          overall increase in population density), whilst resulting in a minor increase in overall gross floor area from
          the previous permissible change approval. However, the proposed GFA increase in GFA to 19, 531m2
          remains less than the original approved GFA of 21,950m2.

      6. The proposed changes do not significantly impact on traffic flow and the transport network, such as
         increasing traffic to the site.

          Comment: As demonstrated in the response to point 1. above, the proposed changes are not anticipated
          as generating significant impacts on traffic flow or the existing road network beyond what was already
          anticipated under the existing development approval.

      7. The proposed changes do not introduce new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts.

          Comment: The proposed changes do not introduce any new impacts or increase any known impacts in
          relation to environmental values, bushfire hazard or landslide risk nor visual impacts beyond that which
          was already anticipated and addressed under the existing development approval. A revised Bushfire
          Management Plan will be submitted prior to OPW approval for Stage 1C to demonstrate the retention of
          a significant tree in Stage 1C will not result in adverse bushfire management outcomes.

      8. The proposed changes do not remove an incentive or offset component that would have balanced a
         negative impact of the development.

          Comment: The proposed changes do not remove any incentive or offset component that was considered
          under the existing development approval.

      9. The proposed changes do not impact on infrastructure provision, location or demand.

          Comment: As demonstrated in the response to point 1. above, the proposed changes are not anticipated
          as having any increased demand on infrastructure to the existing approval.



4.0       CONCLUSION

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 limited in
scope to minor redesign of buildings, reduction in overall dwelling units, and minor increase in gross floor area
and car parking. The proposal will continue to function as an integrated residential facility.
