4.2.     Assessment of This Change Application

In assessing this Change Application, Council as its assessment manager must consider that planning
scheme as in effect when the original development application was properly made (S81 of Planning Act
2016). This change application refers to this planning scheme as the originating planning scheme above.
The Act also provides for Council to be able to give appropriate weight to, among other things, the
planning scheme when the change application was made which is the current version of the Noosa Plan
2020.

The site is currently included in the Visitor Accommodation Zone in the Noosa Heads Local Plan Area
under the Noosa Plan 2020.

The following comments are offered in relation to the assessment of this change application:

   (a)      This change application proposes a detached dwelling to be located totally within the metes and
            bounds of the premises (i.e. Lot 3 on GTP1154). The proposed boundary setbacks above
            ground level are not too dissimilar to those boundary setbacks for the existing dwelling and
            acknowledge that the premises is on a standard format lot in a community titles scheme with
            frontage to common property limited to the existing driveway. It is also relevant that the western
            boundary of the premises and site are defined by an existing 2m. concrete block wall.

   (b)      The proposal is to establish a dwelling on the site that complies with the definition of a dwelling
            in the Noosa Plan 2020.

   (c)      The site and premises are in the Tourist Accommodation Zone and the Hastings Street Mixed
            Use Precinct under the Noosa Plan 2020 and the proposed continuation of the existing dwelling
            use is consistent with the land use preferences in the Noosa Plan 2020 for the site.

   (d)      The premises is not visible from the surrounding road network being either Hastings Street or
            Noosa Drive nor from the beachfront or riverfront. The premises is not located within 10 metres
            of the Hastings St or Noosa Drive.

   (e)      The maximum building height of the proposed new dwelling does not exceed 15m above
            ground level.

   (f)      The only common property within the scheme land that the premises fronts is that containing
            the driveway and as such the premises does not front the public walkway through the site.

   (g)      The proposed external building fabric maintains a mixture of lightweight and textured external
            building materials that are in context with the existing original dwellings within the site and the
            Noosa Plan 2020.

   (h)      The existing car parking space has been retained on ground level. The proposed changes do
            not impact on access to/from and/or maneouvring associated with other parking spaces
            including those used by guests, visitors, staff, or parking spaces for people with disabilities or
            access by service vehicles and the like, as required by the current Noosa Plan 2020.
