Minor Change Report - 51983.3225.24 (As Published)

               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     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
                      o     significantly impact on traffic flow and the transport network, such as increasing traffic
                            to the site; or
                      o     introduce new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts; or
                      o     remove an incentive or offset component that would have balanced a negative impact
                            of the development; or
                      o     impact on infrastructure provisions.
               •      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               The original development application was lodged and assessed under the now superseded 1973
               Noosa Planning Scheme. In accordance with section 81 of the Planning Act 2017, Council is
               required to consider the planning scheme that was in effect at the time the original application was
               lodged. However, Council may also give appropriate weight to the provisions of Noosa Plan 2020
               (Amendment 1 25 September 2020), being the current planning scheme in effect at the time the
               minor change application was submitted.
               The subject site is situated within the Noosa Heads Local Plan Area and the proposed change is
               to be assessed against relevant provisions of the superseded planning scheme, including but not
               limited to the Noosa Heads Local Plan Code and the Tourist Accommodation Code. The proposal
               generally complies with key development parameters such as site cover, plot ratio, and building
               height (both in storeys and metres).
               A summary of the most relevant planning outcomes under Noosa Plan 2020 (Amendment 1 25
               September 2020) is provided in the table below.
