 3. Minor Change Test
An assessment against the meaning of minor change and a response about the proposed
application is provided below. The Planning Act 2016 defines a minor change as a change
to the approval that:
 It would not result in a substantially different development*;
 (*In determining whether the proposed change would result in substantially different
 development, the assessment manager or referral agency must consider the individual
 circumstances of the development, in the context of the change proposed.)
 Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment Rules set outs provisions for a substantially
 different development. A change may be considered to result in a substantially different
 development if the proposed change results in any of the following outlined in Table 1
 below.

     Rules

   (a) Involves a new use                        There are no new uses proposed onsite.

   (b) results in the application applying to    No new parcel of land is introduced.
       a new parcel of land; or
   (c) dramatically changes the built form       The built form and appearance is changing, however complies
       in terms of scale, bulk and               with the Noosa Plan parameters. There is an increase to site
       appearance; or                            cover of less than 0.4% (overall), a small increase overall
                                                 considering the site has a maximum GFA of 5,680m² and this
                                                 proposal increases the total GFA on site to 3,500m².

                                                 While the bulk of the building is different from the original
                                                 dwellings, these original dwellings are progressively being
                                                 demolished and replaced with contemporary dwellings. This
                                                 design is commensurate with the new built form onsite, one
                                                 being directly adjoining the subject GTP.

   (d) changes the ability of the proposed       There is no change to the operation of the development to

   (f)   significantly impacts on traffic flow   One additional bedroom is proposed and therefore 1 additional

                                                 use ride share and active transport modes.

   (g) introduces new impacts or increase        No new impacts or the severity of impacts will result from the
