               2.     BACKGROUND
               A development approval for a Material Change of Use of Premises (Multiple Dwelling – 10 dwelling
               units) was issued on 21 July 2022.
               During the final inspection of the development, it was identified by council officers that there were
               discrepancies and inaccuracies between the as-built construction of several units and the approved
               plans endorsed under the original planning approval. During the final inspection it was also
               identified that overlooking concerns (which had been conditioned), had not been addressed
               appropriately.
               Upon further investigation, it was identified that several design amendments had been made to the
               original plans after council had issued the approval, these changes were reflected in a revised
               drawing set that were issued as part of the building approval, with the plans endorsed through
               private certification.
               As such, the applicant was subsequently advised to make a GIA application to resolve the
               discrepancies and resolve the overlooking issues through the installation of fixed screening
               measures two both units 9 and 10. The screening measures were installed on 10 April 2025 and
               re-inspected by council officers with confirmation provided to the applicant confirming compliance
               with conditions 11 and 12.
               3.     ASSESSMENT
               3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               •      The proposed changes do not require assessment/re-assessment of code provisions
                      pursuant to the Noosa Plan 2020.
               The applicant has provided amended plans that demonstrate all minor amendments to the original
               approved plans. Some of the amended plans, replace existing approved plans while some are in
               addition to the approved plans. In addition, some approved plans are to be deleted due to design
               changes.
               The development is considered generally in accordance with the development permit.
               4.     CONSULTATION

               5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION

               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.
