Minor Change Report 51901.3589.05 [As Published]

               •   The unit will still meet the definition of a dwelling and under the Noosa Plan 2020 as the
                   spaces do not each contain food preparation facilities, a bath or shower, wash basin and
                   facilities for washing clothes, with only a single laundry on the ground floor.
               • The walls at each stair landing have been removed so that it can not be enclosed at any floor
                   level.
               The proposal to amalgamate the units is consistent with the High Density Residential Zone Code
               to provide for higher density multiple dwellings in a range of dwelling sizes and styles. The
               applicant has made some minor modifications to the unit to physically amalgamate the units
               which are limited but considered satisfactory. While 2 kitchens remain in the unit, there is no
               requirement in the scheme that prohibits a dwelling containing 2 kitchens. The retention of 2
               kitchens would also more easily permit the unit to be again modified in the future for use as 2
               units which is desirable.

               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 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
