Minor Change Application

                      (i)     that comes into effect after the change application is made
                              but before it is decided; and
                      (ii)    that the responsible entity would have been required to
                              consider if the instrument had been in effect when the
                              development application for the development approval was
                              properly made.

Comment:
The original application was assessed against the Noosa Plan 2020, and this remains the
relevant assessment document. As none of the relevant assessment benchmarks in the Noosa
Plan 2020 have changed since the application was approved, it is considered that the
development remains consistent with the matters that applied when the original application
was assessed. In this respect, it should also be noted that the revised design continues to
comply with AO12.2 of the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code as it will provide a
vehicle manoeuvring area on site which will allow vehicles to enter and leave the site in a
forward gear. On this basis, the proposal complies with the associated Performance Outcome,
PO12 as it will provide safe vehicular access to and from the site, without adversely impacting
on the safety of the road network.

CONCLUSION

The application seeks approval for a minor change to the approved site plan to remove the
turntable and replace it with a widened driveway and on-site turning area. The assessment
set out above, confirms that the proposed change is consistent with the definition of a minor
change in the Planning Act and the development continues to be consistent with the relevant
assessment benchmarks in the Noosa Plan 2020. On this basis, we believe the proposed
minor change warrants Council’s support.

Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact
me direct.

Yours faithfully
