PLANNING REPORT other change Olaf

6.0 Conclusion
This application seeks an Other Change to the development approval to change the approved
Caretakers residence use to a Dwelling house at 2/40 Duke Street, Sunshine Beach. The proposed
Dwelling house is a consistent use in the Tourist Accommodation Zone and is ‘Accepted
Development subject to requirement’. This report has demonstrated the proposal complies with the
development approval and the Noosa Plan 2020.
The Planning Act 2016 prescribes that a code assessment must be carried out only—

         (a)   against the assessment benchmarks in a categorising instrument for the development (The Noosa Plan 2020); and

         (b) having regard to any matters prescribed by regulation.

Council, after carrying out the assessment—

         (a) must decide to approve the application to the extent the development complies with all of the assessment benchmarks for
         the development; and

         (b) may decide to approve the application even if the development does not comply with some of the assessment benchmarks;
         and

         Examples—
                 1           An assessment manager may approve an application for development that does not comply with some of
                             the benchmarks if the decision resolves a conflict between the benchmarks.

                   2         An assessment manager may approve an application for development that does not comply with some of
                             the benchmarks if the decision resolves a conflict between the benchmarks and a referral agency’s
                             response.

         (c) may impose development conditions on an approval; and

         (d) may, to the extent the development does not comply with some or all the assessment benchmarks, decide to refuse the
         application only if compliance cannot be achieved by imposing development conditions.

         Example of a development condition—
                            a development condition that affects the way the development is carried out, or the management of uses
                            or works that are the natural and ordinary consequence of the development, but does not have the effect
                            of changing the type of development applied for


The assessment finds the development complies with the Development Approval, all the relevant
Performance Outcomes of the applicable codes. The Assessment Manager’s favourable
consideration of the above development application is therefore recommended.
