Dear Glen

Peregian Beach Villas – Development Application Development Permit for Material Change
of Use of Premises - Visitor accommodation Type 4 and Multiple housing Type 4, 226 David
Low Way, Peregian Beach described as Lot 12 on SP 207105


Reference is made to the information request made 18 February 2014, about the abovementioned
development. Below is the response to each of the items that have been raised.
Planning
Issues 1, 2 & 3 - Site Cover, Gross Floor Area & Population Density
1. Please provide amended plans meeting the planning scheme requirements for site cover.
2. Provide amended plans demonstrating a reduced GFA for the site.
3. Provide amended plans demonstrating the units are 1 bedroom pursuant to the planning scheme
   interpretation of Population Density.


Please find attached revised architectural plans (refer Attachment 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D & 1E) for the
development that provide the following development parameters:
    •    Site Cover of 478m² being 39.8%;
    •    Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 527m²;
    •    Maximum Population Density of 16 persons based on the revised floor layout.
The proposed development complies with the planning scheme with respect to site cover, being about
40%. The balconies for all units have been reduced in width by about 0.4m, which reduces the amount
of site cover overall on the site.
It is acknowledged that the proposed development exceeds the allowable GFA and population density
under the planning scheme. However, the proposed development is generally consistent with the scale
of the approved motel development over the land, having a GFA of 527m² and a population density of
16 persons.
A number of amendments have been made to the proposal plans including the alteration of the access
to the units at the ground floor and the size of the garages, which means that the GFA of the proposal
is now consistent with the GFA of the approved motel development, which is 528m². The entry area to
all of the units at ground floor have been modified as discussed, which has reduced the GFA and
provided a better design.
All of the units have a GFA of about 55m², excluding unit 4, which has a GFA of about 87m². This
includes unit 2, which previously had a greater amount of GFA because the entry was fully enclosed.
