Minor Change Report 51991.475.07 (As Published)

               2.     BACKGROUND
               a)     On the 27 February 1992, Council approved a Town Planning Consent (TPC2413) for a
                      group housing development (16 units) at 2-10 Banksia Ave and 74-78 Cooroy-Noosa Rd,
                      Noosa heads, of which the land formed part of at the time.
               b)     On 19 July 2004, Council approved a minor change application which related to increasing
                      the size of an existing deck and providing a roof covering over associated with Unit 16 (Lot
                      1 GTP 3209) (Council Reference (51991.475.02).
               c)     On 4 November 2020, Council approved a ‘generally in accordance’ request which related
                      to increasing the size of an existing deck and providing a roof covering above associated
                      with Unit 14 (Lot 3 GTP 3209). It was estimated that the development had a total site cover
                      at approximately 38.4% and the roofed patio extension would result in a site coverage of
                      38.66%. (Council Reference: 51991.475.03).
               d)     On 8 August 2022, Council approved a minor change to approval for the purpose enclosing
                      part of Unit 2’s verandah for an ensuite extension. The extension is 5.06m2 and remains in
                      the building Footprint (Council Reference: 51991.475.04).
               e)     On 13 May 2025, Council approved a minor change application which related to increasing
                      the size of an upper-level deck and providing a roof covering over associated with Unit 11
                      (Lot 6 GTP 3209). The deck increased by 11.6m2 or 0.28% of the site area. (Council
                      Reference (51991.475.05).
               f)     On 17 July 2026, Council approved a Council approved a minor change application to extend
                      the existing structure over the front upper-level deck with the roof extension pitched at the
                      same angle as the existing roof form. This also included addressing constructed changes
                      such as the widening of the front deck which increased the site cover by 11.6m2. (Council
                      Reference (51991.475.00).


               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 (20 March 2026).
               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;
               •    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.
