Statutory Process

Change Application - Planning Act 2016

The proposed changes to the development approval, are considered to constitute a ‘minor change’ under
section 78 of the Planning Act 2016 on grounds that:
    + The change would not result in a substantially different development because the change relates to
         a minor addition involving a small pergola structure associated with a dual occupancy;
    + The changes would not cause the approval to include prohibited development;
    + The change would not require the application to be referred to a referral agency;
    + There were no referral agencies involved with the original application; and
    + The proposed change would not require notification under the Noosa Plan 2020.

For the reasons outlined above, it is considered that the proposed changes constitute a ‘minor change’ to
the approved development. On this basis, it is considered that the request should be dealt with pursuant to
provisions outlined within Section 81 of the Planning Act 2016.

Assessment Procedures

In accordance with Section 81 of the Planning Act 2016, in assessing the change application:

(4) The responsible entity must consider the statutory instrument, or other document, as in effect when the
development application for the development approval was properly made.
