Dear Cr Abbot

Notice of Decision of Development Application -
Integrated Planning Act 1997

Pursuant to section 3.6.7 of the Integrated Planning Act 1997, | hereby give notice
that the development application made by Attunga Heights Pty Ltd at 27 Attunga
Heights Roads, Noosa Heads and called in by me on 1 December 2005, was
approved in part and refused in part on 6 March 2006.

A copy of the decision notice is attached.

My re-assessment of the application confirmed amendments to the Material Change
of Use development plans and conditions were required: to maintain environmental
values of State interest including protection of a State wildlife corridor. These
amendments also improve compliance with the requirements of the Noosa Shire
transitional planning scheme.

Given the integrity of the State wildlife corridor substantially depends on the retention
of vegetation in the Edgar Bennett Avenue reserve along the western boundary of
Lot 27 on RP89506, | intend to make representations to my Cabinet colleague, the
Honourable Henry Palaszczuk MP, Minister for Natural Resources, Mines and Water,
requesting he initiate road closure proceedings under the Land Act 1994 to ensure
the reserve is retained for conservation purposes in a Park Reserve.

1 note Council also resolved on 21 July 2005 to commence steps to close Edgar
Bennett Avenue along the frontage of Lot 27 on RP89506 and include the land ina
Park Reserve. Given Lot 27 on RP89506 no longer requires access to Edgar
Bennett Avenue and other surrounding development is not reliant on construction of
the road reserve for access, | would appreciate your written support in achieving this
outcome.

This development proposal has stirred a high level of interest by the Noosa
community and their genuine concerns are highlighted in the large number of
postcards and other correspondence received by, the Department.
