It is considered that the proposed changes are a minor change under the Planning Act and the resulting

Development Assessment

In assessing this Change Application, Council as its assessment manager must consider that planning scheme as in
effect when the original development application was properly made (S81 of Planning Act 2016). This change
application refers to this planning scheme as the originating planning scheme above. The Planning Act also provides
for Council to be able to give appropriate weight to, among other things, the planning scheme when the change
application was made. This is the current version of the 2020 Noosa Plan.

The site is currently included in the Visitor Accommodation Zone in the Noosa Heads Local Plan Area under the 2020
Noosa Plan.

The following comments are offered in relation to the assessment of this change application:

     1. This change application maintains the same number of total onsite parking spaces as required by
        Condition 246 in the existing development approval.

     2. The three proposed parking spaces remain to be on common property and are not titled nor within
        an exclusive use area as required by Condition 286 in the existing development approval.

     3. The three (3) proposed carparking spaces have been designed to comply with the provisions of AS
        2890.1-2004 for user class 2 as required by Condition 286 in the existing development approval.

     4. The proposed changes do not impact on access to/from and/or maneouvring associated with other
        parking spaces including those used by guests, visitors, staff, buggies, scooters, parking spaces for
        people with disabilities or access by service vehicles and the like, as required by the above conditions
        in the existing development approval and the originating planning scheme or current 2020 Noosa
        Plan.

     5. The provision of three (3) uncovered parking spaces to replace the three covered parking spaces is
        not considered to conflict with planning outcomes in the originating planning scheme or in the 2020
        Noosa Plan. These three proposed spaces could be signed to be utilised for staff parking if
        considered necessary by Council. In any regard, Condition 286 in the existing development stated
        that …’The operator of the Resort shall provide adequate carparking spaces on site for staff of the
        Resort, alternatively staff may utilise the 22 constructed street-side bays on Viewland Drive detailed
        in SK 2004 Issue C.’

     6. The small areas of landscaping utilised by the three proposed car parking spaces are not considered
        to conflict with planning outcomes in the originating planning scheme or in the 2020 Noosa Plan.
        These landscaped areas being utilised are well within the development and not being specifically
        utilised for purposes associated environmental management or buffer/screen planting.
