PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                9 NOVEMBER 2021


The following codes from the Noosa Plan are applicable to this development:
     Noosa Heads Local Plan Code;
     Tourist Accommodation Zone Code
     Business Activities Code;
     Works Codes.
8.2. 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 built form of
      the development and land uses remain consistent with the existing approval;
     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.
8.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The subject site is located within the Tourist Accommodation Zone under the current Noosa Plan.
The Noosa Plan identifies a Multiple dwelling as an impact consistent use in the Tourist
Accommodation zone. The uses located within the Resort Facilities Building are also identified as
impact consistent under The Noosa Plan.
Condition 2
Applicant’s Request
We request that condition 2 is updated to reflect the amended Architectural package for the
Facilities Building which includes minor changes to the enclose the existing Facilities Building. The
changes include the enclosure of the existing roofed Outdoor Dining Area with sealed airlock
openings, making the existing dining area a dual operable space as both indoor/outdoor dining
area for the restaurant component in accordance with the updated Noise Management Plan. The
changes include minor adjustments to the internal fit-out of the use areas. The changes include:
     Enclosure of the outdoor dining area (187m2), to enable its use as a dual operable dining
      space for both indoor and outdoor dining in accordance with the Noise Management Plan.
     Relocation of the existing Convenience Store (Shop) to the previous Pizza Oven location and
      reduction of the use area by 5m2.
     Relocation of the Pizza Oven to the current Convenience Store Area and the current
      Convenience Store GFA has been reallocated to the Café/Restaurant use (21m2)
     Multi-Function Room will be used for cooking classes (no change in GFA - 71m2)
     The changes result in a very minor addition of GFA (18m2). There is no change to the existing
      impervious area.
Assessment of Request
The proposed built form associated with the works raises no concerns as its form is consistent with
the originally approved plans. The minor increase to GFA is supported as the total amount of GFA
still remains less than what was originally approved. Notably the extent of use area has not
changed and accordingly there is no increased requirement for car parking.
Accordingly, it is recommended that Condition 2 be amended to reflect the updated plans set.

                                                                                      Page 30 of 69
