Like to speak to these questions. Would you like your writer to close? All good, thank you. All right, I'll take it to the vote. All those in favour? And that's also carried unanimously. Thank you. Seven, Noosa Parade Noosa Heads and other change to dwelling house. That's item 7.2.6.

Delegation so if I could just expand on that it's a application that was applied from 2025 so quite recently and at that recently time and at that time the version of the Planning Scheme had a house as being a consistent use within the medium density residential zone and with the most recent changes to the Planning Scheme that is now an inconsistent use in the zone so we've got a very recent approval for a dwelling house approved at a time when it was consistent and they're more seeking to make changes to that development and when we look at the definition of minor change one of the aspects that needs to be adhered to is that public notification would not be required if public notification was not initially required and the application now would require notification and didn't require notification and there was no submissions because of that change from a consistent use to an inconsistent use so we have to look at the application through the lens of the current Planning Scheme and what it would trigger um in terms of level of assessment when that change is applied for as if the whole development would have been made so I'm hoping that's not having complicated things for you by explaining that but that's the reason why we're here today as they are very minor and inconsequential changes designed it's essentially a process issue and our delegation is are requiring it to come back to Council. I've had some initial conversations with Diana and we'll continue to have conversations around potential changes to the delegations to recommend changes to the delegations to Council to consider whether these items should not come before you in the future. I'm trying to find so question I a tried.

That's correct. They'll still have to go through the same process where they might be considered a minor change. They will still be considered another change and require notification, but they would not be required to come back to Council for these very minor matters. So around the same time there was changes to the Planning Act where previously a house in the medium and high density residential zone could not require a Material Change of Use, so we couldn't make it consistent or inconsistent on that basis. There's been a change in the Planning Act so that those zones, a dwelling house now can be in consistent use and it's part of a most much recent change. To the planning schemes, Council has effectively taken that approach in those zones, obviously to try and accommodate more dwellings in the zones that are designed to accommodate them.
