                  extension the relevant period in of the approval in 2009 which could not have been


                  approved were this not the case.


            (b) the community’s current awareness of the development approval; and


            Assessment   -
                             Research undertaken in respect of land sales in the vicinity of the site has shown

            that none of the properties that directly adjoin the land have changed owners since the

            approval issued on 6 March 2006. Significantly, few property sales have occurred in the

            wider area around the land since this same date. This is evidenced by the Sales Smartmaps

            included at Attachment 4 which show this data. This is significant in that it shows that the

            awareness of the        proposed development by the most affected members of the community
            remains at a high level and ownership of properties surrounding the site has not changed

            to any great degree.



            It is further noted that much of the development surrounding the site (particularly the


            adjoining Viridian site) is holiday        accommodation which       has   a   transient residential


             population who would have little awareness or interest in the development approved on

            the subject site.



            It is for these reasons we believe that community awareness of the development approved

            for the land is unlikely to have significantly changed in recent years, and certainly not to the

            extent that would warrant Council refusing to extend the currency period of the application.



            (c) whether, if the request were refused-

            (i)   further rights to make a submission may be available for a further development

            application; and

            (ii) the likely extent to which those rights may be exercised; and


            Assessment       -
                                 The original development proposal was impact assessable. There were 32

            properly made submissions received during public notification of the application. The

            development was subsequently approved by Ministerial call in on 6 March 2006.


            Furthering the concepts above were a new development application to be submitted as at

            today’s date, it is likely that the same submitters would exercise their right to make a
