RE: Minor Change Approval for Decision Notice
Council DA Reference: 172007.545.01
AT: 25 Arkana Drive Noosa Heads
Lot 78 RP94023
Dear Sir/Madam,
On behalf of our client, we request Council to consider the following justification for a
proposed minor change to the most recent Minor Change Approval (172007.545.01).
The proposed amendments (addition) to the existing Dwelling house is specifically the
upper level patio with a proposed 1m extension to the roofing. The proposed roofing
portion will be over 8m as generally in accordance as required under the exiting
approval with consideration to the following reasons:
- The existing dwelling house with patio and awning roof is existing however the
request is to extend the approved roof 1m, as indicated in red on the plans attached.
- The extension of the awning roofing will not create any additional impacts on the
neighbouring lot and their privacy. The setback will be clear of onlooking into the
adjoining dwelling window and a privacy drop down screen is included for privacy.
Additional potted plants are shown on the plans for screening along the southern side
of the balcony.
The proposed is requested due to:
- The western orientation exposes the house to extreme heat in the afternoon which
causes a high usage of air conditioning.
- The encroachment into the 8.0 m height is minimal and has no visual impact on
adjoining neighbours e.g no interruption to their view.
- The proposed will create use of the outdoor space which generally cannot be used
due to the western exposure and extreme weather conditions at times.

- The proposal meets the definition of ‘minor change’ to a development approval
under Schedule 2 of the Planning Act 2016:
• This change is not and does not result in a different development.
• The change would not cause prohibited development
• No referral agency required
• No public notification required
- The proposed change is not considered a ‘substantially different development’ as
outlined under the Development Assessment Rules version 1.2:
• The minor change does not result in a substantially different development.
• Development is not resulting in a new use, new parcel of land, change in built form,
impact on traffic or increased impact on neighbours or infrastructure.
In our opinion the concession is minor and the proposed complies with the intent of
the existing minor change approval. The proposed addition to the approved plans will
not impact on adjoining properties and privacy screening will be implemented. The
proposed remains in keeping with the character of the street.
I trust this information is sufficient for you to support the proposed design. Should
you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me on the office
numbers indicated above.
Yours faithfully
