AMENDED Minor Change - Planning Report · 132006.272.01

5.1 Development Codes

The development codes applicable to the proposed Minor Change are:

    •    Noosa Heads Locality Code,

    •    Medium Density Zone Code, and

    •    Dual occupancy and Multiple dwelling Code.

A review of the development codes has been undertaken with the Minor Change complying with the
intent of the Acceptable Outcomes, Performance Outcomes and Overall Outcomes of the
abovementioned codes. More specifically, a review of the use and carparking, has been assessed
below.



5.1.1 Use

The use of the dwelling is not changing but retains its original use rights for both short and long term
accommodation and continues to be lawfully used as such. The additional bedroom does not
change how the dwelling is used as it is still a residential use as defined under the superseded
planning scheme-

         Duplex dwelling – Any premises used or intended for use as 2 dwelling units on one
         allotment, whether or not the dwelling units are located on lots shown on a Group Titles Plan.
         The term does not include an accommodation building, bed and breakfast
         accommodation, dwelling house, group housing development or multiple dwelling as herein
         defined

In addition, there is no change to the population density as a 3 bedroom dwelling unit has the same
population density as a 4 bedroom Dwelling unit under the superseded planning scheme.



5.1.2 Car parking

A Duplex dwelling car parking rate under the superseded planning scheme is the same regardless
of the number of bedrooms. Noosa Council historically has accepted 4 covered spaces (2 per
dwelling[unit]) meets the car parking requirement, as this results in 2 visitor spaces available. The
development fully complies with the superseded planning scheme.
