To Whom It May Concern
Re: Minor Change Application to an Existing Material Change of Use (MCU) Approval – Unit 2, 31 The
Esplanade, Sunshine Beach

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please accept this letter in support of our application for a Minor Change to the existing Material Change of Use
(MCU) approval for Unit 2, 31 The Esplanade, Sunshine Beach.

The proposed amendment is limited in scope and involves enclosing the existing northern patio at the second-floor
level of Unit 2. The enclosure will provide additional internal floor area to improve the functionality of the existing
bedrooms and rumpus room, creating more practical and usable living spaces.

In addition, a small portion of the existing roof is proposed to be extended and enclosed to facilitate the creation of
a weatherproof and habitable space beneath. These works are minor in nature and are confined within the existing
building envelope, with only a negligible increase in gross floor area.

The proposed changes:

    •   Will not increase the approved site cover, which remains approximately Lot 35% of 187 and well below the
        maximum permitted under the planning scheme.
    •   Result in only a minimal increase in Gross Floor Area (GFA) of approximately 1 m².
    •   Will not adversely impact the streetscape, building appearance, or the amenity of neighbouring properties.
    •   Maintain the overall intent and scale of the approved development.

To assist Council in its assessment, the following documentation has been submitted:

    •   Existing Conditions Plans
    •   Proposed Floor Plans
    •   Proposed Roof Plan
    •   Elevations
    •   Street Perspective
