Wednesday, 5 June 2013 Our Ref: 11428 / Office: Sunshine Coast Council Ref: MCU13/0030 SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL LOCKED BAG 72 SUNSHINE COAST MAIL CENTRE NAMBOUR QLD 4560 ATTENTION: Mr Jack Lewis Dear Jack REPRESENTATIONS ON DECISION NOTICE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE – EXTENSION TO KABARA NURSING HOME 20 TOPAZ STREET, COOROY LOT 102 SP236318 Further to Council’s Decision Notice issued for the above development application, we make the following representations in regards to Council’s approval: Condition 6 Condition 6 relates to building appearance and requires all air conditioning units, electrical transformers or other mechanical equipment must be located away from street frontages, such that they are not visible from street frontages or adjoining properties. This condition provides no flexibility for the placement of any service equipment that may be required towards the front of the building and is contrary to Councils standard condition which requires all air conditioning units or other mechanical equipment must be located at ground level or otherwise screened such that they are not visible from street frontages or adjoining properties. It is possible that a power upgrade is required for the development and which may require a new electrical transformer. Energy supply authorities usually dictate with few options where electrical transformers are placed, which provides ease of access and this may be required towards the sites frontage. Accordingly, we request that Condition 6 be amended as follows: All new air conditioning units or other mechanical equipment must be located away from street frontages where practical or otherwise screened such that they are not visible from street frontages or adjoining properties.

Condition 27 Condition 27 relates to stormwater quality management, with 27 (b) (ii) and (iii) referring to a coarse sediment forebay. These forebays are expensive and were required under the 2006 technical guideline; however this requirement has been removed for catchments less than 2ha under the new guideline (Water by Design standard Bio-retention technical guidelines October 2012). Accordingly, we request that Condition 27 be amended to delete part (b) (ii) and with part (b) (iii) amended to delete reference to coarse sediment forebay. Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me direct. Yours faithfully KHA DEVELOPMENT MANAGERS Scott Sobey DIRECTOR
