191014 Minor Change Application

              •    The proposed dwelling will be the first PassivHaus built in Noosa and represents the
                   future of sustainable dwellings in this area;
              •    The proposal will be otherwise generally consistent with the approved development.

              The proposed changes will remain consistent with the approved Material Change of Use
              and does not seek any additional aspects of development.

              We consider the proposed change is a “Minor Change” to the original Development Permit.
              We make this request to change a development approval under Section 81 in that it
              constitutes a minor change under the provisions of the Act.

              A minor change means a change that for a development approval
                 1) would not result in substantially different development; and
                 2) if a development application for the development, including the change, were
                    made when the change application is made would not cause—
                         a. the inclusion of prohibited development in the application; or
                         b. referral to a referral agency, other than to the chief executive, if there
                            were no referral agencies for the development application; or
                         c. referral to extra referral agencies, other than to the chief executive; or
                         d. a referral agency to assess the application against, or have regard to,
                            matters prescribed by regulation under section 55(2), other than matters
                            the referral agency must have assessed the application against, or have
                            had regard to, when the application was made; or
                         e. public notification if public notification was not required for the
                            development application.

              Our assessment of the above is as follows:

              In relation to point (1), the proposal would not constitute substantially different development.
              Substantially different development is outlined in Schedule 1 of the Development
              Assessment Rules under the Planning Act 2016 as follows:

                   1) A change may be considered to result in a substantially different development if
                      the proposed change:
                          a) involves a new use; or
                          b) results in the application applying to a new parcel of land; or
                          c) dramatically changes the built form in terms of scale, bulk and
                             appearance; or
                          d) changes the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended;
                             or
                          e) removes a component that is integral to the operation of the development;
                             or
                          f) significantly impacts on traffic flow and the transport network, such as
                             increasing traffic to the site; or
