               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 (25 September 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’.
               3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
               The original application was lodged and assessed under the now superseded Noosa Plan 2020
               (25 September 2020). 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:
               •      Works Codes
               There were no changes to the Works Codes introduced with the latest revision of The Noosa Plan
               2020.


               Existing Condition 2
               2.     The Currency Period for this development approval lapses if the development has not
                      substantially started by 25 September 2026, unless an application to extend the currency
                      period is approved by Council.


               Applicant’s Request
               The applicant has requested existing condition 2 be amended and replaced with the following
               amended condition:
               2.     The Currency Period for this development approval lapses if the development has not
                      substantially started by 25 September 2028, unless an application to extend the currency
                      period is approved by Council.
               The applicant has not provided any justification for request to extend the currency period.


               Assessment of Request
               The request to extend the currency period is considered reasonable and inconsequential.


               Recommendation
               It is recommended existing condition 2 be amended to read as follows:
               2.     The Currency Period for this development approval lapses if the development has not
                      substantially started by 25 September 2028, unless an application to extend the currency
                      period is approved by Council.
                                                                                                      Page 3 of 4
