The applicant has provided the following information regarding the proposal:
These proposed works within the 6m wide setback from the site’s frontage to Cooroy Noosa Road include:
installation of two 2500 litre water storage tanks for firefight purposes noting that each tank measures 4.8m in length and 2.4m in height and width
installation of two fire hydrant being diesel powered pumpsets housed in an enclosure measuring 3.6m in length and 2.3 in width and a height of 2.1m
water mains typically of 150mm diameter connecting these fire-fighting facilities to the existing community infrastructure water main within the nearby road and to the existing internal firefighting network which includes the existing nearby meter and check valve

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 form and extent of the use remains unchanged;
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.

Applicant’s Request
The following are relevant when assessing the operational works and plumbing & drainage works as proposed in this changes application to the existing land use approval:
The proposed works have resulted purely from there being insufficient pressure at the hydrants from the existing community infrastructure for water supply that services the site.
These works will not involve the loss of any onsite parking spaces or impact on any driveways or manoeuvring areas as shown on any relevant land use approval.
These works will not involve the clearing of any established vegetation within the site and does not involve any clearing of vegetation within the adjoining road.
The proposal does not impact on streetscape due to a loss of any vegetated due to the established vegetation in the road between the site and the adjoining public domain
Although the proposed water tanks are 2.4m high and the proposed enclosure for the two pumpsets 2.1 high, there is an existing solid wooden fence 1.8m between these works and the adjoining road.

Assessment of Request
The provision of upgraded fire-fighting infrastructure is known to be required where an existing use/facility is increased due to insufficient water pressure in the existing water supply services. It is also known that QFES requirements dictate where these upgraded services, generally being required to be located at a property frontage.
In this instance the proposed changes are generally considered to be minor variations to the existing approval. The proposed fire hydrant pump room will not have a detrimental impact on the streetscape due to the extensive vegetation within the road reserve, noting that the upgraded infrastructure is to be located behind an existing 1.8 metre high fence and no established vegetation on site or within the road reserve is required to be removed.
The following image details the vegetated road reserve which the structures are to be located behind:

It is also noted that the proposed works do not result in the loss of existing on-site car parking.
It is recommended that the application be approved and Condition 1 which details the table of plans be amended to include the new plans to read as follows:

conclusion & reasons for decision
This minor change application seeks to amend the existing approval to facilitate the inclusion of upgraded fire-fighting infrastructure. The upgraded infrastructure is required as the existing water pressure does not provide adequate water pressure for fire-fighting purposes. The proposed change is supported on the basis that it provides suitable fire-fighting infrastructure, there will be no detrimental impact on the streetscape and existing car parking is to be maintained.
