Ozcare Noosa Minor Change v1

1.0 Background
1.1       Approval history
The site has an area of 2.5ha and is occupied by the ‘Ozcare Noosa Heads Aged Care Facility’, a Residential care
facility originally approved by Council in 1996 (ref. 3B-449). A subsequent Development Permit 2001/210127 was
issued on 9 August 2001, which was then changed via development application 216575 DA dated 7 December
2005, refer to Attachment 9. This application seeks to make a minor change to development approval 216575 DA.

facility building footprint, with a small extension to south that is occurring within the ‘future expansion area’
identified on the 216575 DA approved site plan, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2.
