from such operations, provided that sales space does not exceed 20% of the use area. Any space
dedicated for administration or accounting work in connection with such operations does not exceed
20% of the use area”. Furthermore, Type 1 Industrial Business (Warehouse) is defined as “the use of
premises for the storage of goods, merchandise or materials in large stocks (whether or not such
storage is required for an adjoining shop or other commercial premises), pending their distribution or
wholesale. The use includes a warehouse or self-storage facility”. In this respect the proposed Reece
HVAC-R warehouse and trade branch is described as Industrial business type 1.

Lot 1 of the Noosa Metro Innovation Park plans comprises of approved build A. The proposal seeks to
modify approved building A to accommodate the proposed Reece HVAC-R warehouse and trade
branch. This involves the amendment of the approved 4 tenancy building into a single tenancy.
Notwithstanding the proposed Reece HVAC-R warehouse and trade branch does not result in
substantially different development. In particular:

       The proposal presents a single storey form with an internal mezzanine consistent with the
        approval;
       The site cover is maintained at 45.2% which is consistent with the approved 45.7%;
       Maintains a building form positioned along the southern boundary consistent with the
        existing approval;
       The proposal maintains the 5m setback for fire compliance to the rear boundary;
       Provides 18 on site car parking spaces consistent with the approval and requirements under
        the scheme of 1 space per 50sqm of use area;
       Provides for a front setback of 1.8m- 3.9m facilitating a landscape buffer of typically greater
        than 2.0m to the front boundary. The proposed setback will complement surrounding
        setback pattern and allow for soft landscaping to the street frontage; and
       Provides for a built form outcome that will integrate with the character of the surrounding
        development including the use of varied sloping roof forms.


With respect to the front setback, the buildings constructed on Lots 3 & 4 consists of front setbacks of
4.2m, thus the site will have a front setback that is complementary to the other lots that have already
been constructed on the same side of the street.

Reference is made to the pre-lodgement meeting held with Council on the 29 July 2017 in which
Council identified ‘in principle’ support for the proposal under a Change Application.

    2. Compliance with the Planning Act 2016

The changes to the development approval outlined in the above section are identified as meeting the
benchmark for a minor change to development approval in accordance with Schedule 2 of the
Planning Act 2016, given that the change:

        (i) Would not result in a substantially different development – The proposed changes to the
        design as described above do not result in a substantially different development having
        regard to the matters section in Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment rules. In
        particular, the changes do not result in the following:

    (a) Involve a new use – The proposed changes do not involve a new use with different or
        additional impacts.

(b) Results in the application applying to a new parcel of land – The proposed changes do not
    result in the application applying to a new parcel of land.

(c) Dramatically changes the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance – The proposed
    changes do not dramatically change the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance.
    Specifically:

             The proposed changes are limited to changing the building from 4 tenancies to a
            single tenancy;

            The site cover will remain consistent with the approved plans as well as the position
            of the building form within the site;

            The site will have generally consistent setbacks from the approval to the front, rear
            and side boundaries;

             The site will also present the same height and footprint as the approval; and

            The site will also provide an architectural form that is generally consist with the
            approval with some minor changes to accommodate the operational requirements
            of Reece.

(d) Changes the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended – The proposed
    changes do not change the ability of the proposal to operate as intended.

(e) Removes a component that is integral to the operation of the development – The proposed
    changes do not result in the removal of any component that is integral to the operation of
    the development.

(f) Significantly impacts on traffic flow and the transport network, such as increasing traffic to
    the site – The scale of the changes generally consists with the approval. Therefore the
    proposed on-site car parking provision is the same as the approved plans thus not creating
    any impacts on traffic flow and the transport network, such as increasing traffic to the site.

(g) Introduces new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts – The proposed changes
    do not introduce new impacts as the use of the proposal is consistent with the approved
    plans.

(h) Removes an incentive or offset component that would have balanced a negative impact of
    the development – The proposed changes do not remove any incentive or offset component.

(i) Impacts on infrastructure provisions– The proposal will not impact on infrastructure
    provision, location or demand with the scale of the proposal generally consistent with the
    approval.

    (ii) If a development application for the development, including the change, were made
    when the change application is made would not cause—

                  (A) The inclusion of Prohibited development in the application – The application
                      does not involve Prohibited Development.

                  (B) Referral to a referral agency, other than to the chief executive, if there were
                      no referral agencies for the development application– The changes would not
                      cause referral to a referral agency.

                  (C) Referral to extra referral agencies, other than to the chief executive – The
                      changes would not cause referral to a referral agency.

                  (D) A referral agency to assess the application against, or have regard to, matters
                      prescribed by regulation under section 55(2), other than matters the referral
                      agency must have assessed the application against, or have had regard to,
                      when the application was made– The changes would not cause referral to a
                      referral agency.

                  (E) Public notification if public notification was not required for the development
                      application– The original application underwent public notification.

In view of the above, the proposed changes to the design meet the benchmark for a minor change to
a development approval as detailed in the Planning Act 2016.

There were no referrals from the original approval. Thus pursuant to section 80 of the Planning Act
2016, a copy of this request is not required to be provided to any referral agencies.
