envelope; the location demonstrated at Figure 1 below.

The applicant’s wish to establish a small Dwelling House and shed within the south western portion of the site. The future
intent is to reclassify the small Dwelling House to a Secondary Dwelling and build a large main primary Dwelling House to the
west of the reclassified Secondary Dwelling. The location of the proposed structures is illustrated at Figure 2 below.

The proposed small Dwelling House (later to be reclassified as a Secondary Dwelling), features an open plan kitchen, dining
and living area, that flows onto a roofed deck, one (1) bedroom, separate bedroom, and storage space. The internal living
space features a gross floor area of 51.5m2 and a roofed deck of 1.7m2, equalling a total area of 53.2m2. In this regard, please
refer to the Design Plans prepared by Saltair Modular Pty Ltd included at Appendix A.

It is noted that the laundry will be established within the shed, and that the larger Dwelling House (to be classified as the
main primary residence) will be established on-site in the future at such time that funds permit.

In support of the proposed building works, the applicants have unknowingly undertaken unlawful earthworks (excavation
and filling) on-site, without realising that an approval for a Development Permit for Operational Work was required. The
Engineering Plans prepared by BAX Engineering Pty Ltd included at Appendix B, demonstrate the extent of on-site
earthworks, which is discussed at Section 3.0 below.
