3.6 Change Application Type
The proposed works constitute an ‘Other Change’ on the basis that it does not comply with the definition of a
‘Minor Change’. A minor change is defined by the Planning Act 2016 for a development approval –

    (i)        “would not result in substantially different development; and


    (ii)       if a development application for the development, including the change, were made when the
               change application is made would not cause—

   A. the inclusion of prohibited development in the application; or

   B. referral to a referral agency, other than to the chief executive, if there were no referral agencies for the
   development application; or

   C. referral to extra referral agencies, other than to the chief executive; or

   D. a referral agency, in assessing the application under section 55(2), to assess the application against,
   or have regard to, a matter, other than a matter the referral agency must have assessed the application
   against, or had regard to, when the application was made; or

   E. public notification if public notification was not required for the development application”.

The development is considered to constitute substantially different development because of the change in
the level of assessment under the current version of the Planning Scheme (Amendment No.3/2026 of Noosa
Plan 2020) rather than any material change to the approved development outcome. As such, the works
constitute an ‘Other Change’. This is further outlined in Section 7.1 of this report.

Under the Noosa Plan 2020, a bedroom is defined as a space used or intended for sleeping, or other habitable
rooms that may reasonably be used for sleeping, such as media or rumpus rooms. While the proposal does
not include any spaces expressly identified as bedrooms, the club lounge could be considered comparable
to a media or rumpus room.

The definition of a ‘Bedroom’ under the Noosa Plan 2020 is described as follows:

    Bedroom means an area of a building or structure which:

    a.     is used, designed or intended for use for sleeping (but excludes a lounge room, dining room, living
           room, kitchen, water closet, bathroom, laundry, garage or plant room); or
