Change Application - U9,512 DLW, Castaways - Planning Report · 132001.210140.1

2.   Background

Unit 9 / 512 David Low Way, Castaways Beach was approved by Noosa Council on 12th July 2001. The
Decision Notice (21682 DA) contained development permits for a Material Change of Use and Operational
Works.

Contained within the Decision Notice are conditions which limit the approved building envelope area and
identified an area for ‘Natural Vegetation’ which was to remain untouched. The building envelope is
identified in the approved plans of development prepared by Casa Concepts, and within the Lot and
Building Envelope Areas Plan prepared by Covey and Associates (Appendix C). The area identified as
Natural Vegetation which is to remain untouched is also identified within the Lot and Building Envelope
Areas Plan prepared by Covey and Associates (Appendix C).

Essentially, all land outside of the identified building envelope (pale green) is nominated as Natural
Vegetation (dark green) on the subject site as illustrated in Figure 1 below.

The proposed new landscaping works extend further than the approved building envelope, so too does
the proposed landscaping extend into the ‘natural vegetation’ area.
