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

       land; or
   (c) dramatically changes the                  The built form and appearance is only marginally
       built form in terms of scale,             changing and complies with the Noosa Plan
       bulk and appearance; or                   parameters, with the scale not dramatically
                                                 changing. There is a small net increase to site cover
                                                 of less than 0.34% (overall) and 140m² of GFA, a
                                                 small increase overall considering the site has a
                                                 maximum GFA of 5,680m² and this proposal
                                                 increases the total GFA on site below the maximum.
                                                 While the bulk of the building is different from the
                                                 original dwellings, these original dwellings are
                                                 progressively being demolished and replaced with
                                                 contemporary      dwellings.    This    design     is
                                                 commensurate with the new built form onsite, one
                                                 being directly adjoining the subject GTP.
