               2.     BACKGROUND
               The Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort (previously known as the Sheraton Noosa) was not the subject
               of an existing town planning approval, as it was developed by Suncorp, as an agency of the State
               Government. Those circumstances have changed and the hotel is now subject to the Planning
               Scheme and relevant provisions affecting the Tourist Accommodation Zone that apply to the site.
               Since the development of the site for a resort, a range of approvals have been given for
               modifications to the Hotel, with the more recent approvals relevant to this application including:
               •      02382 – Conversion of the Chart House Restaurant to a day spa and changes relating to the
                      first floor level involving the reception area, shops and lounge bar, which was approved 16
                      March 2000.
               •      02382 – Further amendments to the Day Spa and coffee lounge, which were approved
                      August 2000.
               •      Further amendments were approved in May 2004 which included some façade changes,
                      remodelling the meeting and games rooms and restaurant areas.
               •      A further change was approved in November 2016 permitting a cabana located to the
                      northern side of the pool podium between 2 existing buildings.
               •      In April 2025, a Minor Change to the Town Planning Consent Permit (Ref: 132004.240022.2
                      - 23693 DA) was approved. The change involved converting an existing terrace—previously
                      used for private dining and functions—into additional restaurant dining space. It also included
                      removing a private dining room and incorporating that area into the main restaurant.
                      Internally, the works included installing a new staircase connecting Level 1 of the restaurant
                      to the basement car park.
               •      On 10 October 2025, a Minor Change to the Town Planning Consent Permit (ref:
                      132004.240022.3 - 23693 DA was approved for several changes to the development that
                      are described in the ‘Proposal’ section of the Minor Change Report.
