated with the function &
                 interaction of Veggie Village, Tennis Club, Kindergarten & Community House, all nearby
                 neighbours of the planned development.

                 This proposal conflicts with community values, endorsed by all who reside & those who choose
                 this relaxed pedestrian location, where thongs, even bare feet are the norm. It delivers instead,
                 undesirable urban density & city lifestyle that’s aesthetically at odds with Peregian’s much
                 sought after open space linkages, relaxed village character & community engagement.

                 I urge Noosa Council to protect & retain the village of Peregian Beach, to stand strong behind
                 the intent of the Noosa Town Plan & refuse this Development Application.
