Minor Change Report 51993 564 01 [As Published] · 51993.564.01

               3.2. 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 development
                      does not introduce a new use and the proposed alterations are generally minor;
               •      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 matters prescribed by regulation;
               •      where the original application was code assessable, the change would not cause the
                      application to become impact assessable.
               3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
               The original development approval issued for the duplex dwelling was assessed against the
               requirements of the 1990 Planning Scheme. This change application is assessed under the 1990
               Planning Scheme with regard given to the planning scheme in effect, the Noosa Plan 2020.
               Condition 1
               1.     Submission to and approval by Council of building plans in accordance with the Building Act,
                      Council's By-laws and Policies, the conditions of this approval and substantially in
                      accordance with plans SDO1A and the Shire of Noosa Planning Scheme apart from where
                      amendments are required or dispensations have been granted in conjunction with this
                      approval.
               Applicant’s Request
               The applicant has requested that the proposed plans prepared by Suncoast Building Design be
               included in the approval as approved plans.
               Assessment of Request
               Alterations and Additions – Ground Floor Reconfiguration
               The development proposes to make alterations to the ground floor level of the dwelling. The
               proposed alterations involve extensions to the ground floor bedroom, reconfiguring the bedroom,
               kitchen, and entry area, and then converting the existing double garage into a new sitting room.
               At the time of the application, the subject land was in the Residential Low Density Zone (RL), and
               development for the purpose of a Duplex dwelling was “Consent Development’. The development
               generally complied with the requirements specified in the Planning Scheme for and subsequently,
               the proposed changes generally comply with the relevant requirements of the planning scheme.
               The subject land is currently in the Medium Density Residential Zone under the Noosa Plan 2020
               and the development is considered a Dual Occupancy which is code assessable. The development
               generally complies with the relevant Acceptable Outcomes of the Medium Density Residential
               Zone Code and the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code.
               The proposed alteration will not result in a setback that is less than what is existing and is not
               expected to cause an adverse impact on resident amenity. While the proposed garage conversion
               to a living area and extensions to the northern bedroom wall will marginally increase the site cover,
               the additions will not increase the maximum population density of the site or cause an exceedance
               to the maximum site cover of both the 1990 Planning Scheme and the Noosa Plan 2020.
