Cover Letter 30.11.2023

Assessment on whether proposed change is a Minor Change:

Under the definition from Schedule 2 of the Planning Act 2016, it is considered that the proposed change is a Minor Change.

Given the existing approval included a referral trigger for Operational Work involving the removal destruction or damage of
marine plants, it is considered that the change does not result in substantially different development and if the development,
including the change, were made now, it 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, in assessing the application under section55(2), to assess the application against, or have
        regard to, a matter, other than a matter the referral agency must have assessed the application against, or had
        regard to, when the application was made; or
     E) public notification if public notification was not required for the development application.
