ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

It is considered that the attached plans demonstrate that the application meets the definition of permissible
change and does not require a new application to be lodged.

As noted in our original request to change application, the proposal results in only 1 less dwelling compared to
the approval and the access layout is broadly consistent with the approved layout.

The revised plans result in a reduction in overall GFA of approximately 4401m2 or 20%. Whilst the reduction in
GFA is significant, it is does not result in “substantially different development”, particularly when considered in
context with the overall changes.

Similarly, whilst the changed proposal results in an additional 65 persons (equating to an increase of about 15
people per hectare), this change is not considered to result in “substantially different development”.

Furthermore, the bulk, massing and scale of the proposed development remains broadly consistent with the
approved development and provides additional opportunity for landscaping between buildings to further
minimise visual impact of the development particularly on elevated parts of the site.

The changed proposal replaces the approved hardstand comprising internal roads, parking and landscaping which
was located close to Resort Drive in the south western part of Precinct F and replaces these with buildings P, Q
and R and associated landscaping. It is considered that these changes result in an improved interface with Resort
Drive and retain casual surveillance opportunities. When considered in context with the overall proposal, the
changes are not considered to be substantially different from the approval.

The proposed change results in the removal of the theatre and function room. However, the overall resort
function of the approved development has been generally maintained albeit in a different configuration and at a
reduced scale. As reflected on the attached plans, the resort components of the development are located in a
central precinct and comprise the following facilities for guests, visitors and residents:

        Porte cochere
        Café and outdoor dining which can also cater for a range of functions;
        Convenience store;
        Gymnasium;
        Reception with night manager;
        Administration / office;
        Multi-purpose room which may cater for games, meetings, small functions;
        Extensive landscaped areas with BBQ facilities, play area and swimming pools

The changed proposal includes significant open landscape areas within the resort facility precinct which can be
adapted to suit the needs of guests and residents. This space can accommodate a variety of purposes including
larger functions and movie / theatre events to meet demand. Furthermore, the space can potentially
accommodate expansion of the resort facilities in the future if required, and subject to Council approval.
