It is noted that the site has contributed towards contributions as part of previous development approvals over
the site.

This development application has been prepared in accordance with the Sustainable Planning Act
2009 and is being lodged electronically. The following documents are attached with this application:

         1.        Proposal plans prepared by Middap Architecture;
         2.        Completed IDAS Forms 1 and 5; and
         3.        Council application fees will be paid separately.


Council application fees are based on the following rates:
                     Office up to 100m2 (GFA) - $4845.00
                     Plus m2 thereafter - $6.08
Council fees total $5197.61 plus a Unity Water fee of $360.00 for an infill development within an
established urban area. This fee is considered unreasonable based on:

     •        the amount of work that will be required to be undertaken by staff noting it is a consistent
              code assessable application;
     •        the fee is for assessment of an additional 275m2 of office space on the site;
     •        the site has been previously approved for commercial uses on the site and there is an
              existing approval over the site;
     •        the proposal provides an appropriate infill development for the area and has minimal issues.

A reduced fee of $3500.00 is therefore requested to be imposed for the application.

Please contact our Sunshine Coast office if you require any further information and/or clarification in
relation to this proposal.


Yours sincerely,
