                               two manager/caretaker’s units. The Community Management Statement
                               for any or all Bodies Corporate having control of the development, or any
                               part thereof, shall incorporate this requirement.”

                     The DA is totally in conflict with this approval as can be seen below:

                     The proposal:
                     Multiple Housing of 3 types – 88 Beds (or Persons)
                     They are all proposed for PERMANENT RESIDENTS.
                           The Kamala & Marram Houses (in the centre of the ring road) There are
                           9 of these with 3 bedrooms. (27 persons). Carparking is 9x2. Estimated
                           price $825K

                               The Wallum Units (along Rufous Lane). There are 7 of these with 3
                               bedrooms. (21 persons). Carparking is 5x3 and 2x2. Estimated price
                               $725-800K

                               Reed Beach Houses (behind the Hotel) – There are 10 of these with 4
                               bedrooms upstairs and living down. (40 persons). Carparking is 10x3.
                               These units will be approximately 6m below the Hotel level. Estimated
                               price $850K.

                     Essence Hotel/(Motel) & Conference Centre – 40 beds
                           The developer proposes to develop and run the hotel with 20 visitor
                           accommodation rooms and 12 apartments (4 x 1 bedroom and 8 x 2
                           bedroom) which are described as “multiple and visitor”. (40 persons).
                           The 12 apartments are proposed for PERMANENT RESIDENTS.
                           The Hotel will apparently employ 15 people (full-time and part-time)
                           including conference facilitators. The Conference room is small and
                           apparently will seat 40. 40 Car parks are proposed with all bar 3 (Visitor
                           parking?) under the Hotel and behind a security gate.

                     3. Lack of compliance with the Noosa Plan

                     PBCAI’s Objection to the DA is firstly based on its lack of compliance with the
                     Noosa Plan Open Space Recreation zone requirements. PBCAI specifically seeks
                     to protect and retain the site for low cost visitor accommodation reflective of the
                     site’s previous use as a caravan park.

                     The Noosa Plan resulted from a community consultation process and was
                     subsequently approved by the State Government. It should not lightly be ignored
                     by a developer being granted an approval which significantly conflicts with the
                     Plan.

                     In addition here, in order to obtain the Council’s previous approval, although it
                     should be stated that no attempt was made to get community approval, this same
                     developer agreed with conditions which kept the then proposed development in
                     compliance with the Town Plan (See above). Now that developer, six years later
                     and having done nothing with the approval, proposes another development in


                                                                                                           3
