                        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

                        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               The original application was lodged and assessed under the now superseded 1990 Schedule to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:
               •        Medium Density Residential Zone Code;
               •        Noosa Heads Local Plan Code;
               •        Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code;
               •        Works Codes;

               At the time of the original approval the subject site was zoned Residential Low Density under the
               Shire of Noosa Strategic Plan (5 September 1997).

               Under Noosa Plan 2020, the site is zoned Medium Density Residential.

               A Dual Occupancy use is a consistent use on this site under both planning schemes.

               The following table details the proposal’s compliance with the 1990 and current planning scheme.
               It is noted that the definitions from the 1990 and current planning scheme, hence different
               calculations for the Plot Ratio/GFA.
