Dear Jada


RE:         APPLICANT’S RESPONSE TO COUNCIL’S IR
            Development Application Seeking Development Permit for Material change of Use for
            Warehouse and Caretakers accommodation over Land Located at 9 Bartlett Rd
            Noosaville and described as Lot 48 on RP173566


Reference is made to the information request issued by Council and dated 14th January, 2022 (“Council’s
IR”) in response to the above development application.

Council’s IR identified six (6) items of additional information which Council considered are required before
Council can complete its assessment of the above development application.

The applicant has agreed to respond to all six (6) items in Council’s IR as follows:


Item 1:       Provide details of the frequency of after-hours deliveries that warrants the need for 24-
              hour care.

Applicant’s Response: The applicant owns and operates a property development business that
specialises in the construction and fit out of medical and professional suites as well as
specialty shopping complexes, child care centres and the like. The applicant is regularly
sourcing specialist medical, materials and other equipment and products associated with the
construction and fitting out of the properties that develop. There are many significant
challenges associated with the delivery of these products and they require storage until
required.

Due to the high cost of some equipment and the logistics in obtaining these items to ensure
these are available on time for construction and fit out they require secure storage. These
items which in some cases extremely expensive, bulky and hard to source with extensive wait
times due to logistics and overseas delivery issues.

The reason that the applicant is undertaking the construction of this property is because the
equipment requires storage in a monitored and highly secure premises.

The applicant will be sleeping on site when equipment is being delivered and stored to ensure
the security of the equipment. The caretaker’s accommodation (which is essentially
subordinate to the primary storage use) will be used sporadically perhaps to approximately 14
