MINOR CHANGE TO EXISTING APPROVAL                                                                            5
6/13 NOOSA PARADE, NOOSA HEADS


   ‘Any premises used or intended for use for three (3) or more dwelling units. The term does not
   include an accommodation building, ages persons home, cabin park, duplex dwelling, group
   housing development, host farm, hotel, institution, relocatable homes park or retirement
   community as herein defined.’

The proposed minor change application does not result in the development being a different land use
definition to that approved under TPC 2557.

A review of the Queensland Government Gazette No. 111 confirms that development satisfies a majority
of the relevant planning provisions, with the proposed development (inclusive of the additions):
    •    Does not vary the built form when viewed from Noosa Parade;
    •    Does not vary the northern (front) eastern (side) and southern (rear) boundary setbacks;
    •    Does not vary the permitted building height;
    •    Complies with the minimum car parking space requirements (1 space per unit); and,
    •    Complies with the deep planting requirements of at least 20%.

The only area of non-compliance relates to 36.(c), which specifies:
   ‘For any side boundary, the distance between the property boundary and the building facade at any
   point, is equal to half (1.2) the building height in metres calculated at the same point, provided that
   at any gable roof the calculation shall be measure to half the height of the gable.’

The development does not comply with the above element, given that the proposed addition contains a
maximum building height of 3.55 metres, which would require a compliant setback of 1.77 metres. It is
noted that the proposed addition could be designed to comply with the minimum side boundary setbacks,
with a 2.4 metre high built form capable on the site, however, it is our opinion that this would result in a
far inferior design outcome, which would not integrate with the roof form of the existing development.
In addition to this, the development does not result in windows above 2.4 metres high (compliant setback
line).

As identified in Section 2 above, Council may assess against, or have regard to, the matters that apply
when the change application was made. The planning scheme that is currently in effect is the Noosa Plan
2006.

The consideration of the Noosa Plan 2006 is appropriate, given that the Noosa Plan is a performance
based planning scheme, which contains similar setback objectives (Probable Solution) to that identified
within the Queensland Government Gazette No. 111 as outlined below.
