Dear Greg,
Carpenters Road, Cooroy — Community Housing Proposal

Thank you for the opportunity to meet recently and discuss the community housing proposal at
Carpenters Road, Cooroy.

The St Vincent de Paul Society currently manages approximately 500 units of housing in Queensland
through its housing subsidiary. We are very concerned about the current housing crisis on the
Sunshine Coast and other parts of the state. For that reason, the Society intends to double its supply of
community housing over the next 5 years, primarily through the development of new dwellings.

Based on a very high-level assessment, the proposed development at Cooroy would suit the Society’s
community housing needs. We would be very interested in continuing our discussions with you with a
view to assessing how the Society might acquire part, or all, of the development should it be
successfully completed.

Yours faithfully,

\ Sw
