Instruments for Statutory Assessment
Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
State Planning Policy;
South East Queensland Regional Plan;
Planning Regulation 2017; and
The Noosa Plan 2020.
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 proposal involves internal renovations only;
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.
Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
Medium Density Residential Zone Code;
Noosa Heads Local Plan Code;
Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Use Code;
Works Codes;
Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code.
The planning report for the original development approval does not indicate the total site cover of the proposal. Desktop analysis of the current aerial of the site indicates site cover at approximately 38.66%. The proposed extension to the ensuite will not impact the sites total site cover as it is within the existing footprint of the unit.
Under the 1990 Planning Scheme, gross floor area calculations included staircases, whereas the current scheme Noosa Plan 2020 excludes stairs from GFA calculations. The additional 5.06m2 offsets the existing stairway, which is approximately 8m2. Therefore, the proposed extension does raise a non-compliance with the approved density of development.
