Planning Report - Minor Changes Only - Gateway Drive

4.0 Planning assessment
4.1     Pre-lodgement
An informal meeting was undertaken with Council’s development planner in September to discuss
the application requirements for a proposed change to the existing approval.


4.2     Minor Change Assessment
An assessment against the meaning of minor change and a response about the proposed application
provided thereafter underlined. The Planning Act 2016 defines a minor change as a change to the
approval that:

       i. would not result in a substantially different development*;
              (*In determining whether the proposed change would result in substantially different
              development, the assessment manager or referral agency must consider the
              individual circumstances of the development, in the context of the change proposed.)

              A change may be considered to result in a substantially different development if the
              proposed change:

                -   Involves a new use; or

       Response: A new application will be lodged concurrently for the ancillary dwelling units to be
       located within the buildings and both applications shall be considered separately in
       accordance with the planning scheme’s bounded assessment.

                -   Results in the application applying to a new parcel of land; or

       Response: No new parcels of land are applicable.

                -   Dramatically changes the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance; or

       Response: The design is proposed within generally the same building footprint, bulk and
       carparking layout to that previously approved.

                -   Changes the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended; or

       Response: The industrial uses can continue to operate in accordance with the Industry zone
       Outcomes.

                -   Removes a component that is integral to the operation of the development; or

       Response: There are no components being removed from the development integral to the
       operation of the development.

                -   Significantly impacts on traffic flow and the transport network, such as
                    increasing traffic to the site; or

       Response: Sufficient carparkingand traffic flow is maintained to the site in accordance with
       The Noosa Plan requirements.

                -   Introduces new impacts or increases the severity of known impacts; or



                                                                                         Page 7 of 10
