A Plan of the Proposed Easement for Pedestrian Access is attached (Ref: 19-
5060AA).

It is intended that the proposed Easement for Pedestrian Access include the stairs
from the road, the steps along the southern boundary and the gravel path across the
front of the dwelling to the southern boundary of Lot 54 (No. 12).

It is also intended that the Easement be volumetric; that is, it is limited in height and
depth, as it traverses above the basement car park and below and over-hanging
upper floor.

Noosa Plan

The proposal complies with Specific Outcome (32) of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code
of the Noosa Plan; as the stairs, steps and path provides a safe point for
ingress/egress with a suitable width and is appropriate for the level of traffic.

Fees

It is noted that the application fees for an Easement for Access are $3,718.00 as
outlined in Section 7.5 of Council’s Register of Regulatory Fees and Commercial
Charges. However, it is also noted that the Director of Planning and Infrastructure
“has delegated authority to determine to partially or wholly waive a Development
Application Fee where strict application of the scheduled fee is obviously
unreasonable for the type of application being received”.

Accordingly, | respectfully request a refund of part of the application fees as the
scheduled fees appear to be unreasonable; as they are in excess of the fees for the
subdivision of land into 2 Lots. It is considered that there is limited work required to
assess the application.

Please advise of the application fees and the applicant will lodge them directly with
Council.

Do not hesitate to contact this office if you have any queries.

| thank you for your consideration in this matter and look forward to your assessment
of the Development Application

Yours faithfully
