Dear Sir/Madam,


RE:       LODGEMENT OF A DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION
Material Change of Use – Development Permit for a Material Change of Use – Type 1 Warehouse
(Self Storage) and Operational Works (Advertising Device) over land situated at 62 and 64-66 Rene
Street, Noosaville and described as Lot 59 on RP228906 and Lot 280 on SP104321.

Martoo Consulting has been engaged by the applicant Sharpe Enterprises to submit a development
application seeking approval for a Material Change of Use for a new Type 1 Warehouse for self
storage which will form stage 3 of an existing storage facility known as OnGuard Self Storage. The
application also seeks approval for Operational Work – Signage across the site.

The Noosa Council is the Assessment Manager for this development application under the
Sustainable Planning Act 2009.

The applicant seeks approval to construct a new building on 62 Rene Street which is proposed to be
used for self storage units and will link to the existing storage facility at 64-66 Rene Street.

This letter supports the above development application by explaining the site and the applicant’s
rationale for the proposed land use and concludes by providing our brief town planning assessment of
the proposed extensions.
