               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
