MCU22/0038.01 – Minor Change To A Development Permit (Commercial Business Type 1 – Office And Commercial Business Type 2 - Medical) At 28 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville · Attachment 2 - MCU22 0038 .01 - Planner'S Report

•    Works Codes.
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 there are no
     visible external changes to the building form, the change does not substantially impact on
     operations and the proposed uses have not changed;
•    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 subject site was zoned Shire Business Centre under the 2006 Noosa Plan and was a
consistent code assessable use in the zone.
Under the current Noosa Plan 2020, the site is included in the Major Centre zone and the
Showroom Precinct which details offices and health care services as impact and inconsistent uses.
It is noted that the built form requirements of the Noosa Plan 2020 are generally consistent with
the Noosa Plan 2006, however the Noosa Plan 2020 provides for increased height and gross floor
area which is generally reflected in the approval.
The proposed changes do not alter the external appearance of the approved building or the
approved uses and relate to carparking and internal layouts. The applicant indicates that the new
radiation treatment facility will increase the GFA by 118m2 in the basement and results in the
removal of 8 tandem carparking spaces. To maintain the approved GFA area on site, the applicant
has reduced the GFA at Level 1 by increasing the size of internal stairwells and providing a new
lift area and on Level 2 by creating a large service area which are excluded from GFA calculations.
Applicants Request
The applicant requests that the amended plans be incorporated into the conditions of approval and
requests changes to the approval to:
•    Delete conditions 40, 46, 47, 48 and 49 which reference the provision and management plan
     for the tandem spaces
•    Amend condition 43 to reflect the carparking and motorcycle spaces, loading bay and
     ambulance required, less the tandem spaces
•    Amend condition 52 to increase the number of short stay carparking from 2 to 5 bays
The applicant requests deletion of Conditions 40, 43, 46, 47, 48 & 49 which relate to the provision
of tandem carparking on the basis that Council accepts the proposed layout and that the tandem
spaces are no longer required.
The applicant submits the following comments in relation to carparking:
