RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Development Assessment Manger to the General Committee
Meeting dated 18 January 2021 regarding planning applications that have been decided by
delegated authority.

REPORT
The Local Government Act 2009 allows, by resolution, a local government to delegate its powers
to the Mayor, CEO, a standing committee or a joint standing committee and the CEO to delegate
those powers to another employee of Council.
Under the current delegations for the Planning Act 2016 the ability to manage, assess and decide
a range of development applications are delegated to officers with the exception of the following
which are reported to Council for a decision:
a)                       an application for a variation request mentioned in section 61 of the Planning Act 2016 to
                         vary the effect of the planning scheme;
b)                       the approval of an application where there is substantial non-compliance with a stated policy
                         of the Council or a high order provision of the Planning Scheme being a desired
                         environmental outcome, or an overall outcome of a code;
c)                       the refusal of any application where Council is the assessment manager;
d)                       requests for change representations, and change applications to change or delete conditions
                         that were imposed by Council at an Ordinary Meeting or a Special Meeting;
e)                       and an application for a proposed development of significant community interest.
It should be noted though that due to the strict time frames of the Planning Act 2016, officers under
the current delegations have the ability to decide an application where the application has the
potential for 'deemed approval'.
The following applications were decided by delegated authority during the month of November
2020 (excluding applications seeking to remove a tree(s) adjacent to a building or structure):

         1.               Application No.:       51983.3225.12
                          Application Type:      Material Change of Use - Minor Change to Approval
                          Applicant:             Robert Trevor Wadland TTE
                          Registered Plan:       Lot 17 GTP 1154, GTP 1154
                          Location:              The Hastings, 30 & 17/30 Hastings Street, Noosa Heads

                          Proposal:              Change to Development Approval
                          Decision:              Approved
                          Decision Date:         24/11/2020
