Dear Sir/Madam,

Re: Development Application for Material Change of Use
Community Use — Wellbeing Type 2 Social

26 Emerald Street, Cooroy
Lot 1 on SP275863

Applicant: Cooroy-Noosa Genealogical Historical Research Group Inc.

Please find herewith an application for a Development Permit for a Material Change
of Use of the above property. The application has been made in accordance with the
provisions of the Noosa Plan and requires impact assessment.

The application includes the following:

1. IDAS Development Application Forms 1 & 5.
2. The Owner’s Consent Form.

3: The Planning Report including Proposal Plans.

Please confirm lodgement of the application with notification of Council’s file
reference and details of the application fees. We will arrange payment of the fees
within 48 hours of notification.

It is noted that the Director of Planning and Infrastructure “has delegated authority to
determine to partially or wholly waive a Development Application Fee where strict
application of the scheduled fee is obviously unreasonable for the type of application
being received”.

Accordingly | respectfully request a refund of all or part of the application fees as the
scheduled fees appear to be unreasonable in this case; as:

e The applicant is generally financed by public fund raising.

e The applicant is constructing a building for a public use.

e The building being constructed will stand on Council land.

e The applicant is constructing a Council asset.

We look forward to Council assessing the application at its earliest convenience. Do
not hesitate to contact this office if you have any queries.
