Additional Info_15.12.15

The resort facilities are complimented by a pedestrian path network (refer attached plan 7038 DA04) which
provides convenient access to the facilities through the extensive landscaped setting.

Given the existing resort / golf club facilities at Noosa Springs, the proposed scale of resort facilities is considered
appropriate for the site, and not substantially different to the approval.

In addition, the changed proposal will continue to be subject to condition 4 of the existing approval which
requires that a letting pool be established for the owners of multiple dwelling units, further reinforcing the
applicant’s desire to construct and operate the development as an integrated residential resort.

It is anticipated that the development will be constructed in stages. In this regard, the applicant intends to
construct the resort facilities component as soon as possible, but notes that the staging of these works will
depend on the early construction of some dwellings to assist with project feasibility. A further request for a
change to the development to sub-stage the development will be submitted once detailed design and
programming has progressed further.

It is noted that Building M is accessed via the adjoining lot to the south (Lot 6 on SP178340, referred to as Precinct
E2) which is subject to a separate MCU application for multiple dwellings. It is requested that Council condition
the current approval to require the applicant to obtain approval of an access easement over the adjoining land.



CONCLUSION

As noted in our original request application, the proposed changes to Precinct F, Noosa Springs are considered to
meet the test of “permissible change” under SPA and will not result in substantially different development to the
existing approval. The changes are generally limited in scope to individual redesign of buildings and the
communal areas so as to provide a more efficient and useable site layout for residents and visitors. The changes
do not result in a substantially different visual amenity outcome for the site.

Removal of the theatre and function rooms will not result in any adverse impacts on the overall operation of the
development as an integrated residential/resort use. It is noted that the design of the resort facilities precinct will
enable a range of uses to occur, including functions and movie events.

In light of our contention that the proposed development is not substantially different to the approval and that it
results in reduced visual impacts, we request that Council exercise discretion to decide the application under
Delegation.
