Minor Change Letter

2.   In assessing the change application, the responsible entity must consider—
     a.   the information the applicant included with the application; and

 Response to Subsection 2(a)
 This covering letter and the supporting plans provides a brief background of the approval history along with an
 overview of the proposed changes to the development approval.

 The proposed changes are supported by the agreement reached with Council with respect to the Child Care Centre
 appeal (ref: 1998 of 2024). It is considered that all information required for Council to assess the application has been
 provided.

 The submitted assessment confirms the proposal meets the definition of a minor change as set out in the Planning
 Act, and complies with the relevant matters of assessment, consistently with that previously approved.


     b.   if the responsible entity is the assessment manager⎯any properly made submissions about the development
          application or another change application that was approved; and

 Response to Subsection 2(b)
 The original development application was subject to code assessment under the planning scheme and therefore,
 while submissions can be made, no third-party appeal rights are provided to submitters.


     c.   any pre-request response notice or response notice given in relation to the change application; and

 Response to Subsection 2(c)
 A pre-request response was not provided.


     d.   if the responsible entity is, under section 78A(3), the Minister ⎯all matters the Minister would or may assess against
          or have regard to, if the change application were a development application called in by the Minister; and

 Response to Subsection 2(d)
 The responsible entity of this change request is Noosa Shire Council and not the Minister.


     e.   if the responsible entity is, under section 78A(4), the chief executive—all matters the chief executive would or may
          assess against or have regard to, if the change application were a development application declared to be an
          application for State facilitated development under section 106D; and

 Response to Subsection 2(e)
 The responsible entity of this change request is Noosa Shire Council and not the chief executive.


     f.   if paragraphs (d) and (e) do not apply—all matters the responsible entity would or may assess against or have regard
          to, if the change application were a development application;

 Response to Subsection 2(f)
 Further to the original assessment of the development application, where potentially new matters of assessment have
 been identified, this letter and supporting plans and technical reports provide sufficient supporting information for
 Council to have regard to.


     g.   if another matter that the responsible entity considered relevant.
