        (b) if the application for the approval were remade including the change—
                 (i)    require referral to additional concurrence agencies;

                Comment: The proposed change would not require the application to be referred to
                additional concurrence agencies.

                or

                (ii)   for an approval for assessable development that previously did not require
                       impact assessment—require impact assessment; or

                Comment: The original approval required impact assessment.

        (c) for an approval for assessable development that previously required impact assessment—
            be likely, in the responsible entity’s opinion, to cause a person to make a properly made
            submission objecting to the proposed change, if the circumstances allowed; or

                Comment: No submissions were received for the original application. The proposed change
                would be unlikely to cause a person to make a properly made submission if the
                circumstances allowed as the minor height increases relate to parts of the building towards
                the rear of the site which back onto park reserve and which are not visible from Hofmann
                Drive.

        (d) cause development to which the approval relates to include any prohibited development.

                Comment: The proposed change does not propose the inclusion of any prohibited
                development.

(2) For deciding whether a change is a permissible change under subsection (1)(b) or (d), the planning
    instruments or law in force at the time the request for the change was made apply (the applicable
    law).

                Comment: The proposed change does not offend the provisions of the Noosa Plan as the
                original approval already allowed for a minor height increase.


CONCLUSION

In light of the above, it is considered that the proposed change to the development complies with the
provisions of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, as it is minor in nature and does not change the intent of
the approval. Approval of the request to change the development approval is therefore warranted.

Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me direct.


Yours faithfully
