3.0            Proposed Change
3.1        Overview
Since approval on 20th of July 2023 Ozcare has undertaken further detailed design and identified opportunities to
consolidate the some of the areas of works.

The Site Plan has been updated (refer to Attachment 1) to contain the following modifications on the basis of
detailed design to enhance overall building functionality.

      •   Refuse area now included in service area adjacent to kitchen.
      •   Reduction of built form along the eastern boundary.
      •   Extension of the driveway.
      •   Additional eight (8) car spaces including two (2) disabled parking spaces.
      •   Reconfiguration of the internal communal and administration areas.
      •   Inclusion of Pump House and Water Tanks.
      •   Inclusion of new electrical Mechanical Services Switchboards (MSSB) and Generator House.

All of the changes are generally consistent the overarching scale and intent og existing Ozcare Noosa Heads
Aged Care Facility approval. In particular, these proposed modifications do not alter building height, site cover,
nor the proposed total number of persons on site. The proposed modifications also do not significantly impact
ecology or bushfire risk considerations. A few existing trees are required to be removed to establish the new
water tank, pump house, electrical Mechanical Services Switchboards (MSSB) and generator house, but are
located outside of the Biodiversity overlay. To offset this circumstance, trees located on the northern corner of
the site previously identified to be removed for the refuse storage and turn around area are now being retained
as a result of the proposed changes. The final tree removal, retention and replanting outcome will detailed within
a subsequent Operational Works application.

A minor increase in impervious area is occurring. An updated stormwater management plan will be prepared as
part of a subsequent Operational Works application.

This request is made under section 78 of the Act and is to be administered, assessed, and decided as a ‘minor
change’ in accordance with section 81 of the Act.
