PROPOSAL
The applicant seeks approval to change to an existing development approval to vary the external appearance of the buildings. The main change relates to the reduction of the roof pitch from 8 to 1 degrees and the reduction in the extent of eaves. The front façade of the building is also changing. The following elevation plans detail the approved and proposed development elevations.

Figures 1 and 2: Approved elevation plans

Figures 3 and 4: Proposed elevation plans

The applicant advises:
The changes proposed relate to an amended design and building materials.
The proposal includes amendments to the approved façade and roof design to facilitate the development of a 9 Star Energy Rated Duplex;
The proposed minor change involves a lower pitched roof to enable the design elements required to achieve a 9 Star Energy Rating;
The proposed changes to the façade are minor and consist primarily of changes to the screening addressing the street;
The proposed dwelling is referred to as a PassivHaus, which are designed to create a completely air-tight environment which then use a ventilation system to control air quality, temperature and humidity;
The proposed building includes double glazing glass, Energy Recovery Ventilation, and higher levels of insulation compared to built to code homes;
PassivHaus designs are highly energy efficient and significantly reduce building emissions, achieving 90% energy reduction. As such, these homes will be almost energy neutral.
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
background
A development approval for a Development Permit for Material Change of Use - Multiple Housing - Type 2 Duplex) was issued on 1 August 2020.

Instruments for Statutory Assessment
Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
State Planning Policy;
South East Queensland Regional Plan;
Planning Regulation 2017;
The Noosa Plan.
The following codes from the Noosa Plan are applicable to this development:
Noosa Heads Locality Code
Residential Uses Code
Landscaping Code
Engineering Works Code
Statutory Process
The applicant has requested to make a minor change to a development approval under s78 of the Planning Act 2016. An application for a minor change to a development approval can only be made in circumstances where a change would constitute a ‘minor change’.
The proposed change to the development approval requested by the applicant is determined to constitute a minor change on the grounds that:
the development would not result in substantially different development as the footprint, form and yield of the development is generally consistent with the original approval;
the change does not include prohibited development;
the change would not require the application to be referred to an additional referral agency or cause a referral agency to have regard to new mattes prescribed by regulation;
where the original application was code assessable, the change would not cause the application to become impact assessable.
Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
Roof form and eaves:
When the original application was assessed the proposed roof form and extent of eaves required modification to better align with the relevant provisions of the planning scheme. Since that time the draft planning scheme has advanced to the point, at the state awaiting signoff, where it can be seriously entertained in the assessment of applications.
In this regard, the roof form provisions within the draft planning scheme remove the previous roof form and eave requirements.
Whilst the pitch of the roof form has been significantly reduced it is noted that the roof of the building is provided over two separate plans and therefore when viewed from the street the rear roof form is visible and provides for variation and visual interest.
The proposed changes result in the need to vary Condition 2 which relates to the approved plan set. The condition is to be varied from:

draft planning scheme
Under the draft planning scheme the site is to be zoned Medium Density Residential. A duplex development is a consistent code assessable use which is the same as the current planning scheme. The draft scheme has amended the requirements for eave and roof form so that a minimum 5 degree roof pitch and 600mm eaves are no longer required. The amendment to the plans relate to the minor alteration of the buildings appearance, roof form and eaves, it is noted that the proposed changes comply with this aspect of the scheme.
cONSULTATION
Referral Agencies
The application was not required to be referred to any referral agencies.
conclusion & reasons for decision
This minor change application seeks to amend the roof form and appearance of the building by way of reducing the roof pitch to a maxim of 1 degree and removing the extent of eaves. The proposed changes generally accord with the approved plans (no increase in gfa or site cover) and the amendment to the roof form and eaves is noted to comply with the draft planning scheme.
