Dear Tara,

RE:       Response to Further Advice - Units 1 & 4, 1-3 Russell St, Noosaville (Council Reference:
          51901.3589.05

I refer to Council’s further issues provided in an email sent on 22 January 2023 in relation to the
abovementioned application.

We hereby provide a response to the items raised in the request as detailed below:

Issue –

The cover letter indicates that approval is sought to amalgamate units 1 and 4 to create a

•     Unit 4 is a single level unit that occupies the 3rd level of the building. The unit comprises 2 bedrooms, a
      bathroom, ensuite, open planned kitchen, living dining area, lift and stairs.

want to retain separate habitable spaces, including 2 kitchens. Notwithstanding, the unit will still meet the
definition of a dwelling and under the Noosa Plan 2020, which provides:
