Martoo Planning Statement Minor Change

            (b) may assess against, or have regard to, the matters that applied when the change application
                was made.

The applicable planning instruments that Council must have regard to are:
             State Planning Regulation;
             State Planning Policy; and
             The Noosa Plan.

The site is within the urban footprint and the site is approved for aged care. The proposal does not change
the use or scale of impacts and is consistent with the higher order State Planning Regulations and Planning
Policies.

The proposed works and extensions have been reviewed against the provisions of the Noosa Plan and are
consistent with the approved development parameters except in relation to building height. As detailed
above, the revised plans do not comply with height provisions from natural ground however are considered
appropriate due to the location of the buildings, the approved use and surrounding vegetation which will
provide a backdrop for the development.


Conclusion

The proposed changes meet the criteria for a minor change and provide a more efficient and cost
effective solution to the restrictions placed on the original development.

The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is
therefore recommended.

Please contact our Noosa office if you require any further information and/or clarification with respect
to the above application.


Yours sincerely,
