Minor Change Report 132004.240137.1 (As Published)

               •    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.
               2.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
               The original application was lodged and assessed under the now superseded 1985 planning
               scheme (Strategic Plan). Pursuant to s81 of the Planning Act 2017, Council must consider the
               planning scheme in effect when the original development application was lodged, however Council
               may give weight to Noosa Plan 2020 as the planning scheme in effect at the time of the minor
               change application being lodged.
               The following codes from Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      Tourist Accommodation Zone Code;
               •      Noosa Heads Local Plan Code;
               •      Visitor Accommodation Code;
               •      Works Codes;

               The proposed amalgamation of 2 rooms raises no concerning noting:
                  • Works are internal.
                  • The use remains consistent with existing state approval and Tourist Accommodation zone.
                  • No increase in car parking required.
                  • Nature of works does not trigger assessment against overlays noting an exemption
                      certificate has already been provided for Flood Hazard Overlay.
               The works require the insertion of additional condition 18, to read as follows:
               Additional Condition 30 April 2024
                      18. Works to amalgamate rooms 605 and 607 are to be undertaken in accordance with plan
                          1.09.01.01 DM Demolition Plan dated 5 March 2025, prepared by Mitchell and Eades.

               3.2. Internal Council Referrals
               Not applicable
               4.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The proposed development generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme and
               does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
               conditions. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
               The report is provided in accordance with Section 83(9) of the Planning Act 2016.
