Minor Change Report 51988 2740 02 [As Published] · 51988.2740.02

               •      where the original application was code assessable, the change would not cause the
                      application to become impact assessable.
               3.3. 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;
               •      Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code;
               •      Works Codes.
               The proposed change increases the development’s total gross floor area and site cover and
               intrudes into the 6m rear setback.
               The existing development has a plot ratio of 0.34:1 and a site cover of 24.5%. The proposed
               changes will increase the plot ratio to 0.39:1 and site cover to 31.3%. The proposed changes
               remain consistent with the Noosa Plan 2020 maximum requirements for plot ratio of 0.4:1 and
               site cover of 40%.
               In terms of the rear setback the proposed new bedroom is located within the 6m rear setback
               being 3 metres from the rear boundary.
               The applicant submits in support of the proposed rear setback that:
               •    The adjoining rear property (16 Solway Drive) features a structure within 6m of the rear
                    boundary setback and so the proposed 3m rear setback is not inconsistent with development
                    in the Medium Density Residential zone.
               •    The proposed 3m rear setback is 3.073m in external length, 16.2% of the boundary length,
                    and does not feature windows in the rear so creates minimal impact to the rear neighbour in
                    terms of shading or privacy impacts.
               •    There is an exiting pergola in a similar place and size to the proposal, and so the change is
                    extremely minor.
               •    The backyard is currently heavily landscaped which provides a dense vegetated buffer
                    between the site and the adjoining residential properties.
