Subject:                     Further Advice - Units 1 and 2 / 35 Katharina Street NOOSA HEADS (132002.220222.1)



Dear Danya,

Upon review of the abovementioned Minor Change Application at Units 1 and 2 / 35 Katharina Street,
Noosa Heads, Council requires further information due to the proposal resulting in additional
GFA/plot ratio. I note the submitted plans indicate that the closure of the balconies will result in an
increase of 10.43m2, however there is not adequate information detailing the outcome of the resultant
GFA/plot ratio in regard to the development as a whole (inclusive of the three (3) duplexes that were
approved under 22783DA).

Further, it is noted that the duplexes were originally approved under the 1990 Planning Scheme,
therefore, there are different definitions (i.e. refer to GFA). In accordance with the Act, the change is
to be assessed against the Planning Scheme that was in effect at the time it was approved, however,
due weight is to be given to the current Planning Scheme provisions.

Could you please provide amended plans and supporting information that clearly demonstrate the
impact of the proposed changes on the development’s GFA/plot ratio and assessment against the
Planning Scheme the development was approved under and the current Planning Scheme
provisions. Specifically, please provide:
    Existing and proposed GFA/plot ratio calculations for each dwelling and the development as a
       whole; and
    provide an assessment against the 1990 Planning Scheme Provisions and the current Noosa
       Plan 2020 (20 March 2026).

Please provide this information at your earliest convenience.

Should you have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to contact me.
