upstairs area for dining purposes until the unit is ready for construction. An assessment of the

change is detailed below. The Planning Act 2016 states that a minor change:

     b) for a development approval, is a change to the approval that —
      (i) would not result in a substantially different development; and

              No new use proposed as site approved for units and restaurant.

        (c) dramatically changes the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance;

              Building form not significantly altered as works will be located in existing structures
              currently on the roof level Building height and building form are consistent with the
              existing development on the site.

        (d) changes the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended;

              The additional dining area will complement the restaurant uses on the site.

              which the restaurant owners advises that only 30m2 is available for seating will not
              significantly impact on traffic flow.

              Restaurant uses currently exist on the site.
