    Dear Sir / Madam,

    REQUEST FOR A MINOR CHANGE TO A DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL IN ACCORDANCE
    WITH SECTION 81 OF THE PLANNING ACT 2016 – 132001.210141.1

    MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE – DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR DWELLING HOUSE IN A SAND
    DUNE PROBLEM AREA AND OPERATIONAL WORKS – DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR
    LANDSCAPING AT 9/512 DAVID LOW WAY, CASTAWAYS BEACH DESCRIBED AS LOT 9
    ON SP111721 AND COMMON PROPERTY

    We act on behalf of the Applicant, Richard Fiddis, with respect to the above land.

    In accordance with Section 81 of the Planning Act 2016, we request the Assessment Manager
    responsible for the application make a change to the approval in accordance with the details
    provided below.

    The approval was issued on 6 May 2021 for a Development Permit for Material Change of Use of
    Premises – Dwelling in a Sand Dune Problem Area & Operational Works – Landscaping.

    This Minor Change seeks to amend the approved plans to facilitate changes in the design which
    have been highlighted within the new proposal plans included with this application. The proposed
    changes are minor in nature and represent minimal changes to the overall appearance and
    function of the dwelling.

    The proposed changes are as follows:
    • Enclosure of external deck on ground floor adjacent to the studio;
    • New suspended flat ceiling over dining, kitchen and living area on first floor;
    • Front balcony extension; and
    • Rear rooftop terrace.

    The proposed extensions will not extend further than the approved building envelope and no
    changes to the approved landscaping, setbacks, carparking and site cover are proposed as part of
    this development.

    A copy of the proposed plans has been provided in Attachment 1 for reference.

    Plan of Development

    The subject site is located within the Noosa Dunes (formerly Marcus Dunes) estate and as such is
    subject to the provisions of Plan of Development POD65 – Marcus Dunes Estate, which includes

    mapped ‘Building/yard envelopes’ and ‘Natural vegetation in lots to remain untouched’ on the
    approved plan. A copy of the Marcus Dunes Plan of Development is contained in Attachment 1 for
    reference.

    The Dwelling House maintains a built form generally consistent with the Development Parameters
    within the Plan of Development.

    The front balcony extension is a continuation of the existing third storey envelope and maintains a
    roof form and pitch consistent with the existing. In addition, the topography of the site falls away
    from the street and the existing garage on ground level already contributes a partial third storey.
    Based on the above, the proposed balcony will not be identifiable from the streetscape, will not add
    significant bulk and scale to the building and will maintain a positive contribution to the streetscape.

    Extensive landscaping to the rear obstructs view of the Marcus Dunes Estate when viewed from
    David Low Way.

    Noosa Plan 2020

    A review of the relevant assessment benchmarks is provided in Attachment 3 for reference. From
    our review, the proposal is generally compliant with the Low Density Residential Zone Code and
    the Low Density Housing Code.

    The proposed front balcony extension contributes to a third storey and seeks a performance
    solution against PO7 of the Low Density Residential Zone Code as follows:

    The dwelling presentation to the street is not significantly changed , with the garage forming a
    partial third storey due to the site’s topography. The extensions continue the existing built form
    with a consistent roof pitch and does not add to the gross floor area, which remains at 360m² in
    compliance with the Plan of Development.

    The extensions do not exceed 8m in height and will therefore not overshadow adjoining dwellings.
    The deck is set back 8.5m from the southern boundary and 4.3m from the northern boundary
    which will reduce opportunities for overlooking.

    We note extensive rear landscaping obstructs views from David Low Way.

    The proposed rear rooftop terrace seeks a performance solution against PO16 of the Low Density
    Residential Zone Code as follows:

    Whilst we acknowledge the rear balcony is technically a rooftop terrace it is important to note that it
    is directly accessible from the adjacent habitable rooms and is not a standalone structure on a
    rooftop and therefore, it presents more as a balcony.

    The proposed rooftop terrace is oriented toward the rear of the Dwelling House and will not be
    visible from the streetscape. It maintains an open form and will therefore not create and
    overbearing structure. Access to natural sunlight and breezes will be maintained for adjoining
    dwellings. In addition, the terrace is setback 5.8m from the southern boundary and 7.8m from the
    northern boundary and there is extensive landscaping to reduce overlooking. On this basis there
    will be no overlooking and overshadowing and thus residential amenity and privacy is maintained.

                                                                                             [email protected]

    Following initial prelodgemnt advice form Council, the area of the rooftop terrace has been reduced
    from 44m² to approximately 26m², with a 1500mm wide planter box to further minimise overlooking.

    We consider the proposed change consists of a “Minor Change” to the original Development Permit
    and we make this request to change a development approval under Section 81 as the modification
    constitutes a minor change under the provisions of the Act.

    A minor change means a change that –
    (b) for a development approval
         (i) would not result in substantially different development; and
         (ii) if a development application for the development, including the change, were made when
               the change application is made would not cause—
               (a) the inclusion of prohibited development in the application; or
               (b) referral to a referral agency, other than to the chief executive, if there were no referral
                    agencies for the development application; or
               (c) referral to extra referral agencies, other than to the chief executive; or
               (d) a referral agency to assess the application against, or have regard to, matters
                    prescribed by regulation under section 55(2), other than matters the referral agency
                    must have assessed the application against, or have had regard to, when the
                    application was made; or
              (e) public notification if public notification was not required for the development application.

    Our assessment of the above is as follows:

    In relation to item (b) (i), the proposal would not constitute substantially different development.
    Substantially different development is outlined in Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment Rules
    under the Planning Act 2016 as follows:

    1)    A change may be considered to result in a substantially different development if the proposed
          change:
          a) involves a new use; or
          b) results in the application applying to a new parcel of land; or
          c) dramatically changes the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance; or
          d) changes the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended; or
          e) removes a component that is integral to the operation of the development; or
          f) significantly impacts on traffic flow and the transport network, such as increasing traffic to
              the site; or
          g) introduces new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts; or
          h) removes an incentive or offset component that would have balanced a negative impact of
              the development; or
          i) impacts on infrastructure provisions.

    The proposal is not substantially different as outlined above on the basis that:
    • The proposal does not involve a new use and the uses of the site will remain as originally
       approved for the purpose of a Dwelling House.
    • The proposal does not apply to a new parcel of land and continues to apply to Lot 9 on SP111721.
    • The proposed change does not dramatically change scale, bulk and appearance of the existing,
       approved built form.
    • The proposal does not change the ability of the development to operate as intended. The
       premises will continue to operate as originally approved for the purpose of a Dwelling House.

    •    The change does not include removal of any component which would be integral to the operation
         of the development.
    •    The proposed changes will not alter traffic flow and the transport network.
    •    The change will not introduce new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts.
    •    The changes do not remove an incentive or offset component.
    •    The changes do not impact on infrastructure provisions.

    On the basis of the above, the proposal does not constitute substantially different development.

    In relation to item (b) (ii) (a), the proposal does not include prohibited development.

    In relation to point (b) (ii) (b), (c) and (d), the original application was not subject to referral and the
    proposed change would not trigger any additional referral requirement or referral agency assessment.

    In relation to point (b) (ii) (e), the original development application was subject to Code Assessment
    and public notification was not required. The proposed change remains Code Assessable.

    In accordance with the above, we confirm that the change proposed is a minor change as outlined
    in Section 81 of the Planning Act 2016 and requires amendment approved plans only.

    The application fees would be $1,376 for a change application under Section 81 of the Planning
    Act.

    It is requested that Council issue an invoice addressed to our Client such that we can arrange
    payment of the applicable fee.

    Please find attached the completed Planning Act Form for your records.

    We trust that the supplied information is sufficient for Council to address this matter.

    In the event that you do require clarification, or any further information please do not hesitate to
    contact the undersigned on (07) 3846 0807.

    Yours faithfully,
    Plan A Town Planning Pty Ltd
