               3.     ASSESSMENT
               3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
               statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
               •      State Planning Policy;
               •      South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017;
               •      Planning Regulation 2017; and
               •      The Noosa Plan 2020.
               3.2. Statutory Process
               The applicant has requested to make a minor change to a development approval under s78 of
               the Planning Act 2016. An application for a minor change to a development approval can only be
               made in circumstances where a change would constitute a ‘minor change’.
               The proposed change to the development approval requested by the applicant is determined to
               constitute a minor change on the grounds that:
               •      the development would not result in substantially different development;
               •      the change does not include prohibited development;
               •      the change would not require the application to be referred to an additional referral agency
                      or cause a referral agency to have regard to new matters prescribed by regulation;
               •      where the original application was code assessable, the change would not cause the
                      application to become impact assessable.
               3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
               The original application was lodged under the 1973 Planning Scheme and must be assessed
               under that planning scheme, but Council may have regard to the current Noosa Plan 2020.
               The subject site is located in the Noosa Heads Local Plan Area and is to be assessed against
               (but not limited to) the Noosa Heads Local Plan Code, the Tourist Accommodation Zone Code
               and Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code. The most relevant outcomes under Noosa
               Plan 2020 are discussed below.
               As shown in the table below the proposal generally complies with the key development
               parameters such as site cover, plot ratio, and building height.
