   Dear Sir

   REPRESENTATIONS ON INFRASTRUCTURE CHARGES NOTICE
   DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE – EXTENSION TO KABARA
   NURSING HOME

   20 TOPAZ STREET, COOROY
   LOT 102 SP236318

   We refer to the Adopted Infrastructure Charge Notices no’s 406 and 407 issued in respect of the
   development permit for material change of use for the above land (MCU13/0030). The following
   representations are made in respect of these notices.

   While the approved use is defined under The Noosa Plan as Multiple Housing Type 3 – Retirement and
   special needs, Kabara is an aged care (nursing home) facility, which is clearly reflected in the
   approved plans.

   In this regard we refer to Councils Policy for ‘Infrastructure Contributions (Charges) Rebates for
   Eligible Community Organisations’. Noosa Care Inc, the applicant, owner and operator of the aged
   care facility, is a non-profit community organisation (refer attached). Noosa Care Inc is an eligible
   community organisation under the policy, classified as a charitable organisation. In accordance with
   table 1 of the policy, Noosa Care Inc is eligible for a 100% rebate of Councils component of the
   infrastructure charge relating to the aged care facility extension.

   We request that Council issue amended Infrastructure Charge Notices taking into account the rebate
   provisions of Councils Policy for ‘Infrastructure Contributions (Charges) Rebates for Eligible
   Community Organisations’.

   Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me direct.

   Yours faithfully
   KHA DEVELOPMENT MANAGERS
