Minor Change Report 51991.475.07 (As Published)

               3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
               The original application was lodged and assessed under the now superseded 1985 Noosa Plan.
               Pursuant to s81 of the Planning Act 2017, Council must consider the planning scheme in effect
               when the original development application was lodged, however Council may give weight to Noosa
               Plan 2020 as the planning scheme in effect at the time of the minor change application being
               lodged.
               The following codes from Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      Medium Density Residential Zone Code;
               •      Noosa Heads Local Plan Code;
               •      Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code
               •      Works Codes.


               Site Cover
               The proposed conversion of garage to living areas an enclosure of existing carport to garage will
               not change the site cover. Therefore, the total site cover based on desk top calculations and
               includes all approved changes remains 39.53%. This site cover accords with Performance
               Outcome 12 of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code which prescribes a maximum 40% site
               cover.


               Plot Ratio
               a) The conversion of the garage to living area increases the GFA by approximately 18m2.
                  Although under the 1990 Planning Scheme, gross floor area calculations included staircases,
                  whereas the current scheme excludes stairs from GFA calculations.
               Both of the above constructed unapproved changes are unlikely to have had any negative impacts
               on neighbour amenity.
               Landslide Hazard Overlay
               As the proposed minor change is limited to internal changes to an existing Multiple Dwelling, it is
               considered to comply with the provisions of the Landslide Hazard Overlay Code


               Existing Condition 1

               associated with the change sought to unit 2 via this application. In this regard condition 1 will remain
               unchanged.
