Dear Sir/Madam

RE: REQUEST TO CHANGE EXISTING APPROVAL___________________________________
Application for a Material Change of Use for a Detached house Located at 38 Park Crescent,
Sunshine Beach and Described as Lot 598 on RP48112: MCU15/0070

In October 2015, Council issued a preliminary approval for a Material Change of Use of Premises for a
Detached House at the above site in Sunshine Beach which required the site cover of the detached house to
be reduced to 35%. Following submission of amended plans which reduced the site cover, Council issued a
Development Permit in November 2015.

The applicant has now commenced detailed design drawings for the detached house which has resulted in
a change to the approved building with a reduction in height and scale of the building. The applicant
therefore seeks approval to change the existing approved plans with the revised plans and amend
conditions 3 and 8.

The proposed changes include:

       •   Removal of upper level/mezzanine bedroom and ensuite;
       •   Reduced ground floor level kitchen/ dining and deck areas;
       •   Reduced lower ground floor area;
       •   Reduction in overall length of building;
       •   Removal of pool at rear of site and relocation to front of site;
       •   Reduced undercroft area and conversion to rumpus;
       •   Increased soft landscaping at rear of site;
       •   Lighter building construction;
       •   Screening provided along full length of southern side of ground floor deck as required under
           condition 7 of the approval;


PROPOSED CHANGES TO EXISTING APPROVAL

Condition 3 – replace approved plans with plans submitted as part of this application prepared by Nof
Architects.

As detailed above the amended plans are a significant reduction in the overall height and scale of the
building, provide a more lightweight building and provide significant landscaped areas to the beach.
