heritage place. The subject site is situated adjacent to Halse Lodge, which
is listed on the Queensland heritage register as a State heritage place.

The proposed development is made assessable under the planning scheme
only, such that the correct references to the Department's referral
jurisdiction in this case is SPR Schedule 7, Table 3, Item 22 (conservation
estate) and Item 23 (heritage).

We have requested Sunshine Coast Regional Council review and re-issue
the Acknowledgement Notice, if required to accurately reflect the
Department's referral jurisdiction in this instance. Should that occur, we
will forward the amended Acknowledgement Notice to you. However, this
issue should not hold up the Department's assessment of the application.

For your information, the application seeks to allow for the occupation of
38 specified dwelling units within the existing, approved Viridian Noosa
development ("the Resort") on a short term, semi-permanent or
permanent basis. On 19 April 2007 Noosa Shire Council (which now forms
part of the Sunshine Coast Regional Council) granted a development
approval, by way of Negotiated Decision Notice, which gave effect to the
Resort. The Department of Environment and Resource Management was a
referral agency for the development application that led to the approval of
the Resort. The proposal the subject of this application does not affect
any other dwelling units in the Resort which may be occupied only for
short term accommodation and does n involve a change to the built
form of the Resort.       Accordingly we do not anticipate the current
development application to alter the Department's earlier assessment
such that we would not expect the Department to issue an information
request or delay its assessment of the application.
