Cover Letter - Minor Change Application · 51997.2399.02

The proposed retractable awning is situated above an existing balcony and consequently would not
contribute to any additional site cover. It would also be located within the existing footprint and maintain
setbacks.

The existing units were not provided with sufficient weather protection to the balconies, which were limited
to a small curved awnings. The proposed retractable awning would enhance liveability of the dwelling,
promote outdoor living and better respond to Noosa Shire’s subtropical climate.

Please refer to Attachment 1 - Proposal Plans for further details.
