THE REEF HOTEL & THE RISE APARTMENTS, 37- 49 NOOSA DRIVE, NOOSA HEADS,
QLD, 4567
LOT 0 ON SP147914

On behalf of the applicant, ALH Group Pty Ltd, we hereby make a change application to
Development Approval 22776 DA pursuant to clause 78 of the Planning Act 2016. In summary,
the application seeks approval for minor amendments to the approved plans for The Reef Hotel
and The Rise Apartments.

Please find enclosed the following documentation to facilitate Council’s assessment of the
request:

   Planning Act Form 5, duly completed;
   Owner Consent; and
   Attachment 1 – Proposal Plans, prepared by Cayas & Ward
   Attachment 2 – Hydraulic Plans, prepared by Cushway Blackford
   Attachment 3 - Arborist Report, prepared by Consult Arborist
   Attachment 4 – Building Certifier Advice & Flow & Pressure Test Results

Given the minor nature of the proposed changes, we believe that an application fee of
$3,010.00 should be payable for this request, and this will be paid on receipt of Council’s
invoice and reference number.
