Attention: Development Assessment
Dear Planning Officer,
RE: MINOR CHANGE APPLICATION: MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE – MUTIPLE
HOUSING – COUNCIL REF: MCU17/0071
2/8 DOONELLA ST, TEWANTIN (LOT 2 SP347723)
Please find attached an application for a Minor Change to vary the following elements of the
approved drawings that were approved by Council on 15/11/2017 for the Multiple Housing
Development at the above address:
1. Ground floor patio addition to Unit 2.
Detailed plans are enclosed.
We believe that the proposal generally complies with all Acceptable Outcomes of the
‘Medium Density Residential Zone Code’ and ‘Dual Occupancy and Multiple Dwelling Code’
and the following comments are made in support of this:
The proposed works involve a minimal increase in GFA, given that the works are
solely for an open patio structure which is 5m x 4.4m in area.
The proposed new patio faces towards the north and is designed to not look over the
habitable areas of adjoining dwellings;
All works are under 8 metres in height;
The side boundary setback complies with AO14.1 of the Medium Density Res Zone
Code;
There is an existing landscaped area at the rear of the property between the
proposed patio and the rear boundary, which will soften the visual impact of the
structure;
The proposal will maintain existing private open space at the rear of the building.
We believe that the proposal meets the definition of ‘minor change’ to a development
approval under Schedule 2 of the Planning Act 2016 as follows:
This change is not and does not result in a different development;
The change would not cause prohibited development;
There is no referral agency required; and
There is no public notification required.

In addition, the proposed change is not considered a ‘substantially different development’ as
outlined under the ‘Development Assessment Rules’ version 1.2, as follows:
The minor change does not result in a substantially different development;
Development is not resulting in a new use, new parcel of land, change in built form,
impact on traffic or increased impact on neighbours or infrastructure.
Given the above, we believe that there is sufficient justification for the proposed works to be
able to be approved as a minor change to the existing approval, and it is therefore requested
that Council endorse the enclosed amended plans as referenced documents.
