Dear Sir/Madam

CHANGE APPLICATION (MINOR CHANGE)—BP NOOSAVILLE, 52 AND 54 MARY
STREET, NOOSAVILLE ON LAND NOW DESCRIBED AS LOT 21 SP322770—CHANGES
TO CONDITIONS RELATING TO HOURS AND ADVERTISING DEVICES
Our clients, PKA GROUP PTY LTD A.C.N. 652 564 675 and PAUL WESSEL PTY LTD
A.C.N. 111 454 276, seek to change the existing approval over the abovementioned site
pursuant to s78 (Making a change application) of the Planning Act 2016 (Act). The Act
allows a person to apply to change a development approval after the applicant’s appeal
period has ended. An application to change a development approval is referred to as a
‘change application’.
We consider that the change application request would meet the test for a ‘minor’ change
set out in Schedule 2 of the Act and as such would be a minor change assessed in
accordance with s81 of the Act. The change application relates to Council’s Development
Permit—dated 18 December 2019, subsequently confirmed via a ‘Generally in accordance’
(GIA) letter from Noosa Council dated 8 July 2021—MCU19/0089 & OPW19/0160 refer).
The requested changes—
(1)   would not result in ‘substantially different development’;
(2)   would not include any prohibited development;
(3)   would not introduce impact assessment where the application was previously code;
(4)   would not introduce new grounds for assessment by a referral agency; and,
(5)   would not introduce a new or additional referral agency.
The remainder of this letter explains the changes and the grounds for Council to approve
the changes.
