Statutory Process
The applicant has requested to make a minor change to a development approval under s78 of the Planning Act 2016. An application for a minor change to a development approval can only be made in circumstances where a change would constitute a ‘minor change’.
The proposed change to the development approval requested by the applicant is determined to constitute a minor change on the grounds that:
the development would not result in a substantially different development as the proposal includes an additional bedroom and ensuite, patio roof form additions and internal alterations to the existing Detached House;
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 mattes prescribed by regulation;
where the original application was code assessable, the change would not cause the application to become impact assessable.
Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The proposed changes are generally consistent with the planning scheme provisions in place at the time the original development application was made and the current planning scheme provisions.
Setbacks
The proposed additions and alterations comply with the standard setback requirements of the planning scheme, except for the proposed bedroom and ensuite on the northern elevation. The proposed bedroom and ensuite is located on the upper level and setback 1.628 metres from the side boundary in lieu of 2 metres (figures 5 & 6).
Figure 5 – Side boundary encroachment
Figure 6 – Side boundary encroachment
The proposed setback encroachment sits lower on the land than the adjoining properties to the north and west and the adjoining properties contain existing dense mature vegetation (figures 7 and 8).

Figure 8 – Site perspective from the northwest (18 Mcanally Dr)
The proposed setback encroachment is unlikely to detrimentally impact the amenity of the adjoining neighbours as the existing view lines will be retained and the proposed built form will be screened by the existing dense vegetation on the adjoining properties. No concern is raised by the proposed setback encroachment.
Site Cover
The proposed additions and alterations are contained within the existing building footprint and therefore the site cover of the development will not be increased.
Roof Form
The proposed roof extensions are minor increases to the existing roof form and comply with the requirements of the Detached House Code. The proposed roof form is unlikely to detrimentally impact the amenity of surrounding properties and is consistent and uniform with that of the existing dwelling. No concern is raised by the proposed roof form.

conclusion & reasons for decision
The proposal generally complies with the requirements of the planning scheme. It is recommended that condition 1 be amended to include the proposed additions and alterations. The conditions within the existing approval suitably address the proposed.
