Minor Change Test

An assessment against the meaning of minor change and a response about the proposed
application is provide below. The Planning Act 2016 defines a minor change as a change to the
approval that:

i. would not result in a substantially different development*;
      (*In determining whether the proposed change would result in substantially different
      development, the assessment manager or referral agency must consider the individual
      circumstances of the development, in the context of the change proposed.)

Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment Rules set outs provisions for a substantially different
development. A change may be considered to result in a substantially different development if the
proposed change results in any of the following outlined in Table 1 below.

Table 1 - Substantially different development

 Provisions of Schedule 1 of the DA Rules             Response
    (a) Involves a new use                            There is no new use proposed onsite
    (b) results in the application applying to a      No new parcel of land is introduced
         new parcel of land; or
    (c) dramatically changes the built form in        Although the design changes slightly, the
         terms of scale, bulk and appearance; or      dwelling is situated entirely on the site
                                                      and is compliant with height, setbacks,
                                                      plot ratio and site cover. The modification
                                                      to the approved plans do not dramatically
                                                      change the scale, bulk or appearance of
                                                      the development.
      (d) changes the ability of the proposed         No change to the use approved.

          traffic to the site; or                     originally approved.
      (g) introduces new impacts or increase the      No new impacts or the severity of impacts

      (h) removes an incentive or offset              Does not remove an offset or incentive
          component that would have balanced a        components of the development.
          negative impact of the development; or
      (i) impacts on infrastructure provisions.       There is no       additional   impacts   on
                                                      infrastructure.

Given the above, the proposed change to the existing approval is a minor change in accordance
with Schedule 2 of the Planning Act 2016 and Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment Rules.

Deciding the Request

In accordance with S81 of The Planning Act 2016, Council must only consider the information
provided and any other matter considered relevant, including — all matters Council would or may
assess against or have regard to, if the change application were a development application.

Council must only consider the statutory instrument, or other document, as in effect when the
development application for the development approval was properly made. However, may give
weight they consider appropriate, in the circumstances, to—



(a)   the statutory instrument or other document as in effect when the change application was
      made (Superseded Planning Scheme); or
(b)   if the statutory instrument or other document is amended or replaced after the change
      application is made but before it is decided—the amended or replacement instrument or
      document; or
(c)   another statutory instrument—
      (i) that comes into effect after the change application is made but before it is decided; and
      (ii) that the responsible entity would have been required to consider if the instrument had
      been in effect when the development application for the development approval was properly
      made.



In accordance with the above the proposal is assessed against the conditions of approval and the
Noosa Plan 2020. The site is currently located within the Low Density Residential Zone under The
Noosa Plan 2020 and the existing approval included 27 conditions.
