| refer to the above development application and recently completed public notification. It
is understood a total of six (6) properly made submissions were received, however three
of these (3) were duplicates.

Following is a summary of the points raised in each submission (omitting duplicates) and
the applicants response to these. Please note that submitters issues are shown in italics,
and the applicants response is provided immediately following. Attachments 1 to 3
contain each submission as numbered below.

Submission 1 - received 3" October 2006

1. Traffic Flow — The existing road infrastructure in the Hastings Street precinct is
under severe pressure during peak holiday seasons. This proposal will introduce
additional traffic to that precinct and, in particular, Park Street and Morwong Drive.
In addition to the small vehicle traffic, there will be an increase in service vehicle
traffic such as buses and trucks.

Given the nature if the proposed development, a lot of these service vehicles will
require access at night or early moming which owners believe will detract both
from the value of their asset and the ability to achieve maximum rental income.

A Resort comprising 192 keys is currently approved on the subject site. The subject
proposal does not seek to increase this figure. It is noted that due to the proximity of the
subject site to Hastings Street, it is anticipated that once guests arrive at the site, their use
of private cars will be minimal, as direct pedestrian linkages are provided between the
Resort and the Hastings Street and National Park precincts.
