       RE:       Request for Extension of Relevant Period
                 Application for Development Permit for Material Change of Use of Premises for
                 a Multiple Housing - Type 2 Duplex at 305 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville and
                 described as Lot 2 on RP65319, Parish of Weyba

       Martoo Consulting has been engaged by Roger and Pam Lever, owners of the above site, to
       request an extension to the currency period for the above development approval.

       On 27th August 2007, the then Noosa Council approved an application for a Duplex Dwelling
       on the site at 305 Gympie Terrace Noosaville. The application was approved subject to a
       range of conditions including a condition that indicated the permit would lapse on the 26th
       August 2011.

       The applicant is requesting a change to the existing development permit for an extension of
       the currency period of two years. In support of the extension the applicant submits:

                  •    The site is still included in the Attached Housing zone and duplex dwellings are
                       consistent uses in this zone;

                  •    The development is consistent with the development provisions for the
                       Residential Uses Code and the Noosaville Locality Code of the 2006 Noosa
                       Plan;

                       The surrounding area currently supports unit development;

                        Residents in the area would be aware that the site would be developed for
                        duplex dwellings;

                  •     Due to the Global Financial Crisis the applicant has had difficulties in obtaining
                        finance for the proposal and the current market is not supporting this type of
                        development.

       It is noted that the application was lodged and approved under the 29^Q6o a Plan which is
       still currently in place for the area.                          \I         / Q"N
