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
The Noosa Plan 2020.
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 addition is minor in nature;
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.
Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
Medium Density Residential Zone Code;
Coastal Communities Local Plan Code;
Works Codes.

Applicant’s Request
The proposed minor change seeks approval for roofed patio structure within the rear yard of unit 5. The proposed roofed patio has dimensions of 3m x 4.85m and is 2.7 metres high.
Assessment of Request
The proposed roofed patio is a lightweight open structure situated at the rear of unit 6. The roofed patio is 14.55m2 and will subsequently increase site cover by 1.5%. The proposal will increase the total site cover to 476m2 (34%), which complies with site cover requirements as per the Medium Density Residential Zone Code. The permitted site cover at the time of the original development was 560m2 (40%), and the proposed addition to unit 5 will comply with this requirement.
The roofed patio is proposed to be setback 1.7 metres from the rear setback in lieu of the required 6 metres as per Acceptable Outcome AO12.1. The proposal is considered to comply with corresponding Performance Outcome PO12 for the following reasons:
The roofed patio will provide a high level of amenity to users of the subject site and will promote outdoor living and liveability of the unit.
The proposed roof patio is a low profile, open and lightweight structure and will not unreasonably obstruct views or diminish the acoustic and visual privacy of adjoining premises.
The roofed patio is to be constructed over an existing paved terrace area and the proposal will preserve and maintain existing landscaped areas.
The proposal will not be visible from the street frontage and will be consistent with the predominant character of the area. A similar unenclosed roofed patio was recently approved for the rear yard of the adjoining unit (unit 6).

conclusion & reasons for decision
