Cover Letter - Minor Change Application

   +       The storeroom constitutes minor building work with a total area of less than 50m² and will match
           the finished floor level of the existing shop;
   +       The storeroom will remain flood-free during events up to and including the 1% AEP event;
   +       The storeroom is to be constructed as a sealed container, thereby minimising the potential for
           water intrusion; and
   +       The container can be easily cleaned following a flood event, and any goods stored within can be
           elevated above floor level to mitigate potential water damage.


 Heritage Overlay Code




 Figure 7 – Heritage and Character Area Overlay



 The site is located within a mapped Character Area, which includes all buildings fronting Maple Street, as
 illustrated in Figure 7 above.

 It is submitted that the proposal complies with the relevant acceptable and/or performance outcomes of
 the applicable code for the following reasons:

       + The existing character building fronting Maple Street will be retained and protected as part of the
            development;
       +    The proposed extension is modest in scale, located at the rear of the premises, and will not be
            visible from Maple Street. As such, it will remain compatible with the existing setting and the
            valued streetscape character of the area.

appropriately responds to the provisions and intent of both the 1997 Strategic Plan for Noosa and the Noosa
Plan 2020. Overall, it has adequately been demonstrated that the proposed changes comply with the
