Minor Change Report 51901.25.01 (As Published)

               The new roof area will remove the existing curved roof area shown in Figure 3, which is to be
               replaced by standard pitched roofing as shown in Figure 5.
               The proposed changes to the roof line are necessary to remedy urgent maintenance issues. The
               proposed new roof replaces existing roof and also adds pergolas, which are not considered to be
               site cover.
               Under performance outcome PO17 of the Major Centre Zone Code, there is no prescriptive site
               cover requirement. Consistent with this performance outcome, the proposed changes will not alter
               the scale of the development with no increase in gross floor area. The built form will remain
               compatible in this location. There is no increase in plot ratio (PO18) and no increase in the building
               height (PO16).
               In summary, the proposed changes to the ramp and stairs will improve pedestrian accessibility
               consistent with current standards. Once the reinstatement planting is established within the road
               reserve and near the frontage, the development will maintain and enhance the existing streetscape
               appearance.
               The other changes will improve the pedestrian entry areas to the offices by providing some soft
               landscaping, seating, consistent paving and new pergolas providing some weather protection. The
               internal changes to these entry areas will also resolve current water ingress issues. The changes
               required to the roofing will also rectify other maintenance issues without increasing the scale, bulk
               and form of the building.


               Assessment of Request
               The requested changes to the roof treatments includes a marginal increase of site cover and
               changes to roof form from curved to skillion.
               Performance Outcome PO17 of the Zone Code does not quantify the maximum site coverage
               permitted, PO17 reads as - PO17 The site cover and plot ratio of buildings and other roofed
               structures:
                    a) is of a scale that is compatible with surrounding development;
                    b) does not present an appearance of bulk to adjacent properties, roads or other areas in the
                       vicinity of the site;
                    c) maximises the retention of              existing vegetation and   allows    for   additional soft
                       landscaping between buildings;
                    d) where including residential development, allows for adequate area at ground level for
                       outdoor recreation and other site facilities; and
                    e) facilitates onsite stormwater management and vehicular access; and
                    f)   at the Noosa Business Centre in the High density residential precinct site cover:
                            i.    does not exceed 40% of the site area; or
                           ii.    for small dwellings or for development which provides a ratio of at least three small
                                  dwellings to any other one dwelling, site cover does not exceed 45% of
                                  the site area.
               The extent of changes is considered acceptable as:
                    •    The proposed extension relates to the replacement and extension of a pergola on the upper
                         level of the development.
                    •    The extension will utilise a polycarbonate roof which will continue to allow for light to
                         landscaping spaces.
                    •    The roof treatments changes include variation through a staggered skillion roof form.
                    •    The proposed changes are comparable to adjoining development densities.
                    •    Existing inground vegetation will remain unimpacted.
