3.0 SUMMARY OF REQUEST TO CHANGE EXISTING APPROVAL

General

It is understood the existing development approval gives consent to a development permit for Multiple
Housing Type 3 — Retirement and Special Needs, including:

e 159 independent living units

e two storey and 20 unit apartment building
e two storey 120 bed aged care residence and
e village community centre

It is proposed the Multiple Housing Type 3 — Retirement and Special Needs includes the following instead:

e@ 164 independent living units
e single storey 120 bed aged care residence
e clubhouse, tennis court, covered bowling green, workshop and outdoor pool

As is evident by the above comparison the proposed change in regards to the scale and intensity of the uses
will result in a reduction in the intensity, as the aged care facility will remain the same size and the number
of independent living units will reduce from 179 to 164 dwellings. It is also considered a better outcome that
all proposed buildings be single storey, reducing the bulkly appearance of the approved development.

The staging of the development has also been amended in order to better reflect the way in which Palm Lake
Works usually develop such a project. The number of stages has been reduce to three stages, inlcuding the
aged care facility as Stage 1b.

Retirement Community — Independent living Units

A total of 164 independent living units are proposed to replace the approved. The general layout of the
community remains similar to the approved layout, however changes have been made to accommodate the
relocated aged care facility, deletion of the apartment building and increased communal facilities. The road
network remains to follow existing contours where possible and the drainage lines and detention basins
remain relatively the same.

The proposed communal facilities to be provided for the independent living units (retirement community) is
considered to far exceed that originally approved, by proposing a larger clubhouse, and additional facilities
