Representations on conditions MCU10/2116 & REC10/2072

                                          3


The Energex depot is now vacant as Energex has re-located their operation to the
industrial area of Cooroy. The property is surplus to Energex's requirements. The
property contains 3035m2 and its location and size offer a significant re-development
as a community service, commercial or residential development. Whilst the property
is contained within the Commercial Services Zone of the Noosa Plan; it is possible
that the property will be re-developed as an alternative use. The traffic levels and
road geometry of Diamond Street will compel any re-development of the property to
implement ingress/egress from Diamond Lane.



Accordingly the applicant believes that a more reasonable Condition of approval for
the subject site is the construction of 2 passing bays along the frontage of Lot 714
on SP904564. This provides Conditions that are:

    •   Equivalent with the level of development and demand.
    •   Fair based upon the Conditions imposed on adjoining developments.
    •   Do not require the applicant to provide infrastructure for adjoining
        development sites.

Therefore the applicants request that Condition 4 to be amended to:

The applicant shall design and construct 2 vehicle passing bays on Diamond Lane
generally along the frontage of the development site and equally spaced along
Diamond Lane between Elm Street and Kauri Street taking into account the location
of the existing passing bay. The passing bays shall have a minimum width of 5.5m,
effective length of 10m and an overall length of 18m. A Development Application for
Operational Works shall be required.

We hereby look forward to receiving a Negotiated Decision Notice in due course. Do
not hesitate to contact me on (07) 5442 6121 if you wish to discuss any outstanding
issues in relation to the representations made herein.

Yours faithfully
