               The Applicant has submitted:
               Change 1 – Front Façade
                    In response to Condition 3 of the approval, which requires that the front balustrade include a
                    mix of building materials or design to further articulate the front façade of the building, we
                    confirm the following amendments have been made: o The balustrade materials have been
                    revised from the originally approved aluminium finish to a timber rail with vertical timber
                    battens. o This amendment provides a contrasting texture and material finish, enhancing the
                    articulation of the front façade. o Furthermore, the two façades incorporate sufficient
                    differentiation in form and materiality to denote clear separation and provide visual reference
                    to the two distinct dwellings.

               Change 2 – Window Elevations
                   North-Facing Upstairs Bedrooms – Unit 1 (Please see attached) o On the original draft plans,
                   two aluminium screen structures were proposed to the north-facing upstairs bedroom
                   windows of Unit 1. In accordance with the General Planning Code and consistent with the
                   intent of the relevant provisions in Council’s development code, we have achieved the same
                   planning outcome by reducing the window heights of these bedrooms. This amendment
                   ensures compliance with privacy and design requirements while maintaining the overall
                   design intent.

               2.     BACKGROUND
               A development approval for Dual Occupancy was issued on 15 June 2023
               3.     ASSESSMENT
               3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to the proposed changes:
               •     Medium Density Residential Zone Code;
               •     Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code;
               •     Works Code.
               The applicant has provided amended plans that keep the character and amenity of the existing
               approval.
               Changes to Front Façade
               Condition 3 of the development permit requires resubmission of Elevation Plans. The plans were
               not submitted prior to the issue of the operational works, therefore are being captured and
               endorsed through a generally in accordance request.
               Acceptable Outcome AO X of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code seeks asymmetrical
               design with a combination of mixed materials to the front elevation.
               The dual occupancy achieves the Acceptable Outcome.

               Changes to windows along rear elevation
               To appropriately mitigate privacy between developments the window types have been amended.
               The proposed windows include a high sill height.


               The development is considered generally in accordance with the development permit.
               4.     CONSULTATION
               Not applicable
               5.     CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               The changes are considered minor and are in keeping with the approval and can be considered
               generally in accordance with the approval. 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 generally in accordance request is therefore
               recommended for approval.
               The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
