               •       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               The original application was lodged and assessed under the now superseded Noosa Plan 2006.
               Pursuant to s81 of the Planning Act 2017, Council must consider the planning scheme in effect
               when the original development application was lodged, however Council may give weight to Noosa
               Plan 2020 as the planning scheme in effect at the time of the minor change application being
               lodged.
               The following codes from Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •       Community Facilities Zone Code;
               •       Cooroy Local Plan Code;
               •       Community Activities Code Code;
               •       Works Codes;
               •       Heritage Overlay Code.

               The only assessable change is the loss of one parking space:

                   1 emergency vehicle space
                   Total 67 spaces required
                                                                                  Total 66
                   Motorcycle spaces required - 1/10 parking spaces - 7
                   Note: parking space credit for motorbike spaces – 1 per 4

                   Current scheme

                   56 staff x 0.5 = 28
                   69 beds/3 = 23 spaces
                   3/medical practitioner - 15
                   1 emergency vehicle space
                   Total 67 spaces required
                   parking space credit for motorbike spaces – 1 per 4



               The parking requirements under the current and superseded schemes is the same, being 67,
               including the requirement for emergency vehicles.
               The proposed minor change reduces the parking provision from 64 to 63, not considering credit for
               motorcycle spaces provided.
               Overall, the loss of one parking space out of 64 to facilitate safety infrastructure is not considered
               a significant issue. The hospital is located within the township of Cooroy and there are significant
               opportunities for off-street parking nearby, along the frontage of the site to Maple Street.
