1. PROPOSAL
The applicant seeks approval to change an existing development approval for a Multiple Dwelling
- 4 Units (the ‘proposed development’) at 130-132 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville.
The applicant has lodged a change application to resolve changes to the design which were
undertaken after the original development permit was issued. The change application proposes
the following amendments:
• Conversion of the ground floor bathroom into a powder room;
• Changes to landscaping treatments in rear courtyards of all units, reducing the landscaping
area however remaining compliant with relevant zone code provisions;
• Changes to the basement footprint extent adjoining the eastern and western (side)
setbacks, however no encroachments into setbacks are proposed;
• Changes to layout configurations in basements;
• Administrative corrections to section plan labelling.
The changes proposed overall do not introduce additional non-compliance with the scheme
provisions.
The locality and proposal plan are included below.

2. BACKGROUND
A preliminary approval for a multiple dwelling of 4 units and associated operational works was
issued on 27 July 2023.
A condition was included in the preliminary approval requiring amended plans to be submitted
before the issue of a development permit and full set of operational works conditions. The condition
required amendments in relation to landscaping, eaves, removal of retractable screens and step
free access, together with the requirement to backfill the basement level.
The applicant suspended the appeal period and made representations on 9 August 2023 to the
preliminary approval conditions. Council met with the applicant on 29 August 2023 to discuss the
change representations and to request further amended plans regarding issues with landscaping,
engineering plans and eave calculations.
The applicant provided further plans, which addressed many of the amendments required and
accordingly it was agreed to change the Preliminary Approval to a Development Permit.
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
• The Noosa Plan 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 changes will
not result in a dramatically different building form;
Page 6 of 11
Document Set ID: 23145917
Version: 6, Version Date: 20/10/2025
Page 7
• 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 following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
• Medium Density Residential Zone Code;
• Noosaville Local Plan Code;
• Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code;
• Works Codes;
• Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Code;
• Flood Hazard Overlay Code.

Assessment:
The previous approval (MCU22/0196) assessed and approved a number of non-compliances
which have since been constructed:
• Building height approved at 8.535m to the apex of the roof.
• Roof form incorporated eaves to less than 75% of the total perimeter.
• Landscaped setbacks to the frontage reduced to less than 2m from the front boundary for a
small portion of the site to allow for an appropriately screened bin store enclosure.
The proposed changes have resulted from modifications to the building made between the council
approval and building approval stages. These changes are generally considered minor and do not
alter the approved conditions currently in effect.
The applicant also seeks approval to convert the ground floor bathroom into a powder room which
requires deletion of condition 10 which states:
10. One of the four (4) Multiple Dwelling units is to be:
a. accessible by a safe, continuous and step free path of travel from the street entrance of
the property or from a car parking space;
b. has a step-free entrance door with opening width of at least 820 millimetres; and
c. contains a bathroom on the entry level.
The condition reflects AO9 of the Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code. The corresponding
Performance Outcome details that Multiple dwellings are to enable people with limited mobility to
access the building. The applicant has included a lift that enables people with limited accessibility
to access the upper level bathroom whilst still providing a powder room on the ground floor. The
change is considered acceptable.
Changes to Conditions:
The applicant has not requested any changes to conditions through application material provided.
Several conditions will be required to be amended as a result of the minor change including deletion
of condition 10.

does not raise any significant issues that cannot be addressed by reasonable and relevant
conditions. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
