2. BACKGROUND
A development approval for Operational Works (Earthworks, Frontage Works, Landscaping,
Stormwater and Crossover) was approved on 21 June 2024.
The subject change application is a result of minor amendments undertaken to the dwelling layout
which do not implicate on any of the engineering aspects of the project. The associated higher
order approval (MCU20/0037.02) was also subject to a change application. This change was
approved on 12 May 2025.

Only changes to Condition 1 (Approved Plans) of the subject have been considered – refer below.
3. ASSESSMENT
3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
• State Planning Policy;
• South East Queensland Regional Plan;
• Planning Regulation 2017; and
• Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020).
3.2. 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 substantially different development as the proposal does
not:
o involve a new use; or
o result in the application applying to a new parcel of land; or
o dramatically change the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance; or
o change the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended; or
o remove a component that is integral to the operation of the development; or
o significantly impact on traffic flow and the transport network, such as increasing traffic
to the site; or
o introduce new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts; or
o remove an incentive or offset component that would have balanced a negative impact
of the development; or
o impact on infrastructure provisions.
• 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 matters prescribed by regulation;
• where the original application was code assessable, the change would not cause the
application to become impact assessable.
3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The original application was lodged and assessed under the now superseded add relevant
planning scheme. Pursuant to s81 of the Planning Act 2017, Council must consider the planning
scheme in effect when the original development application was lodged, however Council may give
weight to Noosa Plan 2020 as the planning scheme in effect at the time of the minor change
application being lodged.
The following codes from Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
• Works Codes.
Existing Condition 1
1. Development authorised by this approval must be undertaken generally in accordance with
the Approved Plans listed in the tables below. The plans must be amended to incorporate
