     1. The overnight occupation of the caretaker’s accommodation will not occur more than 200 days
     per annum and no more than 60 consecutive days at a time.

     2. The owner of the site will maintain records of such occupation which can be made available
     to Noosa Council as and when required.

Council’s three grounds for refusing the proposed Caretaker’s Accommodation use are appreciated
however these grounds are challenged. The development application as originally lodged with Council
addressed the situation whereby the area of the site was below the 2000m 2 as preferred PO7 in the Low
Impact Industry Code in the Noosa Plan 2020.

It is unknown on what basis that Council has determined that there is …’no demand for 24 hour care of
buildings, operations, plant or equipment.’ The applicant has continued to advise Council that there is
a demand. Council has responded by acknowledging a demand of sort when it suggested the use of a
security guard service. The applicant is adamant that there is a demand based on its experience in
undertaking the proposed warehouse activity associated with the proposed Caretaker’s Accommodation
use. The applicant again confirms that a security guard service is not suitable. The applicant would like
the opportunity to discuss this further with Council as there appears to be some confusion.

It is suggested that the proposed Caretaker’s Accommodation use meets the overall outcome 2(l) in the
planning scheme and the purpose of the Low Impact Industry Zone for those reasons previously
provided to Council.

Consequently the applicant requests that Michael Klobas meets with Council as soon as possible in
order to discuss the above representations. It may be that following such a meeting that the applicant
makes further representations.

The applicant therefore requests that Council issues an amended decision notice which includes the
above amendments to the above based on these initial representations and any subsequent
representations to Council before Council completes its assessment of these representations.

Council remains welcome to contact me directly if Council would like to discuss the above or when
Council is in a position to meet to discuss these representations.



Yours faithfully,
