Dear Sir/Madam


RE:     LODGEMENT OF DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION – E DEVELOPMENT _______________
Development Permit for Material Change of Use of Premises Duplex Dwellings x 4,
Reconfiguration of Lots (Boundary Alteration) and Operational Works (Landscaping) situated
at 126-132 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville, described as Lots 1,2,3 & 9 on MCH 3881: NC Oliver
Properties Pty Ltd

Please find enclosed a development application for the above proposal which has been prepared in
accordance with the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 and lodged with your Council as the Assessment
Manager of this application.

The enclosed development application includes:

                 An electronic copy of the Proposal Report including Proposal Plan and Locality Plan;
                 Completed IDAS Forms 1 and 5;
                 Completed SCC E Development form; and
                 Council’s application fee will be forwarded under separate cover.

An initial estimate of Councils and Unity Water fees are $17,742.00 which is considered excessive
considering:

                    •   the proposed use is a consistent use in the zone
                    •   the site has previously been approved for the same development
                    •   the proposal generally complies with the relevant outcomes of the specific codes
                    •   the site is not physically constrained
                    •   the four duplex developments are of a similar form and therefore similar assessment
                        would be undertaken for all four sites.

A reduced fee of at least 30% is requested.

Please contact our Sunshine Coast office if you require any further information and/or clarification.

Yours faithfully,
