RE:       Notice of Changed Application & Further Response to Information Request
          (MCU23/0007 & RAL23/0001) – situated at 45 Maple St and 47a Myall St, Cooroy

Further to the long-standing application with Council for the Community Facilities zoned site in
Maple St Cooroy, this notice seeks to change the existing application for Multiple Dwelling Units
and Reconfiguring a Lot, as well as advise Council of the change of ownership for the site.

      1. Background
      •   Nov 2021 - Prelodgement Meeting (PLM21/0068).
      •   Mar 2022 - MCU for 11 Multiple Dwellings lodged - Council kept the application as not
          properly made and waited for 9 months for feedback from Council's heritage consultant.
      •   Jan 2023 - Application relodged for Multiple Dwelling Units - 11 accessible dwelling units
          and 4 into 2 lot subdivision (MCU23/0007 & RAL23/0001).
      •   April 2023 - Public Notification - No submissions.
      •   Dec 2023 - Deed of Agreement provided to Owner. Approval to be conditionally approved
          subject to Deed of Agreement for NDIS units, covenants and $40k bond to applicant.
      •   Jan 2024 to Aug 2024 – The then owner proceeded to sell site and advises Council not
          to proceed with decision as it is not viable and has health concerns.
      •   Mid 2024 - Owner also held off from proceeding with the understanding the Noosa Plan
          amendments were to either provide an annotation for the Community Facilities zoned site
          or rezone to Medium Density Residential.
      •   June 2023 - No Annotation provided to Community Facility zoned site or rezoning - no
          submission was made for this site specifically - as the site was in process of being sold.
      •   Aug 2024 - Prospective new owner starts due diligence of site and investigate State
          Facilitated Development process for 29 small dwelling units in similar configuration.
      •   31 Oct 2024 – Site settles with new owners (Myall Rise Pty Ltd).
      •   16 Sept 2025 – Prelodgement meeting undertaken with new owners and Council
          (PLM25/0031) for 28 multiple dwelling units with Blue CHP to manage the affordable units.

      2. Proposal

After reviewing the minutes of the Council Prelodgement meeting, the owner has undertaken the
following actions:

      o   Reduced the number of units from 28 to 19 small dwelling units.
      o   All Multiple Dwelling Units are to be affordable rental premises, with the development to be
          sold to Blue CHP (registered community housing provider).
      o   Carparking provided at a rate of 1 per unit.
      o   Updated frontage works to Maple St allowing for reinstatement of driveway to residential
          house and an additional carparking bay within the streetscape.
      o   Updated architectural plans with sympathetic timber and tin presentation to complement
          the existing house.
      o   Updated engineering and stormwater plans removing the need for bioretention basin, while
          allowing for increased landscaping along the boundaries.
