Re: Development MCU 12/0023,215-219 David Low Way Peregian Beach.


I am writing a letter of support to the changes proposed to development MCU 12/0023. I
have read many letters (otten from the same person) to the local paper opposing this
development, letters of which claim to be the voice of the community in Peregian Beach. I
did not elect this person or people as my voice and would like the opportunity to offer my

opinion.

As I understand one of the changes to the development is to include additional outdoor

dining facilities. I support this change. The whole of Peregian Square has outdoor dining,
that does not create excessive noise to local residents, and most nights Peregian Square
and its restaurants are empty and quiet by 10pm. Outdoor dining creates a welcoming

atm’osphere for both .Iocal families and tourists as evening entertainment which is ’preferable
to additional pub or club venues, and it supports the local community economically. There

have been no "letters to the editor" voicing complaints over new restaurants with outdoor

dining options in and around Peregian square over the last two years, so I am confused as                 1

                                                                                                          1
to why there are suddenly objections to oJ..ltdoor dining on the other side of the road. I am
also perplexed as to how additional outdoor dining opposite a busy road with traffic noise
and next door to a popular pub (with outdoor space) would create more noise above and’

beyond what alr~ady exists.

I also understand that a second change to the development proposal is to include Juliette
balconies for the units. Again I support this change. This would not offer any further
increase in noise pollution as far as I can see above the previous accommodation facilities
which included open tents and caravans.


If we are to develop the economic benefits that tourism brings to the whole of the Sunshine

Coast, then it does not make any sense in this climate to build units without open balconies,
or restaurants that   require patrons to be locked inside. The development approved already
appears to suit the environment, is low rise and with plenty of green space and family
orientated facilities. I look forward to enjoying additional dining facilities myself within walking
distance and do not exp~ct additional noise pollution as a result of these changes.
