Dear Sir/Madam,

RE:      RESPONSE TO INFORMATION REQUEST- ADDITIONAL PLANS
Material Change of Use – Development Permit for Extensions and Alterations to an Existing
Commercial Business Type 1 (Office) at 10 Sunshine Beach Road, Noosa Heads described as
Lot 231 on RP95668.

I refer to the above application and in particular to the request for additional information issued by your
                        th                                      th
Council and dated 17 May 2017 and our response dated 25 May 2017. Since lodgment of our response,
the applicant has undertaken further design and development and wishes to provide further plans with
regard to the street front presentation of the proposal as requested by item 1 of the information request. The
revised plans include the following:

      •   Alterations to new central stair with wider landscaped planter;
      •   New landscape trellis provided along both sides of driveway;
      •   Capping of retaining walls along both sides of driveway;
      •   Provision of open deck over driveway entrance to soften façade of building and reduce visual ‘black
          hole’ to street;
      •   Lightweight timber slats to underside of awning

The new deck will be a common area providing a seating/breakout/ recreation area for patrons of the
building. As it is a common area/foyer under the definition of use area, the area is considered to be
excluded from car parking calculations.

The proposed works will create a more attractive, interesting and active street front than the existing building
and should be approved.

The Decision Making Period has commenced and we request that your Council proceeds with its
assessment of the application as soon as possible in accordance with the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.

Please contact our Sunshine Coast office if you require any further information and/or clarification.

Yours faithfully,




Nadine Gorton
