     Qualified Person
     2.     For the purpose of preparing a Geotechnical Report, and for certifying
            geotechnical stability for the development, a qualified person is considered to be
            a person who:
            2.1. is a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ); and
            2.2. has a degree in civil engineering or engineering geology; and
            2.3. has a minimum of 5 years’ experience in the field of geotechnical

B.     Find the following sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict with the
       Planning Scheme:
       1.    The multiple dwelling use is existing on the site and the development does not
             involve intensification of the use in regard to the number of units or population
             density.



REPORT
1.   PROPOSAL
The application seeks a Development Permit for renovations and additions to a unit within an
existing unit development of 3 units on the site. The land is steeply sloping and the existing
units are configured with 2 units at the front of the site and 1 at the rear. Substantial
additions are proposed to the rear unit, comprising:
     Enclosure of an existing roof deck to create a new storey containing a bedroom,
       ensuite, study and deck.
     New basement board storage room.
     Renovation and extensions to the existing ground and first floor levels, including
       additional decks and atrium area.
     Addition of a new passenger lift.
While the multiple dwelling use on the site is existing, the works are considered to constitute
a Material Change of Use due to the increase in scale of the building proposed. In
particular, portions of the works will exceed maximum building height of either 8m or 2-
storeys, including:
    A new lift shaft to approx. 9.4m
    A section of exterior feature timbers/battening to approximately 8.6m
    A portion of the building constitutes 3 storeys
The proposal plans are included as Attachment 1.
