2. BACKGROUND
On the 12 October 1998 the Planning and Environment Court granted a Consent Permit (TPC2850)
for a group housing development for 8 dwelling units over the subject land. A subsequent approval
for the subdivision was granted in accordance with the court approval.
A plan of development (POD) was approved as part of the consent order and provides statutory
development controls for the approved lots.
Over time various material change of use approvals have been issued over other lots.
A development approval for a Material Change of Use – Dwelling House was issued for the subject
site on 15 August 2022.
3. ASSESSMENT
3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to the proposed changes:
• Low Density Residential Zone Code
• Low Density Housing Code
The applicant has provided amended plans that alter the floor plan of the dwelling. The original
approval permitted a total gross floor area (GFA) of 605m² and the proposed changes result in a
total GFA of 631.58m2. The proposed changes relate to conversion of a partial basement area
approved for carparking to GFA. This area is buried under the ground and does not present an
appearance of bulk to the surrounding area and will not impact on landscaping requirement. The
changes are considered to achieve the requirements of the Performance Outcome PO8 of the
Low Density Residential Zone Code.
The development is considered generally in accordance with the development permit.
4. CONSULTATION
Not applicable
5. CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The changes are considered minor and are in keeping with the approval and can be considered
generally in accordance with the approval. The proposed development generally complies with the
requirements of the planning scheme and does not raise any significant issues that cannot be
addressed by reasonable and relevant conditions. The generally in accordance request is therefore
recommended for approval.
The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
