Minor Change

The proposed fall prevention platform and revised roof are still considered to be consistent with the
definition of a minor change as detailed in the Planning Act is detailed below. The Planning Act 2016
states that a minor change:

      b) for a development approval, is a change to the approval that —
        (i) would not result in a substantially different development; and

      The proposed works are considered to comply with the provisions relating to a minor change
      and are not considered to be a substantially different development as detailed by the
      Development Assessment Rules which include:

          (a) involves a new use;

                  No new use proposed.

          (b) results in the application applying to a new parcel of land;

                  No new parcel of land to be utilised.

          (c) dramatically changes the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance;

                    Building form not dramatically altered as proposed solar panels located over existing driveway and main
                    building form retained in its approved form. Solar panels have been relocated to be below adjoining
                    existing dwellings.

                    Fall prevention platforms are minor, extend from the existing pool structure and do not contribute to
                    building scale or bulk.

                    New roof line is still below 8.0 metre height limit and comprises a further 400mm. The increased height
                    will not be visible to the beach or to surrounding areas.


          (d) changes the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended;

                  Proposed works enhance operation of dwelling.

          (e) removes a component that is integral to the operation of the development;

                  No components removed.

          (f) significantly impacts on traffic flow and the transport network, such as increasing traffic to the site;

                  Works do not impact on traffic flow or increase traffic to the site.

          (g) introduces new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts;

                  Proposed solar panels are located in a setback area that is currently approved for use as a driveway to the
                  dwelling. The panels have been located below the view lines of the existing dwellings to the west and will
                  not impact on the visual amenity of the area. The panels will not be visible to the beach front as they will be
                  screened by the existing building and do not impact on the stability of the site.

                  The proposed fall prevention platform is located at the end of the existing approved pool in an area already
                  disturbed. Revegetation and landscaping of the area around the spa and platform will limit any impacts on
                  the surrounding area.

                  New roof height is still below 8 metre limit and below sight lines of adjoining buildings.
