 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




scheme. Consequently, conditions 48 and 50 will be retained as amended with condition 53
also being retained.


Minor Change
This change application is made pursuant to section 78 of the Planning Act 2016 and the
definition of a ‘minor change’ is provided under Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment
Rules. Having regard to the definition of a minor change, the proposed changes to the
conditions of the approval will not result in a ‘substantially different development’.


Having regard to Schedule 1, the following comments are made:
   (a) the changes do not involve a new use;
   (b) do not result in the application applying to a new parcel of land;
   (c) do not dramatically changes the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance;
   (d) the changes will not affect the ability of the proposed development to operate as
        intended;
   (e) does not remove a component that is integral to the operation of the development;
   (f) will not have any significant impacts on traffic flow and the transport network, such as
        increasing traffic to the site;
   (g) will not introduce new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts;
   (h) does not remove an incentive or offset component that would have balanced a
        negative impact of the development; and
   (i) will not impact on infrastructure provisions.


Having regard to the above, the proposed development will not be substantially different.
Further, having regard to the other matters under the definition of a minor change, the
changes being made are considered minor.


Conclusion
In summary, the revised site plan and proposed changes to the conditions of approval means
that the changed development will comply with the development standards set out in Noosa
Plan 2006, including with regard to koala movement, stormwater and bushfire management.


It is apparent also that the changed development, if approved, will provide significant
environment benefits in respect of koala conservation that are not reflected in the existing
approval.
