L04 Permissible change.doc · MCU14/0016.01

The owner of the site has now secured several tenants who require altered tenancy floor areas. In this
regard amended plans have been prepared which illustrate changes to tenancy 3 and 4 and the upper level
office areas.

Attachment A provides plans prepared by Peter Middap Architects of the proposed changes which detail:

                 •   Reduction of ground floor shop areas as detailed in the table below;

                 •   Increased upper level office area as detailed in the table below;

                  Tenancy                 MCU 14/0016             Current proposal
                  Shop 1                  192m2                   160m2
                  Shop 2                  180m2                   150m2
                  Shop 3                  176m2                   120m2
                  Shop 4                  202m2                   155m2
                  Upper Floor Office      104m2                   200m2
                  TOTAL                   854m2                   785m2



                 •   New rear stairway from upper level;

                 •   Rearrangement of upstairs office area;

                 •   Increased service areas to rear of ground floor tenancies;

                 •   4 scooter parking bays and 1 vehicle carpark;

                 •   No external works proposed;

                 •   No new floor area.

In support of the proposal the following is noted:

        •   MCU14/0016 approves over 854m2 for the site and the changes to the plans detail an
            area of 785m2.

        •   All works are internal to the site;

        •   Carparking fully complies with scheme requirements as shops have a higher carparking
            rate than offices;


Sustainable Planning Act
Section 367 of the Sustainable Planning Act defines a permissible change for a development approval
as:

         (1) A permissible change, for a development approval, is a change to the approval that
        would not, because of the change—
        (a) result in a substantially different development; or
        (b) if the application for the approval were remade including the change—
                           (i) require referral to additional concurrence agencies;
                           or
                          (ii) for an approval for assessable development that previously did not require
                          impact assessment—require impact assessment; or
        (c) for an approval for assessable development that previously 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, if the circumstances allowed; or
