Dear Paul,

RE: INFORMATION REQUEST RESPONSE - 2210-31715 SRA - 3-7 SERENITY CLOSE, NOOSA
HEADS (LOTS 10 & 11 ON SP195871)

| refer to SARA’s information request (6 December 2022) associated with the change
application located at the abovementioned address. Our response deals with items 3 to 9
of the information request.

3. The application material has not provided a response against State code 25 or any
information that can be used to address State code 25.

The information request given by SARA (6 December 2022) appear to be premised
upon the Change Application representing an opportunity to reassess the whole of
the development afresh. Where there is a change in the building footprint which
impacts on koala habitat, it is only the additional impacts beyond the impacts of
the approved development which can be permissibly assessed. Given the changed
development is consistent with the original development approval, the relevant
considerations arising from the change to the koala regulations in the Planning
Regulation 2017 are not engaged. An Ecological Assessment Report (Litoria
Consulting, v 1.0, July 2023) (EAR) (encl.) has been prepared which demonstrates
that the proposed change to the existing development approval will result in a net
gain in koala habitat through the additional retention of areas containing ecological
values.
