                                                          The subject site currently contains an existing
                                                          dwelling that was approved under 18221 DA.

                                                          2. THE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION
                                                          In accordance with the Noosa Plan the site is
                                                          subject to the provisions of the Plan of
                                                          Development No 65 (POD).

                                                          A development approval for a dwelling was
                                   Subject site           issued in 2001 under 18221 DA. This
                                                          application seeks to change the existing
                                                          approval by:

                                                               •   extending the existing kitchen area
                                                                    onto the existing deck at the front of
                                                                    the site
                                                               •   seeking approval for a basement
                                                                    bedroom, ensuite and steam room
                                                                    that was built by the previous owner.

                                                          The proposed works are consistent with the
                                                          existing development form of the Noosa
                                                          Dunes estate and is located within the existing
                                                          building on site.




Proposal plans are included as Attachment A.

3. ASSESSMENT

The applicant seeks to make a minor change to the existing development approval under section 78 of
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 a substantially different development as the use is not
         changing and the external appearance is slightly altered by the alteration to a deck;
      • 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 mattes prescribed by regulation;
      • where the original application was code assessable, the change would not cause the
         application to become impact assessable.

The Noosa Plan 2006 indicates that the proposed detached house is to be assessed against the provisions of
POD 65. The POD includes the following parameters:

4. CONCLUSION

The development proposal fully complies with the Plan of Development and should be approved. The
proposed works are located within the existing building and do not impact on the surrounding area. The
Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is therefore
recommended.
