Proposal

It is proposed to create an Easement for Access over Emt A on RP174716 and a
triangle of land at the north-east corner of Lot 1 on RP167258 to benefit Lot 2 on
SP166038.

This will provide an all-weather access to Lake Macdonald Drive without impact upon
any adjacent properties.

A Plan of the proposed Easements for Access is attached (ref: 16-4339AA).

It is intended that Emt A on RP808997 within No. 288 to also remain and provide
access to No. 290 in the case of emergencies.

Noosa Plan

The proposal complies with Specific Outcome (32) of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code
of the Noosa Plan; as the driveway provides a safe point for ingress/egress with a
suitable width and is appropriate for the level of traffic.

Fees

It is noted that the application fees for an Easement for Access are $3,718.00 as
outlined in Section 7.5 of Council’s Register of Regulatory Fees and Commercial
Charges. However it is also noted that the Director of Planning and Infrastructure
“has delegated authority to determine to partially or wholly waive a Development
Application Fee where strict application of the scheduled fee is obviously
unreasonable for the type of application being received’.

Accordingly | respectfully request a refund of part of the application fees as the
scheduled fees appear to be unreasonable; as they are in excess of the fees for the

subdivision of land into 2 Lots. It is considered that there is limited work required to
assess the application.

Please advise of the application fees and the applicant will lodge them directly with
Council.

Do not hesitate to contact this office if you have any queries.

| thank you for your consideration in this matter and look forward to your assessment
of the Development Application

Yours faithfully
