1. PROPOSAL
The applicant seeks approval to change an existing Development Permit for Material Change of
Use of Premises – Commercial Business Type 1 Office & Type 2 Medical.
The proposed changes seek to remove two parking spaces in ‘Basement 1’ to relocate fire pumps
(the ‘proposed development’) at 26 Eenie Creek Rd Noosaville (the ‘subject site’ or ‘Medihub’).
The Medihub has received a conditional occupancy certificate that indicates non-conformance with
fire safety regulations. The fire pumps and electrical switchboard were initially approved together,
but failed the final inspection, thus requiring relocation of the pumps to the proposed location
indicated on plan.
In addition to the car parking proposal, the applicant has also indicated several GIA changes and
additional minor amendments which have come about due to constructability, resolution of
previously identified design conflicts and consistency between plans. The applicant has provided
an itemised description of these changes which are primarily reflected in the amended ‘approved
plans’ proposed (condition 2). The changes include:
Figure 1 – Additional proposed amendments (provided by applicant)
The resulting works will require the loss of two parking spaces, which has been justified in the
applicants transport assessment.
The locality and proposal plan are included below.

2. BACKGROUND
A Development Permit for Material Change of Use of Premises – Commercial Business Type 1
Office & Type 2 Medical was approved on 18 August 2022. The building is two storeys in height
and provides parking both at grade and within two basement levels. The building is constructed
and in the process of occupation by tenants.
A minor change was subsequently approved on 20 April 2023, with the changes primarily relating
to the relocation of 93m² of approved GFA from the ground floor to basement ‘level 02’ for the
purpose of a purpose built radiation treatment facility. The changes involved the reduction of
carparking from 104 to 96 spaces which was off set by a reduction in the GFA. The reduction in
carparking was supported based on conditions being imposed to ensure the oncology use was
linked to the radiation bunker. .
3. ASSESSMENT
3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
Page 3 of 9
Document Set ID: 23482191
Version: 6, Version Date: 21/02/2025
Page 4
• State Planning Policy;
• South East Queensland Regional Plan;
• Planning Regulation 2017; and
• Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020).
3.2. Statutory Process
The applicant has requested to make a minor change to a development approval under s78 of the
Planning Act 2016. An application for a minor change to a development approval can only be made
in circumstances where a change would constitute a ‘minor change’.
The proposed change to the development approval requested by the applicant is determined to
constitute a minor change on the grounds that:
• the development would not result in substantially different development as the proposal does
not:
o involve a new use; or
o result in the application applying to a new parcel of land; or
o dramatically change the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance; or
o change the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended; or
o remove a component that is integral to the operation of the development; or
o significantly impact on traffic flow and the transport network, such as increasing traffic
to the site; or
o introduce new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts; or
o remove an incentive or offset component that would have balanced a negative impact
of the development; or
o impact on infrastructure provisions.
• the change does not include prohibited development;
• the change would not require the application to be referred to an additional referral agency
or cause a referral agency to have regard to new matters prescribed by regulation;
• where the original application was code assessable, the change would not cause the
application to become impact assessable.
3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The subject site was zoned Shire Business Centre under the 2006 Noosa Plan and was a
consistent code assessable use in the zone.
Under the current Noosa Plan 2020, the site is included in the Major Centre zone and the
Showroom Precinct which details offices and health care services as impact and inconsistent uses.
It is noted that the built form requirements of the Noosa Plan 2020 are generally consistent with
the Noosa Plan 2006, however the Noosa Plan 2020 provides for increased height and gross floor
area which is generally reflected in the approval.
The following codes from Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
• Major Centre Zone Code;
• Noosaville Local Plan Code;
• Business Uses Code;
• Works Codes;
3.4. Changes to Carparking
The changes proposed in this application are limited to the relocation of the fire hydrant and other
plant as a result of QFES amendments. There is no change proposed to any built form components
such as building height, site cover, gross floor area, setbacks etc. The reduction of two car parking
spaces has been justified in the transport assessment undertaken by SLR consulting. A table of
the proposed changes (in relation to traffic and transportation) is provided below (refer Figure 4).

Figure 4 – Proposed changes table (provided by applicant)
As can be seen in the figure 4 above, there are a few consequential transport impacts identified
and envisaged in undertaking the reduction of two car parking spaces. The transport assessment
report has been peer reviewed internally and has subsequently been deemed satisfactory for the
intended purpose.

4.2. Internal Council Referrals
The application was forwarded to the following internal Council officers for review and/or comment:
• Senior Development Engineer, Development Assessment
The Senior Development Engineer has provided the following in relation to application
material, namely the transport assessment reports,
‘The reduction in overall carparking numbers is considered a planning outcome.
It is engineering’s opinion is that the reduction of 2 carparks is inconsequential to the overall
development, which is not substantially changing. In the event all 94 carparks are occupied, it is
expected that overflow parking will occur on Stockwell land and will not cause adverse impacts to
local road network.
The traffic report is sufficient in justifying the reduction. It is engineering’s opinion that the change
should be supported. No referral required.’
5. CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
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 application is therefore recommended for approval.
The report is provided in accordance with Section 83(9) of the Planning Act 2016.
