               •      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).
