     Dear Kerri

     RE:                 REQUEST FOR A PRE-REQUEST RESPONSE NOTICE IN RESPECT OF A
                         CHANGE TO A DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL 22402 DA BECKMANS ROAD,                          -             -

                         NOOSAVILLE: STOCKI.:.AND LAKE DOONELLA PTY LTD.



     We act behalf of Stockland Lake Doonella Pty Ltd regarding a Preliminary Approval for a Material
     Change of Use originally granted by the then Noosa Shire Council on 6 February 2003 and
     subsequently subject of a Court Order dated 05/09/2003 in respect of the abovementioned land.

     This Preliminary Approval was for the following aspect of development: Material Change of Use
    -

        Dwelling Houses (181), Group Housing Development (66 Dwelling Units) and Educational
     Establishment (Secondary School of 750 Students). The same Decision Notice (22402 DA)
     also granted Development Approval for Lot Reconfiguration in respect of the school site and
    this has since been enacted.


   A subsequent Decision Notice (23616 DA) was issued on 24 February 2005 and this granted
    Development Approval for the following: Material Change of Use of Premises: 181 Dwelling
    Houses, Group Housing Development of 43 Dwelling Units and Estate Sales Office, as well as
    Lot Reconfiguration: 185 Residential Lots & 43 Group Title Lots. The most recent version of this
    approval is a Change to an Existing Approval issued on 16 August 2010, with the file reference
    2003/221132; as you know, this approval has been enacted in part, with a little under 50% of the
    approved lots having been created to date.

   As you are aware from various communications during the past year, our client has instructed us
   to seek a further change to the existing approval, primarily to accommodate flexibility in the
   staging of the development. Our application will also address minor changes to the road layout,
   as well as to the  configuration of some lots. The most significant change, however, is the creation
   of a direct road link to the adjoining development, "Beckmans Green" to the east. These changes
   will be detailed in a separate application.


    One consequence of the creation of the "link road" is the loss of area previously intended to
   be utilised for the treatment of storm water in that part of the site. Whilst the objectives of the
   approved Stormwater Management Plan were, it seems, acknowledged by Council at the time
   as being difficult to comply with during certain rainfall events, the loss of treatment area

   resulting from the construction of the link road makes the targets even less likely to be
   achievable. However, the approved water quality objective for this project significantly
   exceeds the standard currently accej:)ted by Council and the State Government; we believe
   that there was a verbal acceptance by Council officers with whom Brown Consulting’s Brook
,-
   Kitson (who has since left that firm) met last year, regarding the lessening of the storm water
   quality objectives in relation to those originally approved.




                                                                                                                     1006 JS,js Request for Pre-Request Response Notice,doc
