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:
• State Planning Policy;
• South East Queensland Regional Plan;
• Planning Regulation 2017; and
• Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020).
3.2. 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 proposal does
not:
o involve a new use; or
o result in the application applying to a new parcel of land; or
o dramatically change the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance; or
o change the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended; or
o remove a component that is integral to the operation of the development; or
o significantly impact on traffic flow and the transport network, such as increasing traffic
to the site; or
o introduce new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts; or
o remove an incentive or offset component that would have balanced a negative impact
of the development; or
o impact on infrastructure provisions.
• 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.
3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The original application was lodged and assessed under the now superseded 1990 Planning
Scheme. Pursuant to s81 of the Planning Act 2017, Council must consider the planning scheme in
effect when the original development application was lodged, however Council may give weight to
Noosa Plan 2020 as the planning scheme in effect at the time of the minor change application
being lodged.
The following codes from Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
• Medium Density Residential Zone Code;
• Noosa Heads Local Plan Code;
• Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Use Code;
• Works Codes;
• Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code.

Existing Condition 1
1. Submission to and approval by Council of building plans in accordance with the Building Act,
council’s By-laws and Policies, the conditions of this approval and substantially in
accordance with plans 91036-DD01/06 dated December 1991 and the Shire of Noosa
Planning Scheme apart from where amendments are required, or dispensations have been
granted in conjunction with this approval.
Applicant’s Request
The applicant has requested the development permit be amended to include the revised plans, as
follows:
The proposed minor change application seeks approval to make additions and alterations to
Unit 11 described as Lot 6 on GTP3209. The additions and alterations involve increasing the
size of an upper level deck with a roof over. The proposed new deck will have dimensions of
5.048m x 4.7m (23.72m2) and will allow sufficient spaces for outdoor living opportunities and
enhance the overall liveability of the unit. The proposed deck will increase the size of the
existing deck by 11.6m2 or 0.28% of the site area.
The proposed alterations and additions will improve the layout of the unit by providing a more
open and spacious floor plan, as well as providing an overall enhancement of the liveability
of the unit.
Site Cover
The extension increases the development’s total site coverage, an increase of 11.6m2.
The planning report for the original development approval does not indicate the total site cover of
the proposal. Desktop analysis of the current aerial of the site indicates site cover at approximately
38.66%.
With the site achieving an area of 2,704.73m2 and the proposed extension being 11.6m2, the
proposed development achieves a site coverage of 39.1%.
Overlooking
Due to the offset design of the units, the deck extension has the potential to result in overlooking
of the northern unit’s area of private open space. The design includes a solid wall for a length of
2.6 metres, with the remaining 2 metres unscreened. Consistent with Acceptable Outcome AO20
of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code, the remaining 2 metres is to include fixed external
screen devices, refer to “Council Annotation” on the approved plan set.
Assessment of Request
The proposed works are solely within Lot 6 GTP 3209, the additional works are supported.
Accordingly, a new condition will be included which will detail the above table as the set of plans
associated with the change sought to unit 11 via this application, the condition will include reference
to the annotation detailed above. In this regard condition 1 will remain unchanged.
