Dear Glen

PROPOSED ‘PEREGIAN BEACH VILLAS’ AT 226 DAVID LOW WAY, PEREGIAN BEACH
DESCRIBED AS LOT 12 ON SP 207105

Reference is made to the submissions received during the public notification period for the
abovementioned development. Many of the issues raised in the submissions in objection to
the development have been addressed in the application material. However, the following
further comments are provided in response to the key issues raised and given that changes
have been made to the design during the information request period.

Built Form – Density

The subject site has an area of about 1,200m². The density provided under the planning
scheme is 100 persons per hectare, which equates to 12 persons. The proposed development
was amended in response to the information request and now nine (9), one (1) bedroom
dwelling units are proposed. Changes have also been made to the internal design of the
dwelling units, which will ensure that the proposed units will remain one (1) bedroom. This
means that the proposed development has a theoretical population density of 15.3 persons.

Importantly, the existing motel approval over the land, which remains current, has a theoretical
population density of 18.2 persons. While the proposed development exceeds the allowable
density under the planning scheme, it is less than the current motel approval over the land,
which is a relevant consideration.

The population density now proposed is considered reasonable given the nature of the
development being for one (1) bedroom units, for which there is a strong demand. This is
based on the number of enquires received from the general public and the number of
expressions of interest received, with limited marketing being undertaken.

Built Form – Height

The subject land is relatively flat and the proposed development is two (2) storeys and has a
height of about 7.661m from the finished ground level to the ridge of the roof (refer elevation
drawings for Units 4 & 5).
