Generally In Accordance Report MCU21/0150.02 [As Published]

                      The initially approved primary dwelling is not being constructed and may not be built in the
                      foreseeable future. Instead, the client plans to construct the secondary dwelling (granny flat)
                      at the rear of the property, as depicted on the site plan. This secondary dwelling will now
                      serve as the primary residence. Due to this design alteration, Noosa Council requires a
                      "generally in accordance" lodgement for the revised design. The original secondary dwelling
                      design was for a 1-bedroom unit, whereas the revised design proposes a 2-bedroom dwelling
                      at the rear of the lot, still adhering to the 65m² guidelines.
               2.     BACKGROUND
               A development approval for Material Change of Use – Dwelling House (including secondary
               dwelling) was issued on 22 December 2021. The application triggered due to clearing in the
               riparian buffer of the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay and koala priority area, core
               koala habitat rea.
               3.     ASSESSMENT
               3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to the proposed changes:
               •     Rural Residential Zone Code;
               •     Biodiversity, Waterway and Wetlands Overlay Code;
               •     Bushfire Hazard Overlay Codes;
               •     Works Codes.
               The applicant has provided amended plans, revising the design of the secondary dwelling.
               The dwelling will remain within the approved cleared area, and compliant with all accepted
               development benchmarks.
               The applicant has relayed that the intent is for the “approved secondary dwelling” to function as
               the primary dwelling for the unforeseeable future, in the event the landholder decides to proceed
               with the construction of the approved primary dwelling, the dwelling will revert to a secondary
               dwelling as it maintains compliance with the relevant outcomes.
               The development is considered generally in accordance with the development permit.

               5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The changes are considered minor and are in keeping with the approval and can be considered
               generally in accordance with the approval. The proposed development generally complies with the
               requirements of the planning scheme and does not raise any significant issues that cannot be
               addressed by reasonable and relevant conditions. The generally in accordance request is therefore
               recommended for approval.
