87       Assessing and deciding extension applications

(1)   When assessing an extension application, the assessment manager may consider any matter
      that the assessment manager considers relevant, even if the matter was not relevant to
      assessing the development application.

In this case it is considered the relevant matters is the planning scheme in force at the time of the
original approval, The Noosa Plan 2006 and Noosa Plan 2020.

The original application was approved under the Transitional Planning Scheme and given an
extension was granted in 2009, was deemed to comply with The Noosa Plan 2006 with some minor
changes to the approved plans.

The previous extension to the relevant period given was assessed against The Noosa Plan 2006 and
it was determined to be consistent with the requirements of that planning scheme.

The main issues identified were in relation to site cover, setbacks and roof pitch. Since the previous
change was approved, the Noosa Plan 2020 has come into effect and therefore an assessment
against the Medium Density Zone Code and the Low Density Housing Code in relation to the above
matters is provided below.

An assessment of each of the issues raised under the previous extension to currencies which are
summarised below:
