with better designed access to each room and a reduced extent of earthworks and retaining required to establish
the foundations for the building. The changes proposed result in an improved outcome for the site and adjoining
premises with a smaller building footprint and greater mitigation of landslide hazard.


2.    Proposed Changes to Approved Plans
It is requested to make a Minor Change to the approved plans to accommodate revised built form, whilst
maintaining the predominant structure and site layout of the approved development. Please refer to the Revised
Building Design Plans prepared by Clare Design in Attachment 2.

As illustrated in Attachment 2, the proposal maintains the key components of the approved built form, which
includes a contemporary architectural design with a combination of flat and skillion roof forms, three (3) distinct
building levels and a stepped structure that gives the appearance of a single storey Dwelling to the street.

To best illustrate the key differences in the design, a comparative building footprint plan has been prepared and
is available as drawing DA-15 in Attachment 2. This is also provided in Figure 1 below for ease of reference.

As illustrated above, the overall footprint of the development has been reduced, with a more compact structure
proposed that sits centrally within the allotment to reduce the visual impact of the built form when viewed
externally. Further, the site layout provides for a more efficient use of the lot and creates a more open interface
with the public walkway to the north by orientating the private open space areas and structural voids to face
this boundary.

In accordance with Section 81(4) (Assessing Change Application for Minor Changes) of the Planning Act 2016,
Council must consider the change application against the planning scheme that was in effect when the
development application sought to be changed was properly made, which is the Noosa Plan 2006. Table 1 below
provides a comparative analysis of the key development parameters and areas of compliance achieved by both
the approved and proposed outcome when assessed against the Detached House Code of the Noosa Plan 2006.
