2.    SITE DETAILS
2.1   Background
A Development Permit for Material Change of Use of Premises - Multiple Housing Type 2 – Duplex
and Development Permit for Operational Work - Stormwater, Drainage Works, Earthworks,
Carparking, Access and Landscaping was issued on 29 August 2017.
A negotiated decision was issued 8 November 2017, amending Condition 2.
In June 2018 an application was lodged seeking to change the development approval to allow an
additional open visitor car space on site and so provide a total of 4 car parking spaces on site.
This application was refused by Council on 25 June 2018.
Subsequently, on 6 August 2018, the applicant lodged an appeal to the Planning & Environment
Court. The appeal sought that the Court approve the application for a minor change to allow an
additional open visitor car space for the duplex dwelling currently under construction at 38 Park
Crescent, Sunshine Beach. During the course of the appeal the applicant amended their plans
changing the proposed car space to space for a motorbike/bicycle and addressing the streetscape
concerns raised by Council.
At its Ordinary Meeting held on 20 December 2018, Council resolved to settle the appeal and on 22
February 2019 a Court Order was issued to allow the approval to be changed to reflect the amended
plans provided.
