4. Assessment Of Minor Change
4.1. Overview

The Planning Act establishes two types of changes to a development approval:

▪      A ‘minor change’ to a development approval: or
▪      An ‘other change’ to a development approval.
For a change application to be considered as a minor change, the change to the development approval must meet the
definition of a ‘minor change’ as set out in Schedule 2 of the Planning Act. See below.

     ‘A change that⎯
                b.   for a development approval⎯
                         i.     would not result in substantially different development; and
                         ii.    if a development application for the development, including the change, were made when the
                                change application is made would not cause⎯
                                A.   the inclusion of prohibited development in the application; or
                                B.   referral to a referral agency, other than to the chief executive, if there were no referral
                                     agencies for the development application; or
                                C.   referral to extra referral agencies, other than to the chief executive; or
                                D.   a referral agency to assess the application against, or have regard to, matters prescribed by
                                     regulation under section 55(2), other than matters the referral agency must have assessed the
                                     application against, or have had regard to, when the application was made; or
                                E.   public notification if public notification was not required for the development application’.
With respect to item (b)(i), Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment Rules provides guidance on the determination of
whether a proposed change does or does not constitute ‘substantially different development’. These provisions are for
