For clarity, Table 1 below sets out a comparison between the previous DA (as previously stated and
as measured) and the current proposal. The previously approved plans, demonstrating the
measurement methodology underpinning the calculations, is included at Attachment 2.

In summary:

•     The current proposal provides a lower plot ratio, less gross floor area and a lower site cover as a
      result of the improved design, compared to what has been previously approved on the site.

•     Nevertheless, it is not necessary for the proposal to propose a plot ratio that is less than the
      previous approval as the Applicant is seeking a new development permit, rather than changing the
      previous approval. It is on this basis that we put to Council that the proposal satisfies the tests in
      Specific Outcome O6 of the Eastern Beaches Locality Code.
