location of the water quality devices located in the north eastern corner of lot 6 will also result in
the retention of a cluster of active feed trees. These design changes have increased the number
of trees to be retained and available for Glossy Black Cockatoo.
Furthermore, a consequence of the original approval, land previously zoned for development was
dedicated as Nature Refuge and the rehabilitation of degraded lands has resulted in a net
increase in habitat protected in perpetuity within the vicinity.

4.     CONSULTATION
The application did not require referral to any agencies.
The application was reviewed internally by:
     Development Engineer
     Environment Officer – Biodiversity
     Environment Officer – Water Quality
     Infrastructure Services
     Waste and Environmental Health

5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The application is for a change to the existing development approval for Multiple Housing – Type
3 Retirement & Special Needs; Commercial Business – Type 2 Medical and Wellbeing – Type 1
Health; and Development Permit for Reconfiguring a Lot (1 into 2 lots) at Grasstree Court and
Ben Lexcen Drive, Sunrise Beach. The change relates to the Material Change of Use component
of the development approval only. Specifically the changes relate to amendment of the
development footprint, elevations, building heights, yield, car parking layout and the number of
bedrooms within some of the units. Consequential changes to conditions are also required.
The proposed changes are generally consistent with the original development parameters of the
approval and the changes are considered to be supportable under the Planning Act provisions.
The intent of the existing approval was for residential care and retirement facilities and the
amended development will remain subject to the approved use type.
