Cover Letter - Minor Change Application

Figure 1 - Aerial Photograph of site and surrounding area

The original development on the site for a Group Housing Development (4 Units)was approved by Council
on 3 January 1996 under the 1995 Town Planning Scheme. The development site is collectively known as
Quay West Noosa.

On 18 September 2006 Council approved a change to the approval which related to Unit 4. The changes
involved establishing a pergola structure in the southeast corner of Unit 4 to replace a shade sale. The
pergola was approved to have a minimum setback of 2.6m - 3.2m to the canal.

The Proposal
The proposed minor change application seeks approval for 21m2 shade structure to be established in the
northeast corner of Lot 5 and new open treaded stairs to access the jetty. The pergola structure would have
a minimum setback of 3.2m to the centreline of the canal wall. The open treaded stairs would have setback
of 2.8m. The proposed pergola would replace an existing shade sail structure that extends from the building
to the side boundary. The structure would cantilever over the 4.5m canal setback area to the canal to ensure
that the flood detention capacity of the waterbody is retained. The structure has a maximum height of 3.3m,
is an open and lightweight, and fronts the canal. The northwest elevation would include operable louvres to
for sun control purposes.

The design and siting of the proposed shade structure is further illustrated in Figures 2 - 4 below:
