Table 1 – ‘Minor change’ criteria (Schedule 2 - Dictionary)


The proposed change represents a minor change under Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment Rules, as the
outcome does not result in ‘substantially different’ development as outlined below.

    Substantially Different Criteria                              Response
    A change may be considered to result in a substantially different development if the proposed change:
        a) involves a new use                                     Complies – the change does not involve a new use
        b) results in the application applying to a new parcel Complies – the proposed change will not result in any
           of land; or                                            new parcels of land being included as part of the
                                                                  application
        c) dramatically changes the built form in terms of        Complies – the proposed change does not involve any
           scale, bulk and appearance; or                         notable changes to the approved built form
        d) changes the ability of the proposed development Complies – the proposed change does not change the
           to operate as intended; or                             ability for the development to operate as intended
        e) removes a component that is integral to the            Complies – The proposed change does not remove a
           operation of the development; or                       component that is integral to the development
        f) significantly impacts on traffic flow and the          Complies – The proposed amendments will not result in
           transport network, such as increasing traffic to       any additional impacts not already addressed as part of
           the site; or                                           the original approval
        g) introduces new impacts or increase the severity of Complies – The proposed amendment will not result in
           known impacts; or                                      increased severity of known impacts.
        h) removes an incentive or offset component that          Complies – the proposed change does not remove any
           would have balanced a negative impact of the           incentive or offset component of the proposed
           development; or                                        development.
        i) impacts on infrastructure provisions.                  Complies – the proposed minor change does not result in
                                                                  any adverse impacts on infrastructure provisions.
Table 2 – Substantially different criteria (Schedule 1 – Development Assessment Rules)



Affected Entities
The original application was required to be referred to SARA for contaminated land (unexploded ordinances) in
accordance with Schedule 10, Part 4, Division 3, Table 1, Item 1 (10.4.3.1.1). The requirements of the referral agency
conditions have been met, and as such, this minor change does not trigger referral to any ‘affected entities’.




Summary
As demonstrated above, the proposed minor change to the existing development approval represents a minor change
under s78 of the Planning Act 2016 and Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment Rules, as the proposed change does
not result in ‘substantially different development’, require additional referral agencies or change the level of assessment,
