Minor Change Development Application - MCU24-0143

Post the approval, the applicant has explored the prospects of obtaining Building and Plumbing
Approval for the structures, as required under Condition 5 of Development Permit MCU24/0143.


A building certifier was consulted through the process, with it being identified that the structures
are not able to meet energy efficiency, bushfire and waste management requirements under the
National Construction Code.


Noting the inability of the structures to meet the National Construction Code, this application
seeks approval for two (2) permanent modular buildings in the same location as the existing
structures. It is proposed that these structures be staged with the northern cabin (Cabin 1)
presenting stage 1 and the southern cabin (Cabin 2) presenting stage 2.

the internal living areas.


The proposed cabins are modular (high-set) structures and contain a height of approximately 4
metres above ground level. As demonstrated in Figure 3 below, the façade of the structures
