Minor Change Report RAL22 0016 01 [As Published]

               We seek to make change representations to condition 28 of OPW22/0180 as shown below -
               amending the standard from Level 1 to Level 2. SCG Consulting Engineers describes that ‘because
               the building is supported on screw piers, Level 1 certification of filling & compaction isn’t needed.
               It is requested this be amended to a Level 2 certification.
               There are no changes to the approved plans.
               2.     BACKGROUND
               A development approval for Reconfiguring a Lot - Subdivision by Community Title and Operational
               Works – Drainage Work, Stormwater, Earthworks & Landscaping, was approved on 3 February
               2023.
               The applicant made change representations against the development permit however the
               application exceeded the legislative timeframes under the Planning Act 2016, therefore a
               negotiated decision could not be issued as it would result in an invalid approval. The immediate
               application is consequence of the timeframe exceedance.
               3.     ASSESSMENT
               3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
               statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
               •      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 as the changes
                      does not alter from the approved plans, the change refers to building certification;
               •      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 following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      Medium Density Residential Zone Code;
               •      Noosa Heads Local Plan Code;
               •      Reconfiguring a Lot Code;
               •      Works Codes;
               •      Landslide Hazard Overlay Code.
               The subject site is located in Noosa Heads and is zoned Medium Density Residential. The
               proposed use is identified as a consistent use within the zone and is required to follow a code
               assessable application process.
               The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments.

                                                                                                       Page 2 of 3
