                                        amalgamated. The redevelopment consisted of existing villas to be removed
                                        and replaced with one building. This resulted in additional site cover of 33.6m2
                                        and GFA of 44m2. The approval was subsequently appealed by submitters,
                                        with minor changes to the proposal plans later agreed to by submitters.

                                        approval for a redevelopment of Unit 3. The approval consisted of an additional
                                        increase in floor area by 68.4m² to a total GFA for the unit of 151m². The
                                        approval also permitted the development to change from a 3 storey to a 4
                                        storey building, plus a roof terrace.

                                        to a total GFA for the unit of 156m². The approval also permitted the
                                        development to change from a 3 storey to a 4 storey building, plus a roof
                                        terrace.

               3.      ASSESSMENT
               3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
               statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
               •       State Planning Policy;
               •       South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017;
               •       Planning Regulation 2017; and
               •       The Noosa Plan 2020.
               3.2. Statutory Process
               The applicant has requested to make a minor change to a development approval under s78 of the
               Planning Act 2016. An application for a minor change to a development approval can only be made
               in circumstances where a change would constitute a ‘minor change’.
               The proposed change to the development approval requested by the applicant is determined to
               constitute a minor change on the grounds that:
               •       the development would not result in substantially different development as the use is not
                       changing and is well within the maximum permissible GFA and site cover for the site;
               •       the change does not include prohibited development;
               •       the change would not require the application to be referred to an additional referral agency
                       or cause a referral agency to have regard to new matters prescribed by regulation;
               •       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 original application was lodged under the 1973 Planning Scheme and must be assessed under
               that planning scheme, but Council may have regard to the current Noosa Plan 2020.
               The subject site is located in the Noosa Heads Local Plan Area and is to be assessed against (but
               not limited to) the Noosa Heads Local Plan Code and the Tourist Accommodation Code. The most
               relevant outcomes under Noosa Plan 2020 are discussed below.

                                                                                                           Page 11 of 22
