2 Figure 2 - Proposed Reconfiguration Plan The use definitions for the development are as per the Cardwell Shire Council Planning Scheme 1997, which was the current planning scheme when the Plan of Development was created and approved: Accommodation building: Any land, building or other structure or any part thereof used or intended for use as a boarding house, guest house, hostel, hotel (unlicensed or private), residential club (unlicensed), serviced rooms or cabins, but does not include a camping ground. Multiple Dwelling: Any land, building or other structure or any part thereof comprising or intended to comprise three (3) or more dwellings units on a single allotment or units which are pursuant to the provisions of the Building Units and Group Titles Act of 1980 whether or not the dwelling units are held in the same ownership. The term does not include an accommodation building, duplex dwelling or group housing as herein defined. The Material Change of Use component of the proposed development comprises the following: Multiple Dwelling: 30 units with a total of 60 bedrooms, basement carpark (60 car parking spaces), swimming pool and tennis courts; Accommodation Building (Resort): 24 units with a total of 24 bedrooms including a reception area, restaurant, café, offices, conference room, and gym; Accommodation Building (Backpackers' Accommodation): 12 backpacker dorms with a total of 48 beds, 14 studios with a total of 14 beds, reception area, crib room/communal dining area, 334m 2 club/bar, and car parking (41 car parking spaces). 241

Figure 3 - Development Site Plan As a result of the approval of the Wongaling Beach Village Area Plan of Development (2002), the Material Change of Use component of the development will be assessed against the Wongaling Beach Village Area Tourist Accommodation Precinct Code, which replaces the Township Zone Code and Greater Mission Beach Local Plan Code. The Plan of Development does not outline requirements for reconfiguring a lot, and therefore, the reconfiguring a lot component of the development is assessed against the Cassowary Coast Regional Council planning scheme

4 The development of the site is proposed to be staged as follows: 1. Reconfiguring a Lot - the creation of three land parcels being Lots 106, 107 & 108, and drainage easements A & B, and access easement C; 2. Multiple Dwellings - Units A, B & C, associated driveway and car parking, tennis court, pool and pool house; 3. Accommodation Buildings - Backpackers' Accommodation with associated car parking, pool, club and facilities and Tourist Resort and associated pool, restaurant, café, gym, conference rooms and other facilities.

The site is located within 500m of the Wongaling Beach foreshore, is generally flat, and has a metre wide drainage easement along the eastern boundary. Surrounding uses include a service station, shopping centre, single unit dwellings, and multiple dwellings. 243
