RE: Minor Change Request – TPC1845 – Main Beach Boardwalk Wall and
Landscaping Amendments
Background
On the 21 November 1987, Council approved nine (9) Multiple Dwelling Units and four (4)
Shops at 37-39 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads. The original approval includes 34
conditions.
In April 2015, Council approved a change to the existing approval for renovation to the
building subject to additional Conditions 35 and 36.
On 17 November 2020, Council approved a change to the existing approval for renovation
to the swimming pool and open space area fronting the beach subject to amended
Condition 21 and additional Conditions 37 – 43.
On 3 November 2022, Council approved minor changes to the Hastings Street façade and
landscaping areas subject to amended condition 44 and a new condition 45.
Proposal
The applicant seeks to change a small portion of glass balustrade to a masonry wall and
enhance the garden along the Main Beach Boardwalk (adjacent to the boundary). The
proposal is sought as the development has trespassing issues - as the current built form
allows easy unlawful entry to the property. The masonry wall provides a safe and secure
barrier and will match the existing western beach side entry. The garden is proposed to be
enhanced to screen the wall with a landscaping plan provided as part of this package.
The proposal fully complies with the Noosa Heads Local Plan, Tourist Accommodation
Zone code and the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling code.

Response: No new parcels of land are applicable.
- Dramatically changes the built form in terms of scale, bulk and
appearance; or
Response: There are no changes to bulk or scale of the existing development with
the changes minor in nature.
- Changes the ability of the proposed development to operate as
intended; or
Response: The site will still be used for residential purposes.
- Removes a component that is integral to the operation of the
development; or
Response: There are no components being removed from the development integral
to the operation of the development.

made when the change application is made would not cause—
A. the inclusion of prohibited development in the application; or
Response: The change does not include any prohibited development.
B. referral to a referral agency, other than to the chief executive, if there were
no referral agencies for the development application; or
Response: No referral agencies were applicable to the original application.
C. referral to extra referral agencies, other than to the chief executive; or
Response: No referral agencies are applicable to the current development. The site
is located outside of the Coastal Management District.
D. a referral agency to assess the application against, or have regard to,
matters prescribed by regulation under section 55(2), other than matters
the referral agency must have assessed the application against, or have
had regard to, when the application was made; or

consider matters additional to those considered when the application was made.
E. public notification if public notification was not required for the
development application.
