132938-1 Application for a minor change to a development approval (s78-PA) 2018-11-27 · 132008.1128.02

         changes are in the centre of site so no change to the interface with neighbours will result as a
         consequence of this change.
Respite Beds
BlueCare are moving forward with a model of care for the RAC facility which does not include the two respite
beds as originally approved. This is a change in operation from when the original approval was granted as all
aged care beds within the facility will now be suitable for respite care. Therefore, respite care will still be
accommodated within the proposal.

Noosa Plan Use Definitions
The loss of market demand for serviced apartments has also been reflected within the Noosa Plan
amendments to use definitions. The relevant current use definitions of the scheme are outlined
below:
         Multiple housing Type 3 Retirement and special needs
         Means the use of premises for dwelling units or accommodation units that house persons
         who are aged, being nursed or are convalescing. In each case, communal facilities may be
         available to residents for social interaction, recreation and emergency medical attention.
         The use may also include a caretaker’s residence and medical centre where they are
         ancillary to the residential care facility. The use includes a retirement village, residential
         aged care and a group house, however does not include health uses or community
         residence as separately defined.
         Residential aged care
         Means premises housing elderly persons under the supervision of nursing care. Residents
         are accommodated in bedrooms or bed-sit units but not dwelling units
         Retirement village
         Means premises where older members of the community or retired persons reside, or are
         to reside, in independent living units or serviced units, under a retirement village scheme
The above means that if the original application were to be relodged today, serviced apartments would be
classified under the Retirement village use definition, rather than the ‘Wellbeing Type 1 Health’ use as per
the original approval components (described below for reference):
        Multiple Housing – Type 3 Retirement & Special Needs (108 x 2 bedroom units and 20
         serviced apartments)
         Retirement village component comprising the 54 ILUs and 54 ILAs; and 20 serviced apartments
        Commercial Business – Type 2 Medical (as indicated on approved plans)
         Included allied health, community nursing, respite and support / hospitality services within the RAC
         building and the central community facility
        Wellbeing – Type 1 Health (98 beds)
         RAC (96 aged care beds + 2 respite beds)
