Deciding the Request

In accordance with S81 of The Planning Act 2016, Council must only consider the
information provided and any other matter considered relevant, including — all matters
Council would or may assess against or have regard to, if the change application were a
development application.

Council must only consider the statutory instrument, or other document, as in effect when
the development application for the development approval was properly made. However,
may give weight they consider appropriate, in the circumstances, to—

     (a) the statutory instrument or other document as in effect when the change
         application was made (Superseded Planning Scheme); or
     (b) if the statutory instrument or other document is amended or replaced after the
         change application is made but before it is decided—the amended or replacement
         instrument or document; or
     (c) another statutory instrument—
              (i)      that comes into effect after the change application is made but before
              it is decided; and
              (ii)     that the responsible entity would have been required to consider if the
              instrument had been in effect when the development application for the
              development approval was properly made.

Assessment

The external changes do not change existing tenancy sizes or result in additional
carparking impacts that were considered as part of the original approval. The cosmetic
changes reduce the existing cluttering of signage and incorporates the signage boxes into
a new awning consistent with the relevant Noosa Plan provisions.

The access to the first floor allows for all users to access the upstairs commercial tenancies
as well as providing for a more elegant and efficient secondary access to the carpark. The
proposal is consistent with the existing approval and The current Noosa Plan 2020 design
outcomes.

The original approval did not include any conditions as seen in Figure.2 below, and it is
expected the plans will be approved subject to new reasonable and relevant conditions that
take into consideration s.81 of The Planning Act.
