Minor Change Report - MCU25 0136 01 (As Published)

               2.     BACKGROUND
               A development approval for Multiple Dwellings (5 Units) (MCU25/0136) was approved at 1 Olivine
               Street, Cooroy (Lot 126 C5604) on 7 May 2026. The approval permits the construction and use of
               five residential dwelling units on the site and is subject to a range of conditions intended to ensure
               the development occurs and remains consistent with the assessment.
               Condition 3 of the approval requires the development be undertaken generally in accordance with
               the approved plans. The approved plans establish the development footprint and configuration of
               the five-unit multiple dwelling development.


               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
               •      Noosa Plan 2020 (26 September 2025).
               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 proposal does
                      not:
                      o     involve a new use; or
                      o     result in the application applying to a new parcel of land; or
                      o     dramatically change the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance; or
                      o     change the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended; or
                      o     remove a component that is integral to the operation of the development; or
               •      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 original application was lodged and assessed under the now superseded Noosa Plan 2020
               (26 September 2020). Pursuant to s81 of the Planning Act 2017, Council must consider the
               planning scheme in effect when the original development application was lodged, however Council
               may give weight to Noosa Plan 2020 (26 September 2020) as the planning scheme in effect at the
               time of the minor change application being lodged.
               The following codes from Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      Medium Density Residential Zone Code;
               •      Cooroy Local Plan Code;
               •      Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Zone Code; and
               •      Works Codes;

                                                                                                       Page 6 of 11
