RE:    Change Representations – 131998.981211.5 – 59 Kabi Rd, Cootharaba

The approval was received by the applicant on the 3 January 2025. A notice to suspend
the appeal period for 20bd was made on the 7 January. A confirmation email was received
from Council confirming the change representations are due by 3 March 2025.

We seek to work with Council for a timely and reasonable amendment to the conditions
within the applicable timeframes. In accordance with the Planning Act 2016, Please find
attached the following change representations.

Condition 44 - Accreditation

44. The owner/operators of the proposed development are required to be members
      of the Biological Farmers of Australia. Accordingly there is not be any use of
      non-organic chemicals on the site.

Since the original approval there have been changes to the associations covering organic
farms. We seek for the condition to be amended to be in accordance with best practice or
deleted.

Condition 57 - Currency


57.    The Group Farm Stay Accommodation and Associated Activities use lapses
       if the use has not happened by 19 December 2026 unless an application to
       extend the currency period is approved by Council.

The currency should be 6 years from decision taking effect. This is in accordance with the
planning act for MCU approvals, as well as allowing time to construct buildings and
infrastructure.

58.    Plan amendments - Plan to be amended to incorporate the recommended fire
       access trail within Lot 394 M371117 (see Plate 23 of the Bushfire Hazard

       boundary until it meets the eastern boundary of the subject site, before
       gaining access to Road 176. The fire access is to be detailed a being used
       for emergency access only.

The updated plan attached to this request includes the link to Cootharaba Downs Rd. This
