                New landscaping across site

Attachment B provides plans of the proposal prepared by Shaun Lockyer Architects. The plans
include a material palette that demonstrates the use of natural materials and colours.
The proposed renovations are required to update and provide a more contemporary home that
takes advantage of the coastal setting whilst creating more usable covered open space as well as
incorporating natural materials and a muted colour palette.



3. COMPLIANCE WITH STATE PLANNING POLICIES
The site is mapped as being located in a Coastal Management District. In accordance with the
Planning Regulation 2017 a Material Change of Use requires referral of the application to the State
where building work is carried out completely or partly in coastal management district that has a
gross floor area of 1000m2 and extracts or fills more than 1000m3. .

The proposal has an overall gross floor area of less than 1000m2 and minimal excavation is
proposed. The proposal does not require referral to the State.

The site does not have a Coastal building line mapped over the premises.



4. ASSESSMENT
The applicant seeks to make a minor change to the existing development approval under Section 78
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 as requested by the applicant is determined to
constitute a minor change on the grounds as detailed in the Planning Act as:

        • the change does not result in a substantially different development as the use is not
           changing;
        • 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 mattes prescribed by
           regulation;
        • the change does not cause the application to become impact assessable.

4.1 Noosa Plan

The proposed alterations have been assessed against the provisions of the Eastern Beaches
locality and the Building Works Code and comply with site cover and height provisions. With regard
to side boundary setbacks the applicant seeks to convert the area currently approved for pool
equipment for use as a pool house with the pool plant to be located externally. These works are
located at the same height and in the same location as the approved pool equipment and will not be
visible to the adjoining site. Additional landscaping is proposed eastward of the structures along the
boundary.
