4 Planning assessment

4.1 Minor Change Assessment
An assessment against the meaning of minor change and a response about the proposed application
is provided thereafter underlined. The Planning Act 2016 defines a minor change as a change to the
approval that:

       i. would not result in a substantially different development*;
              (*In determining whether the proposed change would result in substantially different
              development, the assessment manager or referral agency must consider the
              individual circumstances of the development, in the context of the change proposed.)

              A change may be considered to result in a substantially different development if the
              proposed change:

                -   Involves a new use; or

       Response: The proposed development does not change the existing surf club use.

                -   Results in the application applying to a new parcel of land; or

       Response: No new parcels of land are applicable.

                -   Dramatically changes the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance; or

       Response: No built form changes are proposed.

                -   Changes the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended; or

       Response: The site will still be used for lifesaving purposes and delivery vehicles can enter
       the site safely.

                -   Removes a component that is integral to the operation of the development; or

       Response: There are no components being removed from the development integral to the
       operation of the development.

                -   Significantly impacts on traffic flow and the transport network, such as
                    increasing traffic to the site; or

       Response: There is no change to the traffic flow onsite. There maybe a minor impact on
       traffic flow in Hastings Street sometimes for short periods because of deliveries but will not
       significantly impact on the transport network.

                -   Introduces new impacts or increases the severity of known impacts; or

       Response: No new impacts but as discussed aboe minor traffic impacts may occur.

                -   Removes an incentive or offset component that would have balanced the
                    negative impact of the development; or

       Response: The proposal does not remove an incentive or offset.

                -   Impacts on infrastructure provisions.

       Response: No change.
