Dear Patrick,

On behalf of our client, Carol Smith, we respectfully seek to change the above-mentioned development
approval by way of a change application (minor change) in accordance with Sections 78 and 79 of the Planning
Act 2016. For Council’s reference, it is noted that the original development approval was granted in November
2003 and later amended in August 2004 with copies of the most recent documents associated with this
approval included as part of this application.

In particular, this application requests that Condition 15.1 of the development approval which reads, “all
windows and doors of any dwelling constructed on the land shall be screened with mosquito-proof gauze not
coarser then 1mm aperture to prevent the ingress of mosquitoes and midges,” be removed on the following
basis:
         the current Noosa Plan 2020 does not have any requirements for a new dwelling house when it
          comes to mosquitos/midges;
        in line with this, there is nothing preventing a new dwelling house being built on one of the 33
         approved lots without the need for any mosquito-proof gauze under the current Noosa Plan 2020;
        there is only one dwelling house yet to be built in the overall development at 11 Banksia Avenue (Lot
         10 on Survey Plan 188268) – meaning that the implications of removing this condition will be
         negligible;

        in regard to this dwelling house, it is important to note that a qualified bushfire consultant has
         identified it will need to comply with BAL-40 requirements with the only appropriate bushfire screen
         which meets these requirements being one with an aperture of 1.6mm;
