Dear Sir/Madam

RE:    EXTENSION APPLICATION                               ______________________________
Development Permit for Material Change of Use for a Multiple Dwelling Type 2 Duplex x 4,
Reconfiguring a Lot (boundary realignment and easement) and Operational Works (Roadworks,
Earthworks, Stormwater, Access, Carparking & Landscaping) for Premises located at 126 -132
Gympie Terrace, Noosaville and described as Lots 1,2,3 & 9 on MCH3881

Martoo Consulting has been engaged by NC Oliver Properties Pty Ltd being the owner of the above
sites, to request an extension to the currency period for the above development approvals. The
applicant seeks to extend the relevant period by an additional 2 years.

A number of development approvals have been issued over the site including a development approval
for 4 duplex buildings and reconfiguration of the lots approved by Council in 2005. This approval was
extended on a number of occasions, however lapsed in 2011.

The applicant lodged a new application for 4 duplex buildings, reconfiguration of a lot and operational
                                                                             th
works in 2013 which was subsequently approved by Council on 10 February 2014 under
MCU13/0211, REC 13/00136 and OPW13/0862. The approval indicated a four year relevant period
       th
from 10 February 2014 for the duplexes and reconfiguration and 2 years for the operational works.

A separate application for Operational works was subsequently submitted to Council for Roadworks,
Earthworks, Stormwater, Access, Carparking & Landscaping and approved by Council under
                                                                    th
OPW15/0185. The approval indicates a two year relevant period from 4 December 2015.

Due to a number of factors, the owner of the site has not been able to set aside the necessary funds
for the construction of the duplexes. The owner therefore requests an extension of time for the MCU,
Operational Works and Reconfiguration of a lot for a further 2 years noting:

         •   The Noosa Plan includes the site in the Attached Housing zone which supports the
             development of a duplex dwellings across the sites;

         •   The current approval was assessed under the 2006 Noosa Plan which is still relevant over
             the site and local area; and

         •   The Natural Resources Overlay is relevant for the site and the development is consistent
             with the development provisions for this Overlay.
