       E. public notification if public notification was not required for the development
          application.

       Response: The change does not require the application to be publicly notified.



Given the above, the proposed change to the existing approval is a minor change in accordance
with Schedule 2 of the Planning Act 2016 and Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment Rules


DEVELOPMENT CONSISTENT WITH DEVELOPMENT CODES AND OTHER DECISIONS


In accordance with Section 81 of the Planning Act 2016, the Council must consider as part of its
assessment of the minor change’s application all matters the responsible entity would or may
assess against or have regard to, if the change application were a development application. The
Noosa Plan’s Watercourse Works code is the most relevant matter for assessment.

An assessment against Specific Outcome O5 is provided below:

                                                 boundaries.

                                                 area, as required by condition 1 of the existing
                                                 development approval.

                                                 We have requested a change to condition 1
                                                 to change ‘moored’ to ‘berthed’ to better
                                                 reflect these performance criteria.

                                                 The existing approval for 2600mm setback

                                                 accommodate the berthing of the hire boats,
                                                 however the area is not used for this. Larger

                                                 lease area to ferry terminal or refuel if the
                                                 2600mm setback was achieved.

                                                 It is therefore considered that the temporary
                                                 docking of vessels on the outer pontoon does
                                                 not constitute berthing or mooring.
