PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                  6 MARCH 2018


2.3. Surrounding Land Uses
The site is centrally located in the Noosaville Business Centre zone. Villa Noosa Hotel and Dan
Murphy’s adjoin the site to the west, while the Gibson Road retail shopping precinct is located to
the south-east of the site and residences to the south-west. Medical type uses are located to the
north of the site.
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 additional
     floor area is minimal and changes largely relate to minor improvements to the centre;
   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 mattes prescribed by regulation;
   where the original application was code assessable, the change would not cause the
     application to become impact assessable.
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:
