Minor Change Report 51901 3604 03 · 51901.3604.03

               •       the development would not result in substantially different development;
               •       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 application is required to be assessed against the 1973 planning scheme current at the time
               of the original application, but Council may have regard to the current planning scheme where
               appropriate.
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •       Tourist Accommodation Zone Code;
               •       Noosa Heads Local Plan Code;
               •       Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code;
               •       Works Codes.
               The proposed change will result in an increase in gross floor area of 21.87m2. The existing
               development has a gross floor area of 6,196m2 and the Noosa Plan 2020 permits a total of
               7,195m2. The 1973 planning scheme included no plot ratio requirement, instead including site
               cover requirements.
               In terms of car parking, the table below provides a summary of the proposal’s compliance with the
               1973 planning scheme and the Noosa Plan 2020 car parking requirements. The table identifies
               that the existing development falls short of the 1973 planning scheme and the Noosa Plan 2020
               car parking requirements. As the proposed change does not constitute a bedroom and will be
               appropriately conditioned for the space not to be utilised as a room i.e., inclusion of a nib wall so
               the area remains open, additional car parking is not required.
               The unit extension is not considered to increase the car parking demand.

               5.      CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
               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.
