TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
MCU16 0079 01 - APPLICATION TO VARY EXISTING CONDITION SECTION 4 ITEM 3

| refer to a meeting with Michael Cantori on 8 May, 2018. The purpose of the meeting was
to discuss three conditions detailed in MCU16 0079.01. The issues associated with two of
the conditions were satisfactorily resolved at the meeting. It was determined that a formal
submission should be made to Council in relation to the third condition, seeking to remove a
restriction on the permitted number of Electronic Gaming Machines (EGMs) at Tewantin
Noosa RSL & Citizens Memorial Club Inc. (TNRSL)

Currently the condition states — “The proposed development provides for an extension to the
gaming area (providing for a maximum of 180 gaming machines), smokers terrace, store,
children’s lounge, basement carpark area and other internal modification as shown on the
approved plans.”

This application seeks to remove the reference “providing for a maximum of 180 gaming
machines”.

In support of this application we provide the following information:

The Club was established in 1920 on one land lot at the current site. During the following
90+ years the Club has undergone a number of alterations to increase its footprint which has
involved some important land acquisitions. In this time there were ongoing refurbishments
to ensure the facility offering remained viable and relevant. Today the Club now occupies
eight land lots at the corner of Memorial Avenue, Doonella Street and Pelican Street and is a
significant community facility.

The TNRSL has a current membership that exceeds 11,000 with 400+ of these being
returned service personnel. The Club employs 95+ staff and predominantly sources good
and services from within the local community which has a very positive impact on the local
economy.
