1. PROPOSAL
The applicant seeks approval to change an existing development approval for a Material Change
of Use - Dual occupancy for the purpose of providing a lift in each unit.
This has resulted in the following changes:
Ground Level - The lift is to be located adjacent to the kitchens and setback 2m.
• The lift will be 6m high and compliant with the side setback requirements.
• Steel trellis with landscaping is proposed on the outside of the lift to provide variation to the
vertical element.
• The stairwell reconfigured to not increase the GFA.
First Level
• Rearrange the void area to provide access to the lift well. The stairs have been rearranged to
ensure there is no net increase in GFA.
It is to be noted that the proposed changes have been shown on plans prepared by a different
architect to those approved; the plans remain reflective of the approved development.
The locality and proposal plan are included below.

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
• The Noosa Plan 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 extent of
changes are inconsequential;
• 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:
• Medium Density Residential Zone Code;
• Noosa Heads Local Plan Code;
• Dual Occupancy & Multiple Dwellings Use Code;
• Works Codes;
• Landslide Hazard Overlay Code.
The Noosa Plan 2020 (v. 25 September 2020) remains in effect at the time assessment of the
immediate application. The development remains consistent with the original development
approval.
Condition 2 - Approved Plans
2. Development undertaken in accordance with this approval must generally comply with the
approved plans of development. The approved plans are listed in the following table unless
otherwise amended by these conditions.

Applicant’s Request
To change the approved plans to allow for a lift from each garage to upper level.
Ground Level - The lift is to be located adjacent to the kitchens and setback 2m.
• The lift will be 6m high and compliant with the side setback requirements.
• Steel trellis with landscaping is proposed on the outside of the lift to provide variation to the
vertical element.
• The stairwell reconfigured to not increase the GFA.
First Level
• Rearrange the void area to provide access to the lift well. The stairs have been rearranged
to ensure there is no net increase in GFA.
Assessment of Request
Gross Floor Area
While the approved Lower Floor Plan floor area increases, the gross floor area does not, as the
Lower Floor Plan is compliant with the administrative term for basement, and therefore is not a
storey and is not captured as GFA.
The applicant has made changes to the stairway configuration while remaining within the approved
building footprint. The changes result in GFA exclusions as per the administrative term of gross
floor area. This allows for a walkway to the lift (where previously a void) without exceeding the plot
ratio allowable on the site. The development’s revised gross floor area calculations are shown in
Figure 5.
Site Cover
The development was approved with 38.9% site cover, leaving 6.6m2 available. The inclusion of
the lifts increases the development’ site coverage by a total of 3.2m2, with the total site coverage
now being 39.5%.

The proposed additions and alternations for the purpose of incorporating a lift into each unit does
not raise conflict with the Planning Scheme, the approved density of the development remains
upheld.
Conditions 2 and 7 will be amended to reflect the updated plans.
4. CONSULTATION
4.1. Referral Agencies
Not applicable
4.2. Internal Council Referrals
Not applicable
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.
