1. This is a resident area that is slowly being taken over by short stay when there is a massive shortage of family accommodation.

   I do not agree with increasing short stay capacity both in terms of limited residential property and also on the impact of amenity for other residents with noise and nuisance from holiday makers.

2. Peregian Beach is a treasured community for many local families who value our way of life. Please keep it this way. There is plenty of short term accomodation on the coast and some new options already in the immediate area. The increase in short term accommodation in a quiet area will mean an increase in traffic and noise for residents. Do not kill the cruisy, local Peregian Beach vibe with another unnecessary short term accomodation option. Please maintain the current zone restrictions in place to preserve the PB community - that is the Peregian Beach draw card … not more accomodation.

3. The approval of this application would risk further compromising the nature of what is currently a low residential area that is populated by largely families with children.
   The entire eastern side of David Low Way has approval for SSL all year round and has lost its community. I oppose this application and anymore that will impact genuine residents in order to house SSL/holiday makers in Peregian Beach.

4. Peregian Beach is a jewel.. It has a lot of units, resorts and holiday properties available through local agencies .
   On the beach side of David Low Way there’s a mix of tourist accom and private residences housing local families.
   On the other side of the David LowWay it’s idyllic low res where families with young children live and play safely. It tajj kg es a village to raise a child… and that’s what happens with the positive neighbourhood community that exists.
   It is inappropriate and unfair to corrupt that feeling of safety by allowing party houses/STL / home businesses side by side that will be housing strangers - random people that may or may not have criminal histories, may or may not have criminal intent, may or may not be obnoxious, noisy, selfish, aggressive…
   Already Noosa is on the map for having so many STLs and so little accom available for workers. Every additional STL property is one less for a local family that can contribute to the community.
   Vote no to this one and any other proposed for low density residential. People and housing before Investors and profit.

5. How many more STA's is Council going to approve in Peregian Beach and the Eastern Beaches? Will they let every house become an STA? Will the Eastern Beaches become a wasteland of empty houses during the week to then become over-crowded with visitors at the weekend?
   Will Council consider the rental housing crisis - how many people are forced into living in their cars just so that interstate visitors can come here and party and inter-State investors can make more money at the expense of us locals.
   Council needs to consider the impact that STAs have on the community - with each new STA, a local resident loses a neighbour, a child loses a potential best friend next door, a new family loses the opportunity to move into the neighbourhood and become part of, and contribute to, a community. With each new STA, the community of local residents losses with the only winner being rich investors.
   STAs are a rot on the fabric of our community; with each STA we have less and less of a chance at building meaningful connections in our community, which we know is so important to residents. Each new STA is a headache for, not only the immediate neighbours, but the entire street, as visitor come and go and clog the street with cars, have parties in quite streets that keep everyone up at night. STA’s turn friendly neighbourhood streets into zones of conflict and annoyances.
   Please stop the spread of STAs. We all want people to live in our community, we want neighbours living next to us, not visitors! We want our children to have friends to play with in the street, not late night party houses. We want friendly conversations over the fence, not constant worries about who will show up this weekend. Our businesses want people to liver here and spend their money where every day of the week, not just weekends.

6. This part of Peregian Beach is one of the last remaining areas near the beach where you can live amongst a permanent community of families. We were determined to live amongst local families rather than holiday makers and chose to sacrifice other lifestyle factors to purchase in this specific area for that reason alone.

   The families in this area have a strong community focus and know each other and respect each other. If the council don't uphold this residential focus then the impacts on the community are felt by all the residents and this has a knock on effect for the whole village vibe long term.

   Secondly, the long term housing crisis is a strong indicator that council must uphold the focus on housing families in stable residential accomodation rather than supporting the profit focussed, short term accommodation option.

   Keep the community focus, keep our village vibe.
   Thankyou
