The proposed changes involve increasing the number of bedrooms within Units 11 and 12 from
two to three bedrooms, together with minor internal layout alterations and minor changes to
building façades. The requested changes include;
- conversion of Units 11 and 12 to 3 bedroom units which now results in 8 x two bedroom units
and 4 x two bedroom units;
- the extension of ground-level decks over the existing stormwater swale drain at the rear of the
site;
- updates to landscaping to reflect a 0.5-metre wide landscaped setback along the internal
driveway;
- amendments to car parking numbers to reflect the additional bedrooms; and
- updates to the approved stormwater and engineering plans to align with detailed operational
works drawings.

• Condition 2: Update approved plans list;
• Condition 29: Landscaping—include 0.5m setback along driveway;
• Condition 32: Update car parking numbers;
• Conditions 34 & 35: Stormwater drainage and quality treatment updates;
• Condition 48: Update approved engineering and landscaping plans;
• Condition 63: Update MCU reference to MCU21/0117.02;
• Condition 97: Align landscaping with MCU condition; and

2. BACKGROUND
19 January 2021 - MCU21/0117 - A development approval for a (Multiple Dwelling - 11 units)
was approved.
12 July 2024 - MCU21/0117.01 - A change request for a (Multiple Dwelling - 12
units) was approved.
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
Page 6 of 29
Document Set ID: 24138568
Version: 7, Version Date: 17/04/2026
Page 7
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 Noosa Plan 2020
(Sept 2020). 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:
• Medium Density Residential Zone Code;
• Cooroy Local Plan Code;
• Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code;
• Works Codes; and
• Regional Infrastructure Overlay Code (Water Supply Pipeline).

36. A stormwater quality treatment system must be provided for the development. The works
must be undertaken in accordance with the Bioretention Technical Design Guidelines (Water
by Design, 2012), and must include in particular stormwater quality treatment devices of a

Assessment of Request
The requested amendment was referred to development engineering for consideration.
Development engineering advise;
The proposed engineering related changes include:
1. A deck extension to the Unit 6 terrace spanning across the proposed stone pitched swale;
2. Replacement of the Unit 8 terrace with a deck spanning across the level spreader /
stormwater discharge location;
3. Re-configuration of the bio-retention basin resulting in an increase of the bio-retention
area from 9m² to 16m².
A site inspection confirmed that construction has occurred at the site regarding the enlargement
level spreader and bio retention area. The bio-retention basin results in an increase area from 9m²
to 16m². It is unclear why the inconsistency between the approved plans and the constructed
infrastructure has occurred however the works do not impact the functioning of the stormwater
design approved for the development consistent with Council’s Planning Scheme Policy - SC6.7.6
Stormwater Management.
Plans relevant to the MCU have been amended to ensure maintenance of the bio retention area
can occur via common property and as such Council support the proposed changes.
Recommendation
Agree. It is recommended existing conditions 34 and 35 be amended as follows.
Stormwater Drainage
34. The site must be provided with a stormwater drainage system connecting to a lawful point of
discharge and be in accordance with the Queensland Urban Drainage Manual (QUDM). The

reserves and roads are protected from ponding or actionable nuisance from stormwater
as a result of any works undertaken.
c) The site stormwater system is to accommodate stormwater from Lot 1 RP153798
external to the site, including registration of drainage easements over the site drainage
system in favour of Lot 1 RP153798.

blockage allowance for any pipe system, consistent with
QUDM.
