               •      State Planning Policy;
               •      South East Queensland Regional Plan;
               •      Planning Regulation 2017; and
               •      The Noosa Plan 2020.
               3.2. Statutory Process
               The applicant has requested to make a minor change to a development approval under s78 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 requested by the applicant is determined to
               constitute a minor change on the grounds that:
               •      the development would not result in substantially different development and retains its
                      existing land use being that of a dwelling house;
               •      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.
               3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
               The original application was lodged and assessed under the now superseded Town Planning
               Scheme 1990. The Planning Act 2016 requires minor change applications to be assessed against
               the planning scheme in effect at the time of the original application (Town Planning Scheme 1990),
               however Council may give weight to the planning scheme in effect at the time of the minor change
               application being lodged (Noosa Plan 2020).
               The subject site was zoned Special Facilities (10 Group Title Houses as shown on Plan of
               Development No. 16) and was within the Sand Dune Problem Area under Town Planning Scheme
               1990. Under Noosa Plan 2020, the site is zoned Low Density Residential and is within the Coastal
               Communities Local Plan area. A Dwelling House/Unit was a consent development (consistent use)
               on this site under the original scheme and is a consistent use under the current planning scheme.


               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      Low Density Residential Zone Code;
               •      Low Density Housing Code;
               •      Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Overlay Code.
