               1.     PROPOSAL
               The applicant seeks approval to change to an existing Development Permit for Material Change
               of Use – Duplex Dwelling.

               Material provided with application includes:

               This change application is made to resolve the related Appeal (Pace Planning Pty Ltd v Noosa
               Shire Council - Planning & Environment Court Appeal No D114 of 2025).

               The proposed changes are set out in Table 3, below. The amended plans which are proposed
               to be referred to in Condition 1, include the following elements as agreed with Council:

                      •    Gross Floor Area (GFA) increase of 20.57m2 to Bedroom 2 (13.85m2) and Walk in
                           Robe (6.72m2);
                      •    the front façade of the proposed extension to Bedroom 2 incorporates vertical windows
                           and decorative batons;
                      •    balustrading to the terrace extension in the style of existing balustrading;
                      •    labelling of the pool pump space on the ground floor plan as "Utilities" and a condition
                           proposed to clarify that, that space is not to be used in a way which would contribute to
                           an increase of GFA.

               The increase in GFA now proposed is 20.57m2 (Bedroom 2, 13.85m2 + WIR 6.72m2), which
               results in a plot ratio of 0.45, and is compliant with the applicable planning scheme in force at
               the time of the approval.

               The extensions are modest, and are achieved within the existing footprint, such that there is
               no increase in site cover, and without requiring any concession on boundary setbacks, height
               or other requirements relevant to the bulk, scale and appearance of the dwelling. Council’s
               concerns about the appearance of the changes to the front of the building have been
               addressed by revised balustrading and articulation through fenestration and decorative
               screening.

               Specifically, the applicant is seeking:

                    • Amendment to conditions 1 (list of plans)
                    • Delete condition 5 or re-word
                    • Additional condition 46 – to ensure utilities room is not converted to a habitable space

               The above changes increase the gross floor area (GFA) of Unit 1 from 127.584 to 148.154m² and
               increases total site GFA to 275.738m² as outlined below.

                                                              Existing GFA                    Proposed GFA

                Unit 1 (subject to this change                  127.584m²                        148.154m²
                application)

                Unit 2                                          127.584m²                 127.584m² (no change)

                Total GFA                                       255.168m²                        275.738m²

                Plot Ratio (whole site)                          0.412:1                           0.45:1
