RE: NOOSA NORTH SHORE ECO-TOURISM PORTAL - PETRAC

We are pleased to submit an application for Preliminary Approval for Material
Change of Use on behalf of Petrac Land Holdings Pty Ltd (Petrac) to facilitate the
development of the Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal. Information
concerning the Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal will also be available on
Petrac’s website www.Petrac.com.au

Petrac has developed the concept for the Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal
over several months using an inclusive process of Enquiry By Design that has
brought together Petrac, the project team, the community and Council to create a
vision and collaboratively design a concept for the site. An intensive five-day
workshop in May 2008 established the principles and planning direction for the
Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal and this direction has been maintained
and expanded since the Workshop, culminating in this application. Petrac is
committed to continuous community consultation and expects and looks forward
to ongoing dialogue with Council and the Community.

This Development Application seeks Preliminary Approval for Development in
Accordance with the Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal Development
Code. The Code establishes the overall planning direction and agreed set of
planning parameters for the future development of the Noosa North Shore Eco-
Tourism Portal. This will ensure that the overall planning objectives are met and
that the different precincts and components operate as an integrated whole,
regardless of ownership or management structure.

To enable development to commence, an application for Development Permit
providing the details of the particular stage or component must be made and
approved. These applications for Development Permits will be code assessable.
Each application will be required to demonstrate compliance with the Noosa
North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal Development Code.
