Minor Change Report 51901 4174 01 · 51901.4174.01

               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 proposed
                      change will not alter the use of the approval and will not increase the scale of the
                      development.
               •      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 following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      High Density Residential Zone Code;
               •      Noosa Heads Local Plan Code;
               •      Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code.
               The applicant proposes a new irregularly shaped opening patio roof over the existing patio area of
               unit 1. The proposed patio roof will be 23.65m2 and has a height of 3 metres. The patio is to be
               setback 2.7 metres from both the northern and western boundaries.
               The proposed change does not increase the plot ratio of the development given the structure is to
               remain unenclosed.
               The old scheme in place at the time of the original approval allowed a maximum site cover of 35%,
               and the Noosa Plan 2020 allows a total site cover of 40%. The original application approved a site
               cover of 34.5% (255m2) and as such the existing development is under the allowable site cover
               under the both the old planning scheme and the Noosa Plan 2020. The proposed opening patio
               roof will increase site cover to 37.7%, which is under the allowable 40%.
               The proposed change is recommended for approval.

               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 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
