Dear Patrick,

On behalf of our client, Altum Constructions, we hereby request a Change to Development Approval (“minor
change”) under section 78 of the Planning Act 2016 (PA2016) in relation to the above development approval granted
by Council on 22 September, 2017, by Negotiated Decision Notice (Ref: MCU15/0109) and most recently modified
on 5 March, 2019 (ref: MCU15/0109.03).

This correspondence provides details of the site and approval history and a description of the proposed changes to
the approved drawings and conditions. It includes an assessment of the proposed changes against the relevant
requirements of PA2016 and the Development Assessment Rules including an assessment that the proposed change
represents a minor change and does not constitute “substantially different development”.

1.0        SITE / APPROVAL HISTORY

The site forms Precinct E2 of the Noosa Springs residential community. Master planning for the Noosa Springs locality
was undertaken in the 1990’s, with the majority of the area now developed for residential and golf course purposes,
with associated recreational and community facilities. The subject site and adjoining land to the north (Precinct F)
form the eastern extremity of the Noosa Springs locality and were historically used for sand quarrying purposes.

Precinct E2 development approval history includes:

         MCU15/0109 ‐ 16 September, 2016 – Decision Notice – 44 units (4 x 1 bedroom, 22 x 2 bedroom and 18 x
          3+ bedroom units) subject to amendment to unit density as part of the original condition 4;
         MCU15/0109 ‐ 20 December, 2017 ‐ Negotiated Decision Notice – 37 units (4 x 2 bedrooms and 33 x 3
          bedroom units);
         MCU15/0109.01 ‐ 21 February, 2018 – Minor Change Decision Notice – 29 units (1 x 2 bedrooms and 28 x 3
          bedroom units), which deleted Block 26;
