There is a separate development approval over the adjacent Precinct F for a Multiple Dwelling comprising 137
Dwelling Units and Associated Facilities (Shop, Restaurant, Multi-Function Room and Gym). This approval has been
the subject of a number of amendments, with the most recent modification to the approval granted by Council on
18 January, 2018 (refer 132005.1133.6). Precinct F is the subject of a current Change Development Application,
which is currently being assessed by Council. Conditions of this approval include a sunset date of 15 December
2026, at which time the uncompleted aspect of the approval lapse if the whole of the approval has not happened.

It is intended to develop Precinct E2 and F in an integrated matter to allow for internal road and pathway
connections between the two sites. We note that the recent reconfiguration of a lot (to facilitate the creation of
up to 26 balance lots) approval issued by Council further reinforces the staged and integrated manner within which
these development approvals will be delivered.

2.0       DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES

The proposed changes to the existing development approval are described in detail in the sections below (refer
enclosed architectural drawings).

2.1    Change to Description of Development

It is proposed to change the description of the development to reflect the proposed reduction in dwelling unit
numbers anticipated by this change request. The new description of development will be as follows:-

Material Change of Use – Multiple Housing Type 4 – Conventional (39 Units)

2.2    Changes to Approved Drawings

It is proposed to amend the approved drawings as follows:
       The overall number of dwelling units from 29 to 39. The proposed density of development (i.e. 113.4
         persons) remains consistent with the anticipated density under the Noosa Plan of 100 persons / hectare
         (i.e. 118 persons) and remains consistent with the original approved density of 118 persons;
       The proposal changes the overall product mix and number of units from the previous CDA from 28 x 3
         bedrooms and 1 x 2 bedrooms units to 22 x 3 bedrooms units and 17 x 2 bedrooms units. These changes
         include:
                  o Blocks 23 & 24 – The proposal has been revised to include an additional 2 units on each level.
                       The previous CDA product mix included 3 x 3 bedroom units on Levels 1 & 2. The product mix
                       has been changed to 3 x 2 bedroom and 2 x 3 bedroom on Levels 1 & 2 and includes changes
                       to the internal layout of units.
                  o Block 25 – The proposal has been revised from 5 x 3 bedrooms to 4 x 3 bedrooms and 6 x 2
                       bedrooms, with internal changes to the previous layout.
       The footprints of Blocks 23, 24 & 25 have changed slightly, however, are considered to be of a similar bulk
         and scale as previously approved.
       The proposed changes result in a total GFA of 4,717.3m², which is a reduction of 2.2m² in GFA from the
         latest development approval. The GFA complies with Council’s maximum GFA requirement of 40% of total
         site area and/or the equivalent maximum allowable population in persons multiplied by 40m².
