‘Substantially different’
development

Comment

 

Involves a new use

The Multiple dwelling use remains unchanged.

 

Results in the application applying
to anew parcel of land

No new land is applied over as part of this change
application.

 

Dramatically changes the built
form in terms of scale, bulk, and
appearance

As demonstrated within the architectural plans included
within Appendix A the built form reflects the old world
charm of the Cooroy vernacular with added modern
elements. The key development parameters such as site
cover and GFA, reflecting bulk and scale are similar to
that approved and continue to comply with the Planning
Scheme. One additional unit increases the density onsite
complying with the intent of the Planning Scheme to
maximise density on sites by providing small dwellings to
help alleviate the current housing crisis.

 

Changes the ability of the proposal
to operate as intended

The redesign does not alter the use as intended.

 

Removes a component that is
integral to the operation of the
development

The proposed minor change will not alter the operation
of the development.

 

Significantly impacts on traffic flow
and the transport network, such as
increasing traffic to the site

No impacts will result because of the proposed Minor
Change application. One additional unit will not

significantly impact on traffic movements of the site.

 

Introduces new impacts or increases
the severity of known impacts

No new impacts will occur as a result of the new layout.

 

Removes an incentive or offset
component that would have
balanced a negative impact of the
development

No incentive or offset component will be impacted as a
result of the proposed Minor Change.

 

Impacts on infrastructure provisions

 

 

The proposed Minor Change will not impact upon any

infrastructure network.
