1. PROPOSAL
The applicant seeks a retrospective approval to change an existing development approval for
Material Change of Use – Additions to Surf Life Saving Club. Building approvals have already been
issued and works undertaken for refurbishment works within the Club; however, these works were
undertaken without the necessary changes and approvals required to the existing Material Change
of Use permit.
The proposed changes relate to internal layout modifications involving demolition of existing
internal structures with replacement of walls and several changes to external doors and windows.
The proposed changes predominantly relate to the internal layout which are within the existing
building footprint. There are some proposed changes to the building footprint, that comprise of the
new roof panels (awnings) on the northern and eastern façades and the enclosing of the area
underneath the existing deck, which result in additional gross floor area and site cover.
It is noted that the existing awning located on the eastern façade is partially outside the lease
boundary within the lease boundary. The existing roof currently projects approximately 1.5 metres
beyond the lease boundary, with an associated concrete slab extending 3.3 metres outside the
lease area. The new roof is proposed to extend over the existing slab to provide weather protection
in front of the roller door located on the eastern elevation. This modification achieves its functional
purpose and does not result in a significant change to the building’s scale, bulk, or overall
appearance. The proposed changes do not constitute substantially different development.
Council’s Property Manager has provided email advice (ECM Document Ref: 24374538)
consenting to the awning extending outside the lease area.
On the ground floor, the proposal involves reconfiguring the internal layout to provide new Nippers,
men’s and women’s change areas, revised equipment storage, training spaces for new members,
updated administration areas, retention or relocation of the first aid room, and a revised club entry.
The proposal also includes the removal or replacement of various doors, windows, fences, roller
doors, and roofed structures. Notably the proposal includes an extension to an existing awning/roof
structure on the northern façade of the building that extends beyond the lease boundary.
On the upper floor, internally there are changes including rearranging the function room and bar
layout, revising the stair design, modifying the kitchen layout, altering the deck area, introducing a
new maître d’ station to accommodate an autonomous food service system and removing the poker
machine room. It is noted that Council has resolved to explore a new policy to strengthen its role
in reducing gambling-related harm by establishing guidelines for the use of electronic gaming
machines (EGMs) on council-owned and trustee land.
The locality and proposal plan are included below.

2. BACKGROUND
The property is under a lease agreement which covers the property, extends over the road reserve
and the park reserve and contains an existing Surf Club building which is 2 storeys in height and
comprises a total floor area of 647m2.
TPC 1982 – At the Council’s meeting dated 1 December 1987, Council resolved to approve an
application for the erection of a Surf Life Saving Clubhouse for the Peregian Beach S.L.S.C.
Modification of TPC 1982 – Council at its meeting held on 2 February 1988 resolved to modify
Condition 2 of the approval. The modification included an additional deck area that required the
provision of at least 5 off-street car parking spaces (including a 1 metre buffer strip to Kingfisher
Drive and that access was to be sealed pavement.
21866 DA – A development approval for a Material Change of Use – Additions to Surf Life Saving
Club was approved on 17 January 2002 in relation to extending the deck on the first floor with an
area of 121m2, resulting in some internal renovations to the bar area.
The Council resolution stated that a further report by the Manager – Land Use addressing previous
Council decisions on Surf Club extensions at Noosa Heads and Sunshine Beach and the issues
of application fees and car parking, will be presented to the Ordinary Meeting. The report included
the following acknowledgments regarding the provision of car parking for the Peregian Beach
S.L.S.C:
The report acknowledges that whilst additional carparking would be applicable for the proposal, no
additional carparking was provided for the original approval for the development. The
reconfiguration of the site clearly prevented any additional carparking being able to be provided on
site with street carparking to continue to service the site.
In the cover letter attached to the Decision Notice for this modification, the Peregian Beach S.L.S.C
was advised of the following regarding the decision:
Council also agreed to a 50% reduction of fees and there will be no requirement for a carparking
contribution for the recognition of the community services provided by the Peregian Beach Surf

Lifesaving Club and the adequacy of parking in the locality during the predominantly night time
trading hours of the Club.
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:
• 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 dramatically change the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance.
3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The original application was lodged and assessed under the now superseded 1985 Planning
Scheme and the associated Schedule to the Planning Scheme. Pursuant to s81 of the Planning
Act 2017, Council must consider the planning scheme in effect when the original development
application was lodged, however Council may give weight to Noosa Plan 2020 as the planning
scheme in effect at the time of the minor change application being lodged.
The following codes from Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
• Recreation and Open Space Zone Code;
• Coastal Communities Local Plan Code;
• Community Activities Code;
• Works Codes;
• Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Code; and
• Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Overlay Code.
Car Parking
Under the superseded 1985 Planning Scheme and the associated Schedule to the Planning
Scheme, the lease area where the SLSC is located was zoned Open Space and the development
was defined as Indoor Entertainment. In the Open Space Zone, Indoor Entertainment requires a
Town Planning Consent Permit. Indoor Entertainment from a car parking provision perspective

Document Set ID: 24306635
Version: 17, Version Date: 08/04/2026
Page 7
required one parking space per 20m2 or one parking space for every three persons able to be
entertained at any one time, calculated at the maximum capacity, whichever is the greater.
21866DA (2001/02) set a 768 m² enclosed GFA baseline and a larger deck, it did not establish
additional on‑site parking within the lease area.
The Minor Change application reconfigures existing internal areas and adds open awnings such
that no new GFA is proposed. On that basis, no additional parking is triggered under Noosa Plan
2020 (Amendment 2).
A condition will be added to ensure that the lower level is used only for purposes ancillary to
lifesaving activities, including but not limited to training, amenities, equipment storage and
operational support functions.
