     1. The proposed changes do not involve a new use with different or additional impacts.

          Comment: The overall development is retained as an integrated multiple dwelling development
          comprising 151 dwelling units, 4 less units than originally approved, together with minor ancillary
          activities including a shop, café/restaurant and communal recreation facilities. There are no new uses
          proposed that would create different or additional impacts.

     2. The proposed changes do not result in the application applying to a new parcel of land.

          Comment: The permissible change request applies to the same parcel of land as the current development
          approval, albeit the legal description of the property has changed from Lot 3 on SP178323 to Lot 7 on
          SP178340.

     3. The proposed changes do not dramatically change the built form in terms of scale, bulk and
        appearance.

          Comment: The proposed changes seek to retain the general building layout, with some minor redesign
          and re-siting of buildings to ensure efficiency and viability of construction. The overall built form and
          scale will remain the same ie. a mix of 2-3 storey buildings with basement carparking, designed to step
          down the slope so as to respect the site’s topography and minimise visual impacts.

     4. The proposed changes do not change the ability of the proposal to operate as intended.

          Comment: The proposed changes will not affect the ability of the proposal to operate as intended ie. as
          an integrated residential/resort community.

     5. The proposed changes do not remove a component that is integral to the operation of the
        development.

          Comment: The proposed changes do not seek to remove any components from the previous permissible
          change approval. Instead, the changes seek to reduce the overall number of units and number of persons
          on the site, whilst resulting in a minor increase in overall gross floor area from the previous permissible
          change approval. However, the proposed GFA increase in GFA to 18,610m2 remains less than the original
          approved GFA of 21,950m2.

     6. The proposed changes do not significantly impact on traffic flow and the transport network, such as
        increasing traffic to the site.

          Comment: The proposal is for 151 dwelling units which is 4 less than the number of dwelling units
          originally approved. An overall increase of 13 carparking spaces is proposed, however this is not
          anticipated to generate significant impacts on traffic flow or the existing road network beyond what was
          already anticipated under the existing development approval.
