Dear Sir/Madam,

RE:      WITHDRAW NOTICE STOPPING A CURRENT PERIOD AND ADDITIONAL
         INFORMATION
Application for Material Change of Use (other Changes) for Visitor Accommodation Type 4
Conventional (extension to existing visitor hostel) over Land described as Lot 164 on RP94566
and situated at 106 Pacific Avenue, Sunshine Beach and located at 102 and 106 Pacific Avenue,
Sunshine Beach

I refer to the above application which was lodged with your Council as Assessment Manager and our
correspondence of 29th August 2018 which stopped the Decision Period. In accordance with section
32.5 (b) of the Development Assessment Rules, I withdraw the notice of the 29th August 2018. The
decision period has now recommenced and the applicant requests that the application be determined.

Further to discussions with Council planning staff, an updated noise report was requested to be provided
to address the existing and proposed noise levels of the use. A Noise Level Impact Assessment has
been undertaken by David Moore & Associates Pty Ltd which details that the proposal complies with
noise limit criteria for the complete 24 hour day with the provision of an acoustic barrier to the rear of
the site.

I wish to further advise that the applicant was dismayed that there have been incidents on the existing
premises that have upset adjoining residents. As a result of being advised of these issues, the applicant
immediately undertook the following to ameliorate noise impacts:

      •   Relocated table and chairs from rear of site;
      •   Employed a night security person to ensure noise is kept to appropriate levels at all times and
          that there is no noise after 9pm;
      •   Security person to carry phone and phone number distributed to adjoining residents.

As detailed above, the proposal complies with relevant requirements in relation to noise and the
applicant has undertaken further actions to ensure that the development is compatible with the
surrounding area.
