23537 DA & 06/2456 Request changes to existing approvals Beach Road Noosa North Shore · 132003.221037

Development Permit for a Material Change of Use for `Eco-centre'


As outlined in our original request submitted to Council, we requested that Condition
10.4 of the Eco-centre approval be removed. As far as we can tell, this requested
change has not been determined by Council, as it was similarly held in abeyance.


Whilst the future status of the eco-centre has been more recently resolved, the
requested change remains a valid consideration and indeed, a critical matter for the
receivers in seeking to advance the project to its conclusion.


The facts and circumstances in support of the requested change include:
•   The various project components are unable to be operated as a fully integrated
    resort, given the partially completed status of the project, and the likelihood that
    separate entities will own and operate individual components.
n   In particular, the operator of the Noosa North Shore Resort (which includes the
    eco-centre) may not necessarily be the operator of the visitor accommodation on
    the south site (Beach Road Holiday Homes and Beach Road Retreats).
•   Therefore it is not practical to require their interaction and reliance upon each
    other except where necessary, such as the provision of the sewerage treatment
    services (at a cost) as governed by the relevant easements.


Conclusion


Thank you for your consideration of the above.         We would greatly appreciate if
Council could attend to these matters as soon as possible. As Council is aware, the
receivers have commenced a marketing campaign and the final resolution of these
matters will remove any perceived uncertainty for incoming purchasers, developers
and operators. Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me
on (07) 3666 5200.


Yours sincerely,
