               2.       BACKGROUND
               A development approval for the use and development of the land for Retail Showrooms was issued
               on 7 May 1996 under approval 3B-452.
               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 (26 September 2025).
               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:
                        o     involve a new use; or
                        o     result in the application applying to a new parcel of land; or
                        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     introduce new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts; or
                        o     remove an incentive or offset component that would have balanced a negative impact
                              of the development; or
                        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 Noosa 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:
