Letter to Noosa Council - 20 Mitti Street

 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




The changes being made do not affect the proposed access and services easement for Lot 1. Further,
it is understood that the applicant has demonstrated that there is adequate onsite maneuvering for
vehicles to enter and leave both allotments in a forward gear and pass one another should that be
necessary; however, in my opinion, this is unlikely given the existing sight lines that are available.

Pursuant to the definition of part (a) of a ‘minor change’ under the Planning Act 2016, the proposal
will not result in a substantially different development under Schedule 1 of the Development
Assessment Rules (i). Further, if the application was remade including the change would not cause any
of the circumstances listed as (A) to (E) under part (ii). Consequently, the proposed development is a
‘minor change’.
