TPC2413- Change to an Existing Approval · 51991.475.07

    “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




application was properly made. Notwithstanding this, the assessment may give weight to the
Noosa Plan 2020, being the planning scheme in effect at the time this minor change
application was lodged.

Pursuant to the Noosa Plan 2020, the following codes are the applicable assessment
benchmarks for this development:
   • Medium Density Residential Zone Code (MDRZC);
   • Noosa Heads Local Plan Code;
   • Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Use Code;
   • Works Codes;
   • Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code.

While the above codes apply to the development, the proposal is not considered to conflict
with the relevant acceptable outcomes or the overall intent of those codes. The principal issue
arising from the proposal relates to car parking, which is addressed further below.

Medium Density Residential Zone Code

The purpose of the MDRZC is for medium density multiple dwellings and community uses, and
small-scale services, facilities and infrastructure, to support local residents.

The proposed changes to the development approval maintains consistency with the outcomes
sought by the MDRZC, however the key outcomes are discussed in detail below:

Building Scale and Bulk

The proposed change does not significantly affect the appearance of the building bulk and
scale of the existing development 1. The proposal to enclose the carport to construct a garage
is minor in nature and does not result in an increase in the gross floor area for the existing
unit. The built form and design of the existing building largely remain unchanged and
therefore maintains a scale that is compatible with the surrounding development and does
not present an appearance of bulk to adjacent properties.

Setbacks

The proposed building work does not seek to reduce the prescribed setbacks of the MDRZC
and therefore maintains compliance with outcomes sought by the code 2.
