               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 (25 September 2020).
               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:
               •      Does not involve a new use; or
               •      dramatically change the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance; or
               •      change the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended; or
               •      remove a component that is integral to the operation of the development; or
               •      significantly impact on traffic flow and the transport network, such as increasing traffic to
                      the site; or
               •      introduce new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts; or
               •      remove an incentive or offset component that would have balanced a negative impact 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 under the current Noosa Plan 2020 (the ‘planning scheme’).
               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 Code; and
               •      Works Codes.
