Request for Change to Development Approval 51975.3702.03 (TPC 545)

         .

.r   .




             The attached       plans provide for calculations of existing and proposed site cover and GFA.      The

             proposed   calculations shown, also includes the works  proposed     to Lot 1 (part of separate MCU

             application) and which demonstrate compliance with current planning scheme provisions.

             The proposed change will not change the approved       use   of the site; only marginally increases site
             cover  and floor area; does not trigger the need for any additional       carparking; and will provide
             substantial visual amenity improvements.


             Sustainable Planning Act 2009


             The Sustainable Planning Act 2009 stipulates circumstances under which a Change to a Development
             Approval can be considered by the Assessment Manager.

             A permissible change/ for a development approva~ is a change to the approval that would not-
             (a)result in a substantially different development; or
             (b)ifthe application for the approval were remade including the change-
                (i)require referral to additional concurrence agencies; or
                (ii)for an approval for assessable development thatpreviously did not require impact
                 assessment-require impact assessment; or
             (c)for an approval for assessable development thatpreviously required impact assessment-be likely,
                 in the responsible entity’s opinion to cause a person to make a properly made submission
                 objecting to the proposed change/ ifthe circumstances allowed; or
             (d)cause development to which the approval relates to include any prohibited development

             The proposed change meets this criterion as follows:


             .   The change does not result in a substantially different development, as the change only provides
                 for refurbishments and minor extension works to the existing development and does not result in
                 any change or intensification of the use. The change will result in visual amenity improvements;
             .   There were no concurrence agencies with the original application and if remade would not require
                 referral to any additional concurrence agencies;
             .   The original Town Planning Consent application was subject to Impact Assessment;
             .   The  change is unlikely to cause a person to make a properly made submission if the
                 circumstances allowed as the change provides for amenity improvements and refurbishments to
                 the existing built form; and
             .   Does not include any prohibited development.


             In light of the above, it is considered that the proposed change which complies with the provisions of
             the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, is minor in nature, does not change the approved use of the site,
             does not offend the intent of the original approval and does not conflict with current planning scheme
             provisions. Approval of the request to change the development approval is therefore warranted.

             Should you have any questions with respect to the above, please do not hesitate to contact me direct.



             Yours faithfully
             KHA DEVELOPMENT MANAGERS
