2.1. Background
Material Change of Use
An application (132007.1259) for a Material Change of Use for visitor accommodation,
restaurant, shops and office was originally refused by Council on 21 August 2009 but
subsequently settled on 12 February 2010 through the appeal process. The application attracted
2 properly made and 4 not properly made submissions. The approval was over 4 lots, 3 with
frontage to the David Low Way and a larger lot to the rear of these lots, all accessed from the
then Unnamed Road, which is now Sandpiper Court.
The approved development comprised a commercial building fronting the David Low Way, which
included 306m² of restaurant, 387m² of retail uses on the ground/podium level and a low cost 58
bed visitor accommodation use to the first floor with parking underneath this building. To the rear
of the site and behind the Peregian Beach Hotel, 2 three storey accommodation buildings
consisting of 32 x 3 bedroom units, pool/BBQ area and 30 individual 2, 3 and 4 bedroom “beach
shacks” were approved. The most western portion of the site was conditioned to be dedicated to
Council as parkland for environmental purposes.
On 24 January 2012 a permissible change was issued by the Planning and Environment Court
(Appeal No. 4783 of 2011*). The primary changes included:
   Staging the development into 3 stages, being:
     o     Stage 1 – commercial building fronting David Low Way and rehabilitation and
           dedication of the parkland to Council.
     o     Stage 2 – The 2 larger visitor accommodation buildings (32 x 3 bedroom units) to the
           rear of the site.
     o     Stage 3 – 30 Beach Shacks (2, 3 and 4 bedroom individual buildings); and
