There is a separate development approval over the adjacent Precinct E2 for a Multiple Dwelling (Type 4 Conventional
– 39 Units & 1 Manager’s Unit) in accordance with recent modification approval issued by Council on 22 March 2022
Council Ref: MCU15/0109.04.

Precinct E2 and F have been developed in an integrated manner to allow for internal road and pathway connections
between the two sites. We note that the reconfiguration of a lot (to facilitate the creation of up to 26 balance lots)
approval issued by Council further reinforces the staged and integrated manner within which these development
approvals are being delivered.

The change application has been prepared in response to a Show Cause Notice RM25/21318. It is a minor change
that involves conversion of common property from ancillary staff “tearoom” and a storage room to residential
functions, consistent with the overall development approval for multiple dwellings.

Section 79(2) of the Planning Act 2016 requires a change application to be accompanied by the landowner’s consent,
unless (among other things) the site is “excluded premises”. Relevantly, excluded premises is defined under the Act
at subparagraph (b) to mean:

      i. … or
      ii. the responsible entity or assessment manager considers the application does not materially affect the
          premises and that, given the nature of the change, the owner of the premises has unreasonably withheld
          consent; or…

On about 6 May 2026, the applicant requested an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of the Body Corporate for
the Parkridge Green Noosa North Community Title Scheme (CTS), being the owner of the Common Property, to
consider and vote on a motion to provide landowner consent to the lodgement of the change application. On 19
May, the Body Corporate requested additional detailed information, including approved building plans, engineering
reports, waterproofing certificates, occupancy approvals, leasing records, and any council correspondence. Our
client provided all requested information on the same day.

Despite repeated attempts, the Body Corporate has refused to respond to the request for an EGM.

The proposed change, as described below, is considered minor amendment to the approved development and does
not have any material impact on amenity, carparking provision or bulk and scale of the built form.

In such circumstances, the site is considered “excluded premises” because the application does not materially affect
the premises and the owner has unreasonably withheld its consent. As a result, consent of the owner, the Body
Corporate for the Parkridge Green Noosa North CTS is not required.

The proposal involves changes to the use of Common Property within the basement of Block 14 of the Parkridge
Noosa development, which has been constructed. The affected land is described as Lot 0 on SP300918 of the
