Minor Change Report

Given the earlier intent for flexibility of uses, rather than defined tenancies, we note that the previously
submitted Economic Impact Assessment addendum (dated 6 August 2019) and revised Traffic Impact
Assessment (dated 17.09.2019) provided an assessment against a higher quantum of the
predominant retail showroom use being:

•      Economic Impact Assessment addendum - 8,780m²; and

•      Revised Traffic Impact Assessment – 7,965m²
Accordingly, the information made publicly available during the public notification process has now
over-estimated the proposed quantity, and that a marginal reduction in this is inconsequential. We
note that the base position to support the intended retail showroom use remains valid and consistent,
being that the total trade area is currently undersupplied by just over 23,000m², increasing to almost
38,000m² by 2031, assuming no other competitive development come online during this period.
The statutory elements of the proposed minor change are discussed in Section 3 below.

3.          ASSESSMENT OF MINOR CHANGE
Consideration has been given to the relevant matters for assessing a minor change in the Planning
Act, having regard to the definition of minor change in Schedule 2 and the assessment criteria in
Section 52(3).

3.1.        SCHEDULE 2 ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
Schedule 2 of the Planning Act, outlines the definition of a minor change for a development approval
(see below). Each of the proposed changes as outlined above have been assessed against these
criteria, as follows:

         Schedule 2 - minor change means a change that—

         (a) for a development application—

          (i) does not result in substantially different development; and

          (ii) if the application, including the change, were made when the change is made—
          would not cause—

            (A) the inclusion of prohibited development in the application; or

            (B) referral to a referral agency if there were no referral agencies for the
                development application; or

            (C) referral to extra referral agencies; 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
