Subject:            RE: Building application Lot 17 The Oasist


Hello again,

Apologies for this late reply – it took a while to get hold of the people I needed to speak to.
The main person providing informa on to the commi ee is from our body corporate management service. She also
liaises with other body corporate experts.

In discussions with her/them today, we were able to establish a much be er posi on regarding your applica on. The
two areas of concern that remain are:
        a) The whole of the estate has been approved by Council. This includes an estate landscape plan, road plan, and
        infrastructure plan. Any changes to what was approved in the DA need to be signed off by Council. For example,
        whenever we remove a tree on common property, the commi ee has to obtain council approval and agree to a
        suitable replacement. In your case, you would need to ask Council to approve the changes to the landscape plan
        and to the road alignment. This should not be onerous – Council have always agreed with our landscape
        changes. The road change may present more issues as things like turning circle for garbage trucks come into
        play. However, again I think this shouldn’t be too difficult.
        b) Approval from the commi ee is dependent on the cost of the proposed changes. If the cost of landscape and
        road works does not exceed $3,000.00 then the commi ee is able to vote to determine the outcome. If the cost
        exceeds $3,000.00 then a general vote of all owners is required. I believe this would require an EGM.

The previous informa on we received regarding exclusive use turned out to be not relevant; I didn’t explain the
situa on accurately enough and the advisor thought there were changes of use involved.

The commi ee is keen to approve your applica on but we are required to follow the appropriate rules. May I suggest,
as a next step, you contact Council to find out their likely response to changes to the approved DA.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss any issues.

Regards,
Keith Calvert

Hi Keith,

Thank you so much for your response and pending approval. We acknowledge the requirement to provide additional
information as required by the Design Guidelines.

I am however confused about the requirement to have to gain exclusive use for the requested change to the road way.
That is all we seek to do – change the direction of the road to gain access to the driveway in our desired location.

The current road leading up to the property boundary is not specifically identified as an exclusive use zone. The road is
on common property, as is the area we desire to utilise.

The road is indicated as an outline, however without specific title, only that it resides within the overall Common Property,
that abutts the client’s property. There are no exclusive use zones to any of the other driveway accesses on the estate
either.

The requested requirement does not make any lawful sense. Please review this requested requirement with your
advisors, as it does not appear to accurate.

Regards,
gavin maddock

Subject: RE: Building application Lot 17 The Oasis

Hello Gavin,

The commi ee met yesterday to consider Peter Hull’s recommenda ons for the proposed dwelling at Lot 17 Oasis
Drive.
Peter recommended the applica on be approved subject to complete informa on being received. This includes fully
dimensioned plans, stormwater design, schedule of external finishes, geotechnical report, structural engineers
cer ficate, landscape plan and method of works statement.
The commi ee has been advised that in order to allow the proposed driveway to occupy common property, the
applicant would need to gain a right of exclusive use. As far as I am aware, this can only be achieved by unanimous
agreement of the body corporate (not just the commi ee) at a General Mee ng (either AGM or EGM). If this approval
were to be received, the applicant would then need to apply for either a transfer of land in the tle or an exclusive use
en tlement. This process would involve a quan ty surveyor, valuer, legal representa ve, etc.
Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

Regards,
Keith Calvert
Chairman – The Oasis Body Corporate Commi ee

Good Morning Keith,

I trust you are well.

Please find attached the revised design application for the new residence at Lot 17, 35 Oasis Drive for your review and
consideration for approval.

We have addressed each of the items you have listed below.

    1. Please note that the prescribed tiled roof area is 60%, as referenced in the “9163 Supplementary Information for
       Building” document in clause 3. Roofing on page 2. These roofs have been adjusted accordingly.

    2. We have reshaped and repositioned to the swimming pool to comply

    3. The existing boundary wall heights remain as is and the ground levels that abutt them also.

    4. We have realigned the road / driveway to swap out the amount of landscape in order that the common property
       garden remains the same size.

I trust that the revisions will meet with a favourable response.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any queries you may have.

Regards,
gavin maddock

Subject: Building application Lot 17 The Oasis


Hello Gavin,

The Oasis Body Corporate Commi ee has considered your applica on for Lot 17, 35 Oasis Drive, Noosa Heads. We have
referred to the covenants and by‐laws and consulted with the reviewing architect Peter Hull. A er considerable
discussion and evalua on, we request you resubmit the applica on taking into account the following points:
                                                                      4

Page 5

1 Tiled roof – a minimum of 65% of the whole roof is to be led, not just the top level. The flat area shown in the
original applica on as landscaped roof is considered a roof. At present, only around 23% of the roof is shown as led.

2 Swimming pool ‐ The Body Corporate Commi ee has consistently determined that the water in a swimming pool be a
minimum of 900mm from boundary where the pool abu s the golf course. This requirement remains in place.

3 Ground level – The proposed plan shows an increase in ground level within 1500mm of the boundary for
approximately 70% of the western boundary and 100% of the north‐western boundary. This is not permi ed. The
specifica ons of the exis ng walls do not allow for increased retaining.

4 Driveway realignment – The proposed driveway occupies common property. Considera on would be given to a
comparable swap. That is, if x square metres of common property is required, then x square metres of Lot 17 be
provided for common property garden.

I wish to emphasise that all residents have faced the same restric ons from covenants and by‐laws when designing their
dwellings. In many instances, people may have preferred something different but were required to comply with the
wishes of the developer (and subsequently, under delegated authority, the body corporate commi ee).

Could you please resubmit your applica on, taking into account the above‐men oned points.
The commi ee is happy to answer any ques ons you may have.

Regards, Keith Calvert
Chairman – The Oasis Body Corporate Committee
