5.       State Government Planning Interests

The original Reconfiguration a Lot Approval (Council Reference: 151999.982601) did not trigger
referral to any Concurrence or Advice Agencies. Accordingly, the development application is not
required to be referred to SARA in accordance with the requirements of the Section 79 of the
Planning Regulation 2017.



6.       Legislative Context and Assessment of Development Application

This Change to a Development Permit is lodged in accordance with Section 78 and 79 of the
Planning Act 2016.


It is our view that the proposed development satisfies the definition of a ‘Minor Change’ in
accordance with the definitions of Schedule 2 of the Planning Act 2016, on the following basis:
     -    The development would not, as a result of the change, result in prohibited development,
          or require further referral to a referral agency; or,
     -    The change to the development in would not trigger the need for public notification.


The proposed development will not result in ‘Substantially Different Development’ as defined
within Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment Rules, with the development not resulting in:
     -    The introduction of a new use, or apply to a new parcel of land;
     -    A dramatic change to the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance, noting that
          only a small ancillary secondary dwelling is proposed in close proximity to the existing
          Dwelling House on Lot 19, with compliant setbacks;
     -    The removal of a component that is integral to the operation of the development; and,
     -    Impacts to road or service infrastructure or result in new impacts or increase the severity
          of known impacts.


In accordance with Schedule 81 of the Planning Act 2016, the application is to be assessed
against the planning scheme that was in effect of the time the originating development
application was lodged, being the Shire of Noosa Planning Scheme 1990.


Section 6.1 below will undertake an assessment against the Shire of Noosa Planning Scheme
1990.
