Minor Change Report 132006 272 01 · 132006.272.01

               Under the superseded scheme and plans, the proposed development did not raise any significant
               planning, engineering, building or environmental health issues. The application was recommended
               for approval, subject to conditions.


               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;
               •      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 as the change only
                      relates to seeking retrospective approval to lawfully use an approved sitting room as a
                      bedroom;
               •      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 following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      Medium Density Residential Zone Code;
               •      Noosa Heads Local Plan Code;
               •      Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code;
               •      Works Codes;
               •      Landslide Hazard Overlay Code;
               •      Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code.
               The proposed change is consistent with the planning scheme provisions in place at the time the
               original development application was made and the current planning scheme provisions.
               The proposed change meets the relevant Acceptable Solutions, Performance Outcome, Overall
               Outcomes and purposes of the abovementioned codes. The change only relates to the lawful use
               of an existing room within each unit. There are no changes to built form, design or materials or
               finishes.
               As shown on the proposal plans for each unit, the four car parks are in existing garages located
               on the lower level of the building.
               Under the current Noosa Plan 2020, car parking for Dual Occupancy requires two covered spaces
               and one additional space.
