Minor Change Report 51994 1391 01 [As Published] · 51994.1391.01

               2.     BACKGROUND
               A town planning consent for a Multiple Dwelling (5 units) was approved on 15 September 1994. At
               the time of assessment of the original application the development did not comply with the Scheme
               requirements for gross floor area and side boundary setbacks. The gross floor area exceedance
               related to 19m2.
               Condition 2 of the Town Planning Consent detailed that the gross floor area of the building is not
               to exceed the maximum floor area (i.e., 540m2 GFA) and that revised plans were to be submitted
               for building approval.
               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
               •      The Noosa Plan 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 development
                      remains consistent with the original 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.
               3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      High Density Residential Zone Code;
               •      Noosa Heads Local Plan Code;
               •      Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code;
               •      Works Codes;
               •      Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code;
               •      Landslide Hazard Overlay Code.

               The original town planning consent was approved under the 1990 Planning Scheme.
