An approval for Operational Works was approved in 2008 for a pontoon.

On 28 October 2016, Council issued a ‘generally in accordance’ letter associated with Unit 2. This letter
considered that additions and alterations pertaining to the unit, which included an additional 15m2 of gross
floor area relating to partial enclosure of a balcony, and extension to the bathroom into the courtyard area
were ‘generally in accordance’ of the existing development and not in need of a further approval.

The Proposal
The proposed minor change application seeks to make alterations to Unit 6 which was approved as part of
51997.2283 for Multiple Dwelling Units x 6. The proposed alterations include:
    + enclosing 3m2 of terrace area which is already under roof;
    + enclosing 12m2 of an internal courtyard area, which is already under roof, to expand a bedroom,
        ensuite and bathroom.
