Cover Letter_Precinct E2_CDA_FINAL

In light of the changes outlined herein, it is advised that a separate (yet concurrent) Change Application (“minor
change”) has been lodged over Precinct F. It is noted that the changes to the Precinct E2 and F approvals will also
require minor amendments to the reconfiguration approval.

2.0       DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CHANGES

The proposed changes to the existing development approval are described in detail in the sections below (refer
enclosed architectural drawings).

2.1    Change to Description of Development

It is proposed to change the description of the development to reflect the proposed reduction in dwelling unit
numbers anticipated by this permissible change request. The new description of development will be as follows:-

Material Change of Use –Multiple Housing Type 4 – Conventional (29 Units)

2.2    Changes to Approved Drawings

It is proposed to amend the approved drawings as follows:
       Reduce the overall number of dwelling units from 37 to 29. The proposed density of development (i.e.
         94.8 persons) remains consistent with the anticipated density under the Noosa Plan of 100 persons /
         hectare (i.e. 118 persons);
       Amend the overall design of the development by:-
             o deleting current Block 26, with the gross floor area that was previously attributed to this building
                 being generally re-distributed across Blocks 23, 24 and 25 which are to be retained. This will
                 result in small increases in the building footprints of these buildings, however, overall unit yield
                 with be proportionately reduced with the introduction of a new ‘premium’ unit offering;
             o deleting the approved pool, pool deck and bar-be-que area. Residents of Precinct E2 will be able
                 to use the integrated pool and recreational facilities located in Precinct F;
             o Introduction of a ‘maintenance building’ in the area of the site previously intended for the pool,
                 pool deck and bar-be-que area. The ‘maintenance building’ has been setback 6m from the road
                 reserve and sited to ensure previous ‘bushfire recommendations’ within the approved Bushfire
                 Hazard Assessment and Management Plan are achieved. The building will allow for storage of
                 site landscaping and maintenance equipment (e.g. rid-on mowers etc) and include a small
                 basin/wash up area.
       Reduction in the number of carparks across the site from 80 spaces to 68 spaces to reflect the new unit
         mix and yield;
       Rationalisation of pedestrian networks across the development;
       Minor amendments to the driveway and parking arrangements across the site to realise an improved
         development footprint and accommodate the new ‘maintenance building’. It is recognised that the
         amendments to the driveway will also necessitate a consequential amendment to the approval over the
         adjacent Precinct F (Council Ref: 132005.1133.6). As indicated in section 1.0 of this correspondence
         above, a separate (yet concurrent) Change Application has been lodged over Precinct F reflecting a
         corresponding change to the driveway arrangement. We note that this change will also require minor
         amendments to the associated reconfiguration approval (e.g. reciprocal access easements between
         Precinct F & E2);
