    preparation is to occur for the integrated development. Functions/conferences will
    continue to be held at the Club House as has always been the case, along with the existing
    restaurant facility. The kitchen facilities in the resort will be a satellite kitchen, which is
    reasonably expected with any resort development.

5. The proposed development once approved will be required to comply with the
   requirements of the Building Code of Australia in order to obtain a development permit
   for building works. The comments made in the submission about this issue are not relevant
   for a development application for a material change of use, with the development
   designed by an experienced architect in hotel design.

6. With respect the comments made in Table 1, the following comments are also provided,
   as relevant:

        a. As explained above, the proposed design of the tennis courts is entirely appropriate
           in circumstances where the NJKHTs are being protected and do not exceed 8m in
           height with the lights hooded to prevent offsite impacts. The use of the ground
           level in this location is appropriate given there are no other environmental values
           on this part of the land, which forms part of the proposed integrated resort
           development with tennis courts and a carpark to the west, existing lawn areas, pool,
           and accommodation to the south.

        b. As explained above, the existing clubhouse facilities and restaurant can be used for
           functions which will form part of the integrated Resort Complex. The Landscape
           Concept Plan shows lawn areas within existing cleared areas within the site. The use
           of these areas as part of the resort development is entirely appropriate now that
           the tennis courts have been relocated from this area.

        c. As explained above, the only change made to the design more recently since being
           publicly notified is the relocation of the tennis courts to above the upper parking
           areas, in order to retain the NJKHTs. No other changes have been made to the
           proposal and the comments made about the … presence of a 500 seat function
           facility… are false and misleading. While the changes made are minor, these
           changes were made in response to a further request for information made by the
           Council. Consequently, consistent with the Development Assessment Rules the
           changes do not affect the assessment process.

        d. The environmental and acoustic effects from the proposed development have been
           addressed in the application material. Offset planting is proposed within the golf
           course as recommended by Dr Watson who is an experienced and suitably qualified
           ecologist. The additional planting of Koala and Black Cockatoo feed trees in the
           golf course will provide significant community benefit. The comments made by the
           submitter are not substantiated by any evidence.


                                                                                       6|Page
