Specifically, the applicant is seeking to make extensions, totalling 16.5m2 of gross floor area, to the existing entrance hall, living room and walk in wardrobe of bedroom 1.
The subject site is contained within a Group Title Scheme off Ross Crescent, and is subject to the provisions of a Plan of Development (No. 16).  The following table provides an assessment of the proposal against the development parameters of the Plan of Development:

Notably, although the proposed extensions represent a minor increase in gross floor area, the dwelling house continues to comply with provisions of the Plan of Development.  Further, the changes proposed do not maintain any adverse amenity issues, and are incorporated into the design style of the existing dwelling.
Council’s Manager - Building Services has investigated the geotechnical aspects associated with the development, and considers that no adverse impacts will occur with regard to the sand dunes and stability.
No objection is raised pertaining the proposal, the application is therefore recommended for approval subject to conditions.
RECOMMENDATION
With regard to 22440 DA (Stephen Kidd Design) for a Material Change of Use of Premises for modifications to existing dwelling in Sand Dune Problem Area at 27 Ross Crescent, Sunshine Beach described as Lot 2 on GTP 100987 (8RP862531), Parish of Weyba, Council approve the application and grant a Development Permit, subject to the following conditions:-
Building
There is to be no uncontrolled discharge of water onto the slope.
Stripping of vegetation for construction purposes should be minimised. If vegetation is destroyed it should be reinstated immediately after construction is completed.
Additional load due to fill, construction equipment or stockpiled materials should not be located on the dune slope. Filling in the open space area is to be avoided.
The use of vibratory equipment of any kind is not permitted to be used, including vibrating rollers, the use of vibrating installation techniques for sheet piling and other construction vibrations caused by excavating, earthmoving or demolition machinery or other similar construction techniques.
Land Development
A Registered Professional Engineers Queensland (REPQ) shall design all foundations for the proposed building extensions taking into account that the site is located in a Sand Dune Problem Area and that special foundations may be necessary.
Existing vegetation on site shall be retained except where removal is required to enable construction of the proposed extensions. In this regard care shall be taken to minimise any disturbance to the vegetation.
To minimise the risk of dunal instability during construction, no heavy machinery or equipment is to be used to construct the proposed building extensions.
On completion of construction, dense deep-rooted vegetation cover, using approved species, shall be established on any exposed soil in order to minimise the risk of any soil movement or erosion.
At the completion of construction, a RPEQ shall certify that all works have been carried out in accordance with good engineering practices and that both the extensions and the site are stable and safe against failure.
 Land Use
Development undertaken in accordance with this approval must generally comply with the approved plans of development. The approved plans are numbered 0119.01 and 0119.02 prepared by Stephen Kidd Design and dated Oct 2001 and as may be amended by these conditions.
The development must be undertaken and operated in a manner that causes no detrimental effect upon the amenity of the neighbourhood by reason of the creation of excessive noise, lighting nuisance or other emissions.
This Development Permit for a material change of use of premises lapses if:-
the use or erection of a building or other structure associated with the use, has not been commenced within four (4) years of the date of issue of the Development Permit, unless application is made and approved by Council for an extension; or
the use of any premises pursuant to the Development Permit ceases.
Further Permits Required
Prior to the commencement of development, the following Development Permits must be obtained:-
