and Planning), which adopts a ‘report-by-exception’ approach. The planning report only discusses the key issues and
matters where a proposed development does not exactly meet the requirements of, or conflicts with, a planning scheme
or other planning instrument.

2 Site details
2.1 Site description
The site is currently used for the Noosa Heads Surf Life Saving Club, with the Supporter’s Club
activities predominantly upstairs and the active members occupying the ground floor. The forecourt
in the northeast corner of the site is used by active members, with a BBQ area located in the forecourt
predominantly used by Nippers on a Sunday morning for the 750+ junior members and their families.
The BBQ are was previously covered by 2 x 9m2 black shade sails, which were temporarily removed
as part of the 2018 major renovations. The use of the BBQ area is to remain limited to use by
members on Sunday mornings.

3 Proposed development details
The application proposes to replace the shade sails with an 11.8m2 shade frame made with a
stainless-steel frame with PVC varnished roof, with a 5-degree pitch. The roof has been designed
so as not to interfere with the views from the first-floor deck towards the ocean and will be finished
in colours to complement the existing eave over the first floor.

4 Planning assessment
4.1 Minor Change Assessment
An assessment against the meaning of minor change and a response about the proposed application
provided thereafter underlined. The Planning Act 2016 defines a minor change as a change to the
approval that:
i. would not result in a substantially different development*;
(*In determining whether the proposed change would result in substantially different
development, the assessment manager or referral agency must consider the
individual circumstances of the development, in the context of the change proposed.)
A change may be considered to result in a substantially different development if the
proposed change:
- Involves a new use; or
Response: The proposed development does not change the existing surf club use.
- Results in the application applying to a new parcel of land; or
Response: No new parcels of land are applicable.
- Dramatically changes the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance; or
Response: The changes are consistent with the bulk, scale and appearance of the existing
development.
- Changes the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended; or
Response: The site will still be used for lifesaving purposes.
- Removes a component that is integral to the operation of the development; or
Response: There are no components being removed from the development integral to the
operation of the development.
- Significantly impacts on traffic flow and the transport network, such as
increasing traffic to the site; or
Response: No change
- Introduces new impacts or increases the severity of known impacts; or
Response: No new impacts are introduced.
- Removes an incentive or offset component that would have balanced the
negative impact of the development; or
Response: The proposal does not remove an incentive or offset.
- Impacts on infrastructure provisions.
Response: No change.
ii. if a development application for the development, including the change, were made
when the change application is made would not cause—

Page 8
A. the inclusion of prohibited development in the application; or
Response: The change does not include any prohibited development.
B. referral to a referral agency, other than to the chief executive, if there were no
referral agencies for the development application; or
Response: No referral agencies were applicable to the original application.
C. referral to extra referral agencies, other than to the chief executive; or
Response: No referral agencies are applicable to the current development. The site is located
outside of the Coastal Management District.
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; or
Response: The proposed change would not result in the chief executive having to consider
matters additional to those considered when the application was made.
E. public notification if public notification was not required for the development
application.
Response: The change does not require the application to be publicly notified.
Given the above, the proposed change to the existing approval is a minor change in accordance with
Schedule 2 of the Planning Act 2016 and Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment Rules.
Deciding the Request
In accordance with S81 of The Planning Act 2016, Council must only consider the information
provided and any other matter considered relevant, including — all matters Council would or may
assess against or have regard to, if the change application were a development application.
Council must only consider the statutory instrument, or other document, as in effect when the
development application for the development approval was properly made. However, may give
weight they consider appropriate, in the circumstances, to—
(a) the statutory instrument or other document as in effect when the change application was
made (Superseded Planning Scheme); or
(b) if the statutory instrument or other document is amended or replaced after the change
application is made but before it is decided—the amended or replacement instrument or
document; or
(c) another statutory instrument—
(i) that comes into effect after the change application is made but before it is decided;
and
(ii) that the responsible entity would have been required to consider if the instrument
had been in effect when the development application for the development approval
was properly made.

4.2 Key issues
4.2.1 The Noosa Plan 2020
The development is within the existing Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club’s lease area for volunteer
activities and does not decrease the amount of public open space in or around Hastings Street. The
replacement roof will enable volunteers to cook in the shade on the Summer Sunday mornings during
nippers.
The proposed 11m2 shade structure replaces the existing 2 shade sails and is small scale in keeping
with the existing development on the site. The structure is lightweight and fits in with the existing
building. The cover is setback 3.5m from the northern lease boundary and will not impact on views
or adversely affect the experience of visitors to the beach. The roof form will include a minimum 5-
degree pitch and provides for shade to members using the facilities. The cover does not increase
the use area of the lifesaving club and does not trigger any additional carparking requirements.
The scale of the additions are consistent with the recreation needs of the community, locational
characteristics and supporting infrastructure with the BBQ area catering for members on a Sunday
Morning. The cover will allow for shade within the forecourt area for the nipper BBQ area and is
consistent with the requirements of the Recreation and Open Space Code requirements of The
Noosa Plan 2020.
5.0 State assessment and other matters
5.1 State interests
5.1.1 Matters established in the Planning Regulation
Nil
5.1.2 State Planning Policy
The SPP includes assessment benchmarks that may be applicable where a local government
planning scheme does not adequately reflect the SPP. The Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme
appropriately integrates all SPP provisions.
6.0 Conclusion
This application seeks a minor change to the plans of the existing approval 132004.4078 for a cover
to the Nippers BBQ area. The proposed development complies with the definition of a minor change
under Schedule 2 of the Planning Act 2016 and is not substantially different development in
accordance with Schedule 1 of the DA Rules 2017. The assessment finds the proposal respects the
existing development approval and generally meets the relevant statutory instruments including The
Noosa Plan requirements.
The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is
therefore recommended. Please contact me if you require any further information and/or clarification
with respect to the above application.
