Minor Change Planning Statement to NSC · 51901.4113.01

The Noosa Plan 2006 is the current Planning Scheme for the Noosa Area. The Plan includes the site in
the Noosa Heads Locality in the Semi - Attached Housing Zone which caters for small unit developments.

The original application for four units was approved under TPC82 in April 1979 under the 1973 Planning
scheme. The existing development has been compared to the provisions of the current Noosa Plan 2006
in the table 1.0 below. As detailed in this table, the existing building does not comply with population
density, gross floor area, building height and setback provisions of the current Noosa Plan.

The proposal does not alter the external appearance of the building or the population density with the only
changed criteria relating to Gross Floor Area (GFA). A review of the proposed GFA against the Specific
Outcome is detailed below:

       O9 The site cover, gross floor area and plot ratio of buildings and other roofed structures—
       a) results in a building scale that is compatible with surrounding development;

       The proposed increase in gross floor area relates to an area that is internal to the building and does
       not change the external appearance of the building or impact on building scale.

        b) does not present an appearance of excessive bulk to adjacent properties, roads or other areas
           in the vicinity of the site;

       The proposed increase in gross floor area relates to an area that is internal to the building and does
       not change the external appearance of the building or impact on building scale. The additional floor
       area is not visible to surrounding premises due to existing fencing and landscaping and being
       located in an existing void area.


       c) maximises the retention of existing vegetation and allows for soft landscaping between buildings;

       No alteration to existing vegetation on site.
