Dear Sir,

RE:  RESPONSE TO FURTHER ADVICE REQUEST
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT – MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE FOR A MULTIPLE HOUSING TYPE 4
CONVENTIONAL (22 UNITS) LOCATED AT 16 SERENITY CLOSE, NOOSA HEADS AND
DESCRIBED AS LOT 9 ON SP195871.

I refer to the above application for a minor change and Councils request for further advice dated 30th
September 2021 which detailed that further information was required in relation to the request to delete
condition 9 of the approval. Condition 9 states:

       Condition 9. The open space and setback areas are to be landscaped in accordance with
       Council’s Policy on Landscaping Guidelines and a properly prepared Landscape Plan
       prepared by a suitably qualified Landscape Architect or Horticulturalist. Such
       landscaping is to be completed prior to the premises being occupied and maintained at
       all times thereafter.

       The Landscaping Plan shall include the following:
       9.1. Koala and Glossy Black Cockatoo food trees in accordance with the associated
       Environmental Protection Authority (EcoAccess) approval conditions for the site and
       the approved Settler’s Cove Ecological Restoration Plan and Landscape Master Plan.
       9.2. Locations of nesting boxes for Glossy Black Cockatoos shall be indicated on the
       landscape plans and installed on existing trees to be retained.
       9.3. Vegetation to adequately screen and provide filtered views of the development and
       shade hardscaped areas.

In response to Councils request, we wish to amend and refine the proposed change and request deletion of
condition 9.2 which relates to the nesting boxes. The applicant advises that the nesting boxes were installed
in accordance with condition 38 of the original reconfiguration permit 23118DA in the open space areas of
the site and additional nesting boxes are not necessary for the development proposed on Lot 9. The
photographs below illustrate the installation of nesting boxes on site.
