Minor Change - Updated Planning Report (25.7.2022) · 51997.2397.03

1.    Summary

RG Strategic has prepared this development application on behalf of Lorraine M. Pickering. The
purpose of this report is to seek approval for a Minor Change Application and an additional to
Decision Notice 51997.2397 (12530 TC). The subject site is located at Unit 2 / 80 Hilton Terrace,
Noosaville and is formally described as Lot 2 on SP120741.

The application seeks approval for the enclosing of the existing covered BBQ area of unit 2.

Noting that while, the original Planning Approval plans do not recognise the roofing of the BBQ area,
the subsequent associated building approval, approved a roof structure over the BBQ area. At the
time of the original approval, the building certification was undertaken by Council and the building
plans were referred to the planning department to ensure they were in accordance with the
planning approval. Therefore, the cover over the BBQ area is deemed to be approved and in
accordance with the planning approval as the building approval was issued.

This report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying covering letter, DA Form and
Appendices. The development is appropriate and is not anticipated to impact upon the amenity of
the locality. Council’s approval of the application is therefore sought, subject to relevant and
reasonable conditions.



2.    Background

• A development approval over Lot 2 RP32784 (12530TC – 51997.2397) for a Material Change of Use
     (Multiple Dwelling Units x 4- Building A) was approved in 1998. Unit 2 is part of this approval.

• A development approval over Lot 1 RP104599 & Lot 2 MCH3930 (11876TC – 51997.2283) for a
     Material Change of Use (Multiple Dwelling Units x 6- Building B) was approved in 1998.

• The above development approvals approved in 1998, related to 3 separate lots at that time.
     These lots were then amalgamated to form Lot 3 SP110328. The survey plan reflects the built form
     – 10 units and common property.

• In 1998 a Building approval was issued for 10 units (combining the 2 planning approvals above).

• An approval for Operational works was approved in 2008 for a pontoon.

• On 28 October 2016 a Generally in Accordance request was issued for Unit 2 (12530TC ) that
     supported some internal reconfiguring of the unit which included a part enclosure of the balcony
     and extension to the bathroom into the courtyard area.

• On 18 November 2021, an application for a minor change to unit 6 to square up the river front
     façade and other internal changes was recommended for refusal by Planning staff to Council,
     but approved by Council citing the minor nature of the development it met the intent of the
     planning scheme.
