                     here are self-contained and also have their own separate access. Even with
                     an interconnecting door between the secondary dwelling and the detached
                     house, the developer is seeking an approval so that the Reed Beach Houses
                     can be occupied as two separate self-contained dwellings.

                     PBCAI submits that if any approval is granted the Secondary Dwelling should
                     either be removed in its entirety or, at very least, the associated kitchen and
                     living area should not be approved.

                     The current DA proposes that these Reed Beach Houses will be for
                     permanent residents and with 2 persons sharing each of four bedrooms that
                     could result in 80 permanent residents in the Reed Beach House alone.

                     As stated in the Information Request at page 9 of 13
                            “The proposed land use is a substantial variation from that which has
                            previously been approved on the site or is supported under the Open
                            Space Recreation Zone. As the proposed style of development is more
                            consistent with that expected to be found within the nearby Semi-
                            Attached Housing Zone it is considered that the development should
                            be compatible to both the Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions
                            for the Eastern Beaches Locality related to the Semi-Attached Housing
                            Zone and the existing built form and established character within
                            Peregian Beach.

                     In the opinion of PBCAI, the design for the Reed Beach Houses is upside
                     down. The bedrooms should be on the ground floor and the living areas on
                     the first floor. This would enable the living areas to have greater solar access
                     and, if the secondary dwelling units are removed, give them the possibility of
                     some outlook, which is not available with the current design.

                     Despite their lack of any outlook and with minimum solar access, the
                     developer proposes to sell these Houses for $850,000. Apparently, the noise
                     from the Peregian Beach Hotel and its refrigeration and air-conditioning plant
                     is not expected to deter buyers.

                     The lack of outlook from the Reed Beach Houses is clear from the following
