Dear Sir/Madam,

REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION CERTIFCATE
REPAIRS TO DWELLING
LOCATED AT 25 THE ESPLANADE SUNSHINE BEACH 4567.
PACIFIC BCQ REF. NO.: 20210312.

I write on behalf of my client, Nicole Morrison, as owner of premises located at 25 THE ESPLANADE SUNSHINE
BEACH 4567 described as LOT 682 RP 48111, to request Council provide and Exemption Certifcate in relation to
Assessable Development triggered by the Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity (CPSA) Overlay Code of the
Noosa Planning Scheme 2020.

As detailed in the attached plans, my client proposes to undertake assessable building work being the renewal of
windows in the eastern façade of the existing dwelling.

Under normal circumstances, undertaking assessible building work in area mapped in the CPSA Overlay would
trigger the necessity to obtain at Development Approval for Buiding Work made assessible by the Planning Scheme
in additon to a Development Permit for Building Work, however, in this instace, we consider the building work to be
minor and inconsequial when considering the CPSA Overlay Code which states it is designed to:

1. Maintain coastal processes including erosion and accretion processes to enable these natural functions to continue;
2. Maintain the protective function of coastal resources including vegetation and dunes to mitigate risks associated with coastal
   erosion; and
3. Ensure development is designed and sited to protect the natural beach experience and scenic amenity of the coastal area
   enjoyed by Noosa Shire residents and visitors.

Noting that the proposed work has no effect on these key considerations and the imposition of the necessity to
obtain a higher order Development Approval is of no beneficial affect, my client believes the issue of an Exemption
Certifcate is warranted.

Your careful and timely consideration of this request will be appreciated, should you have any queries please do not
hesitate to contact my office

Yours faithfully
