Letter to Noosa Council - Change Application · MCU17/0073.01

 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”



the operation of the church under condition 21, both of which have to be measured and
certified. The noise expert has advised that the development will be able to meet the criteria
until 10 pm. Consequently, it is requested that Condition 13 be amended as follows:

The church must not operate outside the hours of:
   a) 7am to 10pm Monday to Thursday
   b) 7am to 10pm Friday and Saturday
   c) 8am to 10pm Sunday or any public holiday.
   d) A dawn service is allowed on an infrequent basis, not exceeding one or two services per
       year.

Under section 80 of the PA2016, the change application is to be referred to Energex Limited
being a referral agency (advice) for the original application.

Under the definition of a minor change (Schedule 1 of the PA2016), the changes made will not
result in a substantially different development according to Schedule 1 of the Development
Assessment Rules.

The change made to condition 13 reduces the hours of operation to 10 pm Friday and
Saturday, which will minimise any adverse amenity impacts. Further, the changes made to the
proposal plans do not change the use and will not dramatically change the built form in terms
of its scale, bulk, and appearance (condition 2). In my opinion, the proposed changes being
made to the plans of development under condition 2 and the change made to conditions 12
and 13 can be considered a “minor change”.

Should you require further information or have any concerns, please contact me.

Yours faithfully
